Cheers Skinty and beanie will pop up in the morning and post it off... Another one sold so a tiny bit more space available
I tell ya this gutting the house of stuff we no longer need or want is quite therapeutic, ill always remember the day when we got broke into and the feeling that it didn't bother me too much ( dealing with the insurance was a different matter of course ) I remember walking around and looking at things and asking myself if I would've been upset if they were stolen ... Not once was I thinking yes ... I honestly remember feeling very free that day, I felt I had turned a corner, and ill be honest I havn't purchased much since ... This is a similar feeling tbh ... And I like it0 -
Managed to get rid of the last of the DVDs for £16 today so that's £8 for debt repayment and £8 for heating plans
Still have loads of cd's etc to get rid of but that's a good bit done, have posted the book as well so that's another thing ticked off, ordered the blind, it came to £42 so we have £8 spare from there, will be keeping that though for fun money,
Went shopping again in aldi and spent £17 then had to nip to asda for a few things aldi didn't have and spent £8 on 6 items, I can see us shopping in aldi from now in and just supplementing our food shopping with asda ... They had tins of mushy peas for 8p not that I buy tinned peas but I was flabbergasted at the price tbh
That's about all I have to report for now .. Mr el will be making tablet for our visit from a certain mse sheep and his flock tomorrow so I will do my best not to eat it all
Oh ... I did have some Tilly tidies, they came to £1.46 all together so that's another wee bit off the debt0 -
have put the first thing on ebay ( free listing weekend)
still have more things to go on but i am not sure if we will have the time to get it all done this month ... if not there is always next month
edited to add: five things on ebay all together ... fingers crossed they sell ... if not i will put them back on next month0 -
