    Good morning
    Chalked up another NSD yesterday, hoping for more of the same today.
    Pad to capital one today of 40.00. So the balance should be well under 100.00 now.
    Watchers on all except 1 eBay items and bids on 2 items yey!!
    No plans at all today except working and loading/unloading the washing machine so a nice chilled day.
    DD went to nursery yesterday and feels much better now so must of been a 48 hour bug, so glad she picked up.
    Best get on with the day before the morning passes me by!!

    Morning
    My eBay funds have hit the credit card, just waiting for yesterday's pad to hit then the outstanding balance will only be 80.00!
    Still no more eBay bids but hopeful most of the items will sell
    Working today so going for nsd, ended up spending a fiver yesterday topping up my swipe card in work. That should last me a while though.
    House still tidy and it's making me want to be really organised so will try and keep on top of the washing, having washing round the house really gets me down.
    Looking forward to having a few days off work

    Have a nice day

    Happy weekend yey!!!

    Pads have all cleared on the cc so balance is just 80.00. Here's hoping for a good finish on eBay tomorrow to clear it.
    Got a letter from virgin yesterday offering me 250 mins free per month to 0845 numbers on my land line for life.
    I think that's pretty good as we already have the landline just no phone plugged in so Im off to buy a house phone this weekend and take them up on the offer. The only thing that causes me to have extra charges on the mobile is 0845 numbers so this will be useful to us and it's free!!!
    Need to set up ebilling with them this month as well, that will save 1.50 or so per month but it all counts!!
    Nothing much else to add

    Have a great Saturday

    Evening all,
    Well done on the car boot lianne that's brilliant. Were are you off to next weekend?
    I managed to sell 4 out of the 6 items on eBay and made 85.00!!! So provided they all pay I'll be able to clear cap 1 next week and my regular pad can either go toward Vanquis or Christmas! So pleased with that result.
    Can't wait until I am credit card free.
    Had a cheap weekend but need a little shop tomorrow, freezer full but fridge empty 20.00 in Iceland should do the trick.
    OH bought me some boots for Christmas he was insistent he buy them, we saw them in town they were 225.00 and I was uming and ahing so we left them. I caught him online last night trying to buy them as a surprise and quicky stopped him and looked for a discount code, he got them for 169.00 so he was well impressed!!
    Will get loads of wear out of them though. Spotted some nice jeans in topshop and need a nice jumper to go with. Also desperate for a new pair of converse.
    Can still list 2 items on eBay so instead of relisting the 2 items that didn't sell will list some higher value stuff and see how much I can raise toward my Xmas outfit

    Good morning
    Small spend day on the cards today need a tiny bit of food shopping
    1 ebayer has paid so far so 3 more to pay, ideally only want to make 1 trip to the post office so hopefully if they all pay today I can post them tomorrow.
    OH has the day off work tomorrow as he has an appointment in town so i will get eyebrows done and have a nose round the shops.
    Today's plans consist of
    Visit mother
    Go to the shops
    Have a look in the toyshop for bargains

    Hope everyone has a good day

    Hi Yellow!
    off to Blackpool for, would you believe, a xmas party night! Soo looking forward to it, but do feel a little guilty for enjoying the car boot money and not putting it towards the cc!.
    Well done on the ebaying - and then paying off your Cap 1!!!!! FAB!!!!

    Hi lianne
    Ohhh Blackpool! You will have a ball, dont feel guilty at least it's not going on a cc.

    Spent 25.00 today in Iceland but that included a tube of milky buttons and a tube of pink smarties for DD stocking.
    Need eyebrows doing tomorrow so that's 13.00 but don't need anything else

    Finally got round to treating myself, didn't get the boots instead I got 3 dresses and a pair of shoes all online in the sale for 60.00! Put them on cc so will pay half from current acc half from savings tomorrow.
    Still only 1 eBay paid so far ggrrrr really want to clear cc ASAP

    Sleep tight everyone

    Morning
    Hoping the other ebayers cough up today, getting very fidgety about this cc
    Going to list 2 items tonight to raise a bit if cash I'm now working on getting the Vanquis cc under 1k so need over 100 quid. Don't think that's entirely doable from ebaying 2 things but as always I'll give it my best shot.

    Please please please hurry up and pay ebayers!!!!!
