Good morning everyone. What small step on your Debt Free journey will you be making today?

I have just bought a much needed printer cartridge through quidco, earning me £8 back eventually.

I am also updating my snowball calculator today to see if there is any chance of me being ahead of myself!

2 more parcels to post for ebay sales - a little more in the olympic challenge pot! Therefore, I had better get a couple more things listed!

Have a good day :cool:

Take lunch to work. Not use the vending machine in work.

Small things I know but it all adds up!

I've got some small CD parcels to send to friends today, so won't be a no spend day here (cos one's going to spain), but it occurred to me that I have loads of film rental return envelopes from my monthly service, and I remember reading somewhere on this board that you can readdress prepaid envelopes and use them as normal. Anyone else done this?

We're doing quite a lot today...

Putting my wedding dress up for sale on a website.
Putting 10 items on ebay (we have a target for 10 items a day). Got 73 online at the moment.
And hubby is going to phone his loan companies to find out if he can change the repayments to be 4 weekly (so they come out right after he gets paid) as opposed to monthly. I think this will help him manage things a little better.

My day didn't start well - my OH has over-filled my car with oil, so it looks likely I am off the road for a couple of days until I can get it seen by a local garage on Friday, so I am at home for the next couple of days, so I can concentrate on my DFW targets!

1) Phone MBNA and see if they will give me a 0% deal - if not, I will cancel the card and investigate an alternative.
2) Send off letter to Halifax cancelling cc (cancelled a year ago, but they have sent me a new card for no reason!)
3) Keep an eye on the bidding on eBay - have put two chandeliers on ebay currently at £62 that end tonight. These were in my inlaws' house when they moved in - they didn't believe anyone would want them! We are splitting proceeds.

The best way is to look at other items that are similar to yours. If you're selling a mobile phone for example, look at the postage costs for other mobile phones and take an average. Normally you can make a slight profit from the postage.
