    Morning and just had a read of your thread and wish you well - must be very hard going for you especially no gas heating on with 2 little ones - don't know how you do it. Just one thing from your SOA that I noticed - your water bill is really high for a monthly charge is that correct?

    Trust me - saw your April SOA comment - you must be catching up from previous times so sorry for asking the question.

    Hiya, I'm enjoying your diary, perhaps I should start one too.

    May I ask an eBay question>
    In the past I've sold a few items but that was more to get rid of them and less to make money (!) so when you get a sale, it goes into your paypal account, yes? Is there a way to get it from your paypal and into your bank account? (I've usually just left it thee and spent it on something else via ebay you see)
    Our LBM: Dec 2011. DMP started: Jan 2012. Debt at LBM: £41,568

    Oct 2012 = Current debt: £40,548.93
    Oct 2013 = Current debt: £39.054.70

    hi sazi :wave: do u ever think you over do it lol

    blushingrose you can add a bank to your paypal and transfer it out, it takes 3-5 working days or you can pay extra for the next day, alot of shops take paypal now like approved foods, superdrug and boots if you wanted to spend it on something sensible tho :money:
    DEC GC £463.67/£450
    EF- £110/COLOR]/£1000
