    Despite all the RL stuff I have been quietly cutting the debt, decluttering and not spending. Large house project done and paid for - saved for a year for it ;) have taken my eye of the 0% transfers though and they will need some sorting out today, tomorrow.......next week !

    Back in love with Eb*y - made about £200 last month :)

    There are some buyers on Eb*y who need to get a life:mad: Some people want something for nothing and when they can't get their own way they are really unpleasant people. Of course Eb*y supports such eejits:mad::mad:

    Anyway undeterred I will keep going for now!

    Going to get rid off stuff on z*per too this weekend☺

    Fabulous day meteorologically. .........hard frost, blue skies, first proper covering of snow on mountains. Going to spend rest of day light in garden finishing the autumn tidy up. .......actually fingers might get frost bite before sun goes down!

    Ebay sales nearing £400........will get over nasty buyer and list some more. Have used some of this money to buy new expensive winter jacket and some shoes for work 2 pairs and a couple of bags ( one for DD2).......all very much cheaper than on the 'high street....' rest of money will be put to good use ;)

    Haven't been around for a while. ...mad busy. Now finished for 2016 with 3 ish weeks off work. Time to take stock. Have not taken my eye off the MSE ball.......debt busting is always on my mind. However I have become a little bored with recording it on here:eek: I am going to think about it over the holidays.......

    So with some clever couponing I managed to get my £150 plus shopping bill down to £35.56 plus double points and extra points on certain items..........hmmm maybe not lost my MSE mojo after all. The meat order to collect at 6am tomorrow morning - I hate queuing which is why I go when butchers open - which will be paid for by my saved up dragon £1 coins ( they welcome the change!) and a family lunch out tomorrow which will be paid for in part by mine and DD2 years collection of road kill ( close on £20) and a dip into my £2 collection tin :rudolf:

    Happy Christmas to all. Nadolig Llawen pawb :xmastree:

    Errum..........just emptied my voucher/coupon file and picked out what I could use to get money off. OH had some as well. Wasnt sure what could be accepted so just scanned the lot - did 2 trips round so 2 separate shops because I had money off vouchers for a 'qualifying spend' they were both expiring on same day and I wasnt going to be back before that date and didnt want to waste:D;)

    Been shifting CC debts again to 0% BT offers.............seems to never end this lark. Have made head way into the debt but when I do the calculations again, in that when will I be DF, it seems as far away as ever - feeling glum but not defeated. Thinking cap on. Charts,set squares,graph paper and colouring pencils to get out. Calculator fired up...........I'm going in. If I am not back soon then give me nudge please :o
