    Hi elly, yes a few of us are trying to raise an extra £300 this month - do join in and have a go! Even if you only do a smaller amount due to being part through the month :)

    Well I was £125 better off :D Probably one of my better ebay weeks.

    So I have paid off the ccard (and met my challenge target), paid my ebay fees and over paid £15 off the loan.

    So, back to no money in the bank lol. A week till pay day and hopefully will get a couple more things on ebay this weekend.

    I hope everyone has has successful sales.

    Hi jwil and friends!

    Good to hear that things are going well jwil.. A healthy happy boy sounds good news! And a puppy...oh well just don't try and move as well! That always seems to go alongside nesting and I would imagine its very stressful!

    Glad to see you're keeping up the MSE work jwil...reminds me must get some more books on Amazon..they didn't go very well last time but here's hoping this time!

  • Hi Jwil, DDFW and everyone,

    Apologies for going completely AWOL during the summer - not sure how or why it happened really. :think:

    I have been thinking of you all though and wondering how Jwil and bump are doing. :) I will spend a bit of time catching up on this thread.

    I have been totally neglecting anything to do with finances and OH still doesn't have a job but we're surviving. Need to get back on the straight and narrow though - but maybe not till next week.:D
  • WooHoo!!! PEACEANDFREEEEEDOOOOOMMMMM!! :j:j:j Lovely to have you back hon! Hope your summer was nice and PM me if you need to chat, vent etc. :) You have been missed but glad you are well and here :)

    I've been completely rubbish with my finances p&f if truth be told - i had a bit of a shopping spree last week :eek: Tried to return alot of it yesterday due to car breaking down and bringing me to my senses :( it was lovely stuff and bargainous too however brief it lasted. i need to keep a spending diary and then actually read what i am spending my money on - although i know the food shop has been costing me more than i want to spend but i'm not getting anything excessive :think:

    Hey jwil and LAM and chocs - did everyone get some stuff on the bay of e this week ? i got i think about 11 or 12 new items on and have more to list but ran out of time and energy.

    Hope everyone is well :)
