Morning all
A nice quiet relaxing day for me today, planning on tidying the house, visiting family then chilling out.
Have got a to do list as long as my arm for tomorrow so the aim is to complete it all. It's loads of fiddly things and phone calls I want to have done before the end of the month.
ebaying tonight so I will sort the items and photograph them this afternoon, also remembered about my old iPhone in the drawer, I'm going to send that off for recycling and put the funds towards the Vanquis card.
Can't be bothered ebaying it, there are too many scammers, people wanting a brand new shop item with a shop returns policy ggrrrr.
The phone works but the back is a little bit tatty, just not taking the chance putting it on eBay it's not worth the hassle.

Have a nice sunday y'all!

Put some shopping on the cc today will get the money back from OH through the week.
All ebayed out now so will not be listing anything else until the new year, will be nice to have a break away from it tbh.
Any money made now will go toward Vanquis, as will the expenses for the works night out and the iPhone money and my pads, can't wait to get the balance under 1k

Just going to settle DD for the night and watch trash tv, love Sunday night telly! Loads of goodies in as well from the shopping!

Have a nice evening all

got the money off OH for the shopping, put it straight in the bank and paid the cc straight away.
hoping the paypal money will hit the bank acc tomorrow so i can make that payment towards the cc, then ive only got to pay the money back for the dresses i bought as im returning the shoes on thursday.
small spend day today £13.00 in home bargains. only on shower gell,toothpaste etc. i tend to go every so often and stock pile, forgot to get handwash for the bathroom so i will get it through the week, was thinking about going back there thursaday anyway cos i saw some nice keep calm and carry on mugs and im sure they were only 1.00 each so want to go back and pick 4 up.
3 out of 4 ebay items have watchers and 1 has bids yey. hope i get a good few bob to pay off vanq cc.
early morning tomorrow as i have loads to do before work.
do a wash load
phone water board
go the post office
drop dd at mils
go the cab
go to work.

got a feeling that when i do my monthly totals in december the debt wont have reduced much (as long as i goes down not up is the main thing though!!!) as i feel like although im not adding anything extra to the cards im putting things on them and paying it off rather than not spending on them and making overpayments.
i reall do scrutinise (sp) before i spend though and think things through before i purchase and i cant get away with not spending at all cos of bl*ody xmas and i dont want to be a scrooge!!
i havent actually put anything on the cards for xmas or added to the debt so at least come january i can hit the ground running.

have a nice evening
y xx

Whoop de doo!! Paid the 100 eBay money off the cc! Just the shoes to be returned then pay for the dresses and it's gone!!
Sooo focus is now on the last cc.
Bid been placed on another eBay item so fairly confident they will all sell Sunday. Quite a few watchers on 1 dress but even if I only get 1 bid on each I'll be happy, I set the prices higher than usuall as it was free listing.
Don't need to get up until 6.30 so going to have a little read of some diaries before I get up.

Happy morning time everyone

Hey yellow! hope the NSD goes well today. and looks like your sticking with the 'pains' of ebay - whoop whoop!!

What have you got for your wee ones christmas?. I feel like scrooge since i started MSE'ing! Just looked at the list of stuff Ive bought DD, feel its not enough.... and I know thats daft as she will get loads anyway and shes still only young!! is it just me that feels guilty for everything, being a parent!!

yellow3

I know exactly what you mean lianne I keep looking at my list and think of things I can add but it's so unnecessary especially with the amount if debt I'm in.
Her main pressie is one of those vetch innotab things what a song and dance I had trying to get one of those!!! Managed to get a pink one so was chuffed with that. Got her some games like pop up pirate and buckaroo and she was after belles dress from the Disney shop so got the one with the big hoop skirt and velvet cape.
Need to get stocking fillers but am only going to the likes of b&m for those. It's really hard to know when to stop but at there age they dont care! I was going to get her a doll and pram as well but stopped myself she can have one for her birthday, she's 4 in may so she can wait!
Has your DD asked for anything inparticular or does she ask for EVERYTHING like my DD!!

Stuck at eBay but after these bits sell I'm giving it a rest until after Xmas

LianneH

my DD is only just about to turn 3, and one day she told me she was writing to santa. So I asked what was on her list, and I've made sure I got them all. She said stuff like an ironing board, a dolly and nice clothes! Got some other stuff too, like an easel for paints n chalk and dora stuff with my tesco points!! Her birthday is 1st Jan so she will end up with loads then too, its just this guilt thing i always seem to feel - daft really!

well done on the ebay... im going to get stuck into it after the new year!

The guilts terrible I know, but as outsiders looking in our kids are probably spoilt!
I forgot to ask how blackpool was, did you have fun.

This morning in need to go post office and return shoes, yesterday I wrote a letter of complaint about the 1100.00 debt farce, it's 3 sides of a4 and Ive still more points to add. Monday i will lodge a formal complaint and email it to the chief exec!
