It will be GONE !! Part 3

Herewego

Well for a 4 day week it was certainly a long 4 days but now its the weekend wooohhhoooooooooo

Ebay is looking great actually fantastic over £50 in bids and over 100 watchers clearly means DH is better at listing than me so with another free listing day this evening is hunt the house for things to go, oh and a huge pile of shredding if i can get through it
The extra cash is going to go straight to the cards i know what i want to make but if i can make more bring on the DFD day

No plans for the weekend so hoping to have a cheap one other than buying some extra packaging ready for sunday night :cool:

So off to start clearing and cleaning will be back later to report on my findings when i sit down to relax with a cheeky :beer:

Well a nice big box of bits for ebay and 6 black sacks and some boxes for the tip what a great feeling when you have had a good tidy up. Tidy house tidy mind if only

So if ebay sales go to plan we could drop under £19k as soon as next week I think its starting to hit that the debt is going down now and the reality is one day this year i hope it will be gone.

If only the rest of my life was so easy to sort

Oh no its Monday again, however it does mean one I have a job and two its payday woohoo
Ebay sales went well only half have paid so far but i think we have made about £180 profit so very pleased with that, and to top that off re listed the things that didnt sell plus some more so hoping next weekend a few more pennies.
Off to work but back later to report new CC balances

Have a good day all HWG x

OK so payday and yet again im not paying the full amount to my cc although i havent spent it and dont intend to just feel we need the buffer there just in case.
Payment sent to Lloyds £105 cant grumble at this though as its an over payment i have to stop knocking myself and maybe cut us a bit of slack as our budget is very very tight.
On a positive note i have been through the freezer which is desperate to be defrosted and managed to make a meal plan for the next 14 days and still have some bits left over. So shopping for the next 2 weeks will be limited to bread milk and ham for lunches and i must stick to this as im reducing my shopping pot to £50 so i cant go over and anything left is going to the cc
So £50 can i last my challenge for the next 2 weeks

Herewego

Good news we are sticking to our food plan and using up lots of things, however shopping was more than i wanted today so just means less for next week.
Glad i didnt make any overpayment the boiler broke this week :mad:and after a service and repair £300 later but thankfully we have it available.

Ive decided to try not to give myself such tough targets I know what i have to do and the debt is coming down, but im finding if i dont make the target i end up getting down and depressed about it and its hard enough staying positive these days with all the other stuff going on.
So Monday i will send a payment to Lloyds no idea how much whatever it is, its better than nothing.
Ebay is going ok again this week got about £20 in bids lets hope i get a few more by tomorrow

I think you're right, HWG. You are doing amazingly well whatever way you look at it so it's best not to set targets that leave you feeling down xx

You can do this! :j

Herewego

OK time for some positive posts what i have done today as I have had a day off

Paid £100 to LLoyds CC
Cleaned house carpets
Had the boiler fixed £217
Been training :j
Got 2 free cinema tickets in the post thanks burger chain :T
Called FOS about an old Cahoot flexi Loan nothing ventured nothing gained

Made £40 profit from ebay too keep it coming

If only everyday was as positive however i am going to try and be a bit more positive everyday I have to realise my life is not over its just begining some things are out of my control.
Beccie the trip may be happening i have been busy looking into it and its a posibility at the end of the year so long as i can get more temp work when my current job ends in 6 weeks

Kepp

Fingers crossed for more temp work Think a trip is exactly what you need xx

Herewego

Well not much to report got an interview next week so fingers crossed for that its right on my doorstep

Now to the payments payday has been and its not been as good as normal due to a boiler repair and car insurance however we have managed to get to £18010 with hopefully some more next week I cant wait to get into the £17's
Anyway a long weekend ahead and im going to visit family with my best friend so hopefully it will be cheap and relaxing and full of fun i cant wait.
