Ok. So I've listed the rest of those items, that's another 27 done now, hurrah!

You and DDFW are putting me to shame, I think it will motivate me to do SOMETHING towards ebay/amazon this weekend. In anticipation of this sell-fest, I have rashly made a payment of £100 to my Cap1 card. :eek: Now I just need to raise that money. Also need to come up with a plan for the £50 chunks, otherwise nothing much will happen.

After nearly 3 weeks of not really sticking properly to my eating plan, I now weigh 2 pounds more - so I have been honest and updated my sig and I will stick to it better from now on. I started exercising again with a vengeance this week and I know from past experience that this always tends to make me weigh more initially - I hoping for a loss next week of at least 1 pound. And boy oh boy do my legs and bum ACHE!

OK, off to do something constructive with my Saturday. See y'all later. :T

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

Aww, DDFW, sorry you are not well, it's a pain - but hang on in there, Spring is coming, the daffodils will be out and the new season will fill us all with amazing energy and oopmh. I just KNOW it. :j

I love the challenge, just need to get my act together and sort out my £50 chunks - to be honest, I've no idea where a lot of it is going to come from, need to put my thinking cap on.

Well done on the overpayment :T

You'll soon get the gain off again, especially with lots of exercise

Have a good day!

I noticed loads of daffodils out this morning :j I don't know whether they've appeared overnight or whether I'm just blind :rotfl: but it does make me think that nicer weather is on the way.

I've no idea where my challenge money is going to come from either, :think: I guess it wouldn't be a challenge if it was easy though!

DH and I have now sorted another two boxes of stuff to go. I've also photo'd another box of bits that will go on ebay next time I can be bothered.

I've decluttered a few magazines and may continue that now.

Hope everyone's having a good day

Well haven't overly achieved much, did a bit of reading, went for a walk with the hub and the dog. So all in all it's been a good day

I did put a couple more items on ebay so will upload all that later.

Hope everyone has had a good day

Terrible nights sleep = tired DDFW *yawn* - thing is i know if i go to bed early i'll just be awake for ages. Best to just soldier on i suppose

jwil - you have put me to shame too Wow! for all that listing The good thing is once they are listed once you can just re-list them if like you say they aren't something that sell straight away :T

peaceandfreedom - we will get there with the £50 chunks - well done on your overpayment

So as i say i had a *terrible* nights sleep But had promised my mum i'd pick her up early to take her to a carboot with me - if i'd been going alone i probably wouldn't have gone. Anywho's got out there early-ish and picked up some fab bargains which is good as there were only about 6 stalls :eek: Just started to relax after getting home and then read about Mr T's sale - off out again :eek: nabbed myself some boots - just 50p a pair :j:j:j

Back home and am shattered again. So sorry i've not popped the 20 list up but i really am that tired

Today though i got an extra £38.47 in from sales - this is the profit amount But i used some of this for my new pairs of boots and the rest will be going to the first credit card bill where i need to get the minimum payment together after leaving myself short this month :eek:

DedicatedDFW

oops - so tired posted that early

hope you are all having a good weekend x

Howdy everyone, I hope you are all well

I had a lovely relaxing day yesterday, pretty much read for the whole day which means I have now decluttered some books

I also decluttered some ingredients into cake and cookies Of which I have now decluttered some of those into my tummy

Today my loan and course fees have come out which means a hefty payment of over £400. I also managed to squeeze £7 towards this challenge = £17/£1000 - £983 to go.

So good to hear that you had a nice relaxing day yesterday i thought i'd bake some biscuits to distract myself from the need to make money - if that makes sense? But had no butter to do so d'oh! :rotfl:

A huge huge payment there jwil :T And decluttering of books - excellenty

I've just realised its mothers day in 2weeks - you know when you're aware of something but it doesn't really register that its 2weeks away! So will need to look out for something for that too :cool:
