Hi everyone

Been a bit AWOL lately, DH took me to Edinburgh for a nice break away during half term. Kids were dropped off at nan's so we had a nice bit of 'us' time for a couple of days. Edinburgh is so pretty !

I've managed to get my old job back, but in a management capacity so wages will go up quite a bit :j. So, Florida is definitely within reach, I was getting a tad worried about trying to save on what I earn currently, but now it looks like we'll be able to save all the extra I earn :T.

I'll pop on later and update totals

JulieGeorgiana

Yay you!!!!! Congrats on the new job

Glad to hear you enjoyed your break xxx

But since I found this out DH got a small bonus at work... and it only just covered this extra cost

Hi all

Just popping in to say hello. I am still ebaying away slowly but surely. Total savings are up to about £1250. I still have lots of ebaying to go though, just all takes time. I have sold most of the big items so what's left are smaller items selling for only £1-£2 a time so lots of work for only a few pennies at a time!
I have also got a cheque through from musicmagpie for £10 and an expenses check which will go into the savings pot, when I get around to banking them!

I haven't updated sig info so will leave that for another day. Kids are poorly and I think I have it too now, so off to bed in a minute before they wake back up!

Hope you feel better soon MummyEm... I know i'm coming down with something too... Blah!

Thanks JG. We are finally all healthy again!
Total are up to around £1350.00 now so very happy, just need to keep it up. I should be on track for the halfway mark but this does include a tax rebate so I need to up the ebaying to as need to do even better in the next 6 months.

I have 30 items listed on ebay currently, 5 of which have bids on. A couple of these are quite large items, so hoping they go for both the money and space side of things!

Hi

Could you add me to your list.

I would really like to take the family to Disney World Florida in April 2013. It has to be then because the year following year my daughter is starting her GCSE's and then for the next 5 Years its one after the other has there is only a year in between all 4 children.

I am also paying of debts so this is a big one.

I would like to have saved £8000

So far I have £2000, So we are on our way.
