    Well a busy weekend and I have been onto money making not as much as i would have liked as normal daily life just seems to get in the way sometimes.
    Items listed on ebay and more to go on after a massive sort out but i have watchers already so hopefully some money there. I have also managed to sell some shelf units to a friend hoping for £100 but not discussed that bit yet shes in more debt than me but I cant give them away slight dilemma there.
    Also more good news I have got myself a part time job hours to suit me going to have a good look at what needs doing at the weekend so I can start after my holiday even if its an extra £20 a week its money for the debt.
    There is so much i want to do but not enough hours in the day along with not sleeping much at night is leaving me more than drained.
    I still need to get my holiday money not that i need much but it means less for the debt :o
    So its monday again and off to work im sure its going to be a quiet one so i need to get my pen to paper and continue with my debt paying plans
    MARCH 2016 DEBT £25750/ £25035

    My maths is rubbish but it looks like you've paid 90% of your debt off. You've come so far!

    Enjoy the holiday and treat yourself on it, life is short and you need the break.

    Well done HWG :)

    Well its been a while had a great holiday but since coming back a few set backs incuding a leak upstairs a broken oven and driving lessons for DS hence very little has come off the debt :o
    However after my DH has now announced he is moving out more effort needs to be on the last bit of debt as i wont cope with it all on my own.
    So where do i go from here 64 sleeps until xmas and i have almost completed all my xmas shopping i think £100 will complete everything.
    Now the plans for the rest of the debt there is just under £5k to clear and i think with some added effort this could be gone by xmas but i need to focus on ebay and clearing the house now. I need a new start and im sure there are many things that can go in preparation for a new start just need to be strong and let go of the past :(
    I must try and update everyday like i did at the start of my journey just so i stay on the straight and narrow.
    So today i have claimed my free £25 from confused motor mate thanks to another mse diary. I have also paid something off a CC that i bought for my mum and she paid me cash the more recent me would have blown the cash.
    So for the rest of the week i must get onto ebay also pay some coin into the bank for the CC and i think a new budget should be drawn up this last one will be a job for tomorrow to start things off.
    Im off work tomorrow afternoon awaiting delivery of my new oven so along with cleaning ebay listing too and sorting some more cupboard i should be well on the way to busting this last bit of debt, wish me luck

    So quite a productive day with a few small issues, house it looking cleaner than it has in months thanks to waiting in for the new oven. Slight issue no cable and plug on the oven so need an electritian to fit sorted a friend to come in a few days hoping it wont cost too much.
    Ive also re-listed 25 items on ebay was hoping to list some more but just couldnt quite clear the to do list maybe i was a little ambitious.
    Ive also phoned and cancelled a CC that had 29.9% interest on it there isnt a balance so dont see the point in keeping it just in case nothing will require interest that high !!
    So a frugal meal made from the store cupboard on the hob of course saving the need for another take away
    Still need to meal plan for the rest of the week plus i want to clear the freezer defrost it and prepare for winter :-)

    Hi PWD
    Yes the house will be sold but not for a couple of years if nothing else its still an investment for us both plus we want the stability for our DS while hes taking his A levels. Im pleased that we are keeping it for now as im not sure i could cope with the stress of selling the house and a move been a tough year so far

    What a strange day !!
    Lots happening at work with a potential for me to move areas and possibly take on more work in a different area, this will take a few weeks to progress so on the back burner for now but certainly something to think about before i sign into a contract in the next week or two. Im still with the agency as my permanent contract is still being written im also hoping for a small payrise when i change over as they wont have to pay agency fees anymore. Im in quite a good position as i process the agency invoices and i know what they are charging for me.
    Second good news of the day i have managed to sell some items which i was going to put on ebay just happened to be in the right place at the right time should net me £200-£300 hopefully they will collect sunday :T
    Third item been asked to work for somebody part time may only be £30 a week but hey every little helps :D
    Ive not paid anything to the CC today but hoping to pay £200 in the morning.

    Im tired and need sleep but im just buzzing tonight nice to have something go right for a change :j:j
