9 things with watchers already *claps*

Yaay! I had a load of stuff end today, all now packaged (with recycled packaging from Christmas) and hubby will be sent to Post Offoce in morning. I'm currently watching a bit of furniture that ends later this evening, it's at £26 and I'm desperate for it. I think I'll go up to £50, but no more. Send *Let R-O get the desk* vibes please! Any less than the £50 and I'll pay it off my Next card!

Have been listing this afternoon too - have already made £250 since Christmas, but think I should make another £100 witht he stuff I have listed today.

DH is currently putting together one of DS's old Star Wars lego sets - if all the bits are there its worth about a hundred pounds :eek:

Well done everybody for all the ebay sells!

I've just realised I can't find my camera battery :wall: and a new one will cost £20-25 Gonna have to search the house before I can put stuff up on ebay now, no idea where it could have gone.

Haven't even got that much to sell, just OH's xbox (and other xbox stuff - controllers, wireless adaptor, games etc.), some old clothes and dvds. I guess everything helps though!

Hmm just went to get the beans I froze the other day out of the freezer and they're frozen solid and I can't separate them. Any tips? Do people freeze in containers or bags? I might need to google this.

Hi Peeps,
Welcome to all the newbies :wave: this is a great thread for motivating you to get rid of debt.
I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself today as I am on 'clear out' ! for a colonoscopy tomorrow, but I've decided to use my time wisely and list on Fleabay even if I can't photograph today. So hopefully in a weeks time I'll have a few more pennies to throw at my debt.

ugh bless you thats not fun I had a endoscopy and a colonoscopy last year and the worst part was the evil so and so's booked it for monday morning so I had to cook a full roast dinner for the family on the sunday and sit and listen to them going mmm mmmm mmmm in the kitchen while I got to drink the clear through drink

Have you had one before?

Well done everyone!

I have parcelled up the 13 items I sold this week and just listed another 10 things. I have run out of patience now though.....still got lots of things I could put on.

On another positive note, I went in to town today with a list of some things I needed and I ONLY bought things on the list! In tesco I ONLY bought apples, pears, yoghurts, cereal bars and Quorn chicken pieces (on offer) so all slimming world compliant and my week's shopping cost me £14, so lots of my budget has gone back in the pot, which means I won't have to take out as much money next week.

Can I join this challenge for 2012.

I have tried to post in here many times .... and never had the courage to do so. Now I am on the edge of 'melt down' and need some motivation and support to carry on !:(

Total of £24k debt. No late or missed payments. No savings or assets.

You have to flat freeze, in single layers. Once they are frozen you can stick them into bags, but if you freeze in a big lump, they stay in a big lump. Ditto for raspberries, as I learnt to my peril this Summer -cue big welded lump of raspberry mush.
