Morning everyone
In the interests of having a few days off, I have listed 7 items ready for the next FLW.
I sold a couple of items yesterday and one has paid up so that will be posted today :T"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -

Hi all
Just wanted to say i am around and will get that list of 20 x £50 up to the full 20 but was quite ill last night and for the last few days and still feeling a bit _pale_ - these challenges are something i used to set myself regularly and made a major difference in my debt reduction - even if i didn't hit the full £1000 off 1 debt the debt went down more than when i have just tried to reduce it without a specific plan
I am so impatient to get target 3 paid off by the end of April :whistle: That I will be pushing myself with these goals and as we all share ideas hopefully it'll get easier for all of us
I do however have £120 or £130 to find to cover my minimum payments to my 2 other credit cards this month - i was so determined to clear my overdraft yesterday i knowingly left myself this shortfall. I had £3 profit arrive in my account today so will save that for the £120+ and i have a couple of things with bids on on eb*y - hope alot more sell as that will be a huge help to meThese all end in the next week so lets hope for more bids (there's no reserves
) and prompt payers
So to the £1000
This weekend i will be spending a shortish amount of time listing newly listed items on the bay of e - maximum time 1 hour from start to finishI don't think its free listing but agree with jwil - even if its stuff i have to pay to list not to worry as there really is such alot more things listed on the free days.
I'll be spending no more than 10 minutes on the free bingo - please let me be lucky
i'll be spending 20minutes completing a MS i picked up only because its a target i set myself on this challenge :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I'll be sure to check for more MS's too
I'll be watching stuff on netflix
I'll not be doing any more food shopping as there is plenty inCC1:T £[STRIKE]2531[/STRIKE] £1460MORTGAGE OVERPAYMENTS: £10575.20 Target £12,100MF Date: [STRIKE]August 2042[/STRIKE] May 2035Declutter 1000 things by Xmas 2015! 53/10000 -

Sorry you weren't feeling too well again DDFW, hope you feel better soon xx
I might be watching stuff on Netflix tooand I have a book to finish reading
You have however DDFW through your challenge encouraged me to get off my rear and do some stuff so thank you :kisses3: I am going to list a few more items now, and today have sent off two complaint letters which i've been meaning to do.
Hope everyone else is groovy :cool:"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
Oh, I have just discovered that I can get my cat's stupidly expensive exploding biscuits on amazon :T :T They are cheaper than the vet and also saves me a trip into town too :T So I have ordered some and paid for them out of my voucher balance :j
I'm very pleased about that, and ought to send the cash to target 1, but I didn't have it set aside, so will have to try and do that later in the month I think.
It's a bit depressing to think I have to do all these surveys to keep my cat in biscuits :rotfl:"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
Morning everyone, happy weekend! :T
Not sure what the plans are for today, I haven't decided what I'm up to yet.
Hope everyone has a good one"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
Oh, I listed 54 items on ebay last night as well as the 7 items I'd done in the morning :T :T :T
I've got about 30 similar things left, so I may try and get them listed too. They are magazine type things which do sell, but I only sell them here and there, it's not a quick money maker. It will be another box cleared though :T :T"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Ok. So I've listed the rest of those items, that's another 27 done now, hurrah!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0
