    Morning All, So Monday is here and yep you guessed it so is the rain :D.
    Anyway quite a bit to report for the weekend actually, not major events but a few steps closer..
    Friday - Got send a cheque from an old company I worked for from the Christmas club I used to belong too - so that was a nice £30.0 I was not expecting. Will be straight in the bank this week - and another little payment made :T. Actually listed some items on ebay and have sold some another £15.00 I wasn't expecting - so another payment once I have posted the said items :T. Total £45.00 to debt.:j
    Then had a call over weekend from someone ( agency) who may have a job for me - sounds exciting closer to home, ( ie about 30 miles aways - so more than half the distance less and more money - so we will wait and see about that).:T
    Then that's where the good news start slipping :rotfl: NSD achieved on Friday and Saturday - then Sunday took family to lunch - wasn't home or i would of cooked. But was really nice, and we do not meet up often.And today will need to do some shopping or we will be in competition with the pets for thier food :rotfl: Which I do not think we have reached yet..Anyway once today's spends are out of the way I should be back on track for some more NSD's this week ..but so far 4/5 so not so bad really...
    I have also updated one of the CC's as the payment came out and the other payments are due this week - so it will be nice to see it all coming down again..
    Anyway must dash work is a calling... have a good Day xx

    Morning All - Well Tuesday and we have no rain ( for the next 10 mins probably anyway)
    Not a lot to report for a Monday - work was busy as per usual. I did all my shopping in my lunchbreak so no NSD for me- but I knew that was going to happen - spent much more than i intended to, but I did get a couple of boxes of Surf which were on special at Mr T's for £2.85 a box. Also stock up on the cats - Felix on special offer too..and some other cleaning items..I am stocked up on the household things I reckon until October which is good..So planning on an NSD today.
    Need to try and get to the bank today and pay the cheque in, as its not doing any good in my handbag..lol
    Anyway update is NSD 4/6. Have a great day x

    Fae - I wish my debts would be cleared off faster but I think 2015 ( end of ) If I am really lucky! But at least I am focussing on the end result

  • Morning Aamberle!

    The NSDs are brilliant! Well done you. I lost my mojo with ebay after the 1st flurry and excitement of getting money for my old tat! Need to get it back tho cos we're sitting on a goldmine with all the rubbish in the study that we don't use and I'm sure people would go mad over on fleabay.

    All the extra payments, no matter how small, still knock some pennies off that final figure so keep on going!

    Focusing on the end result is great, means you are going in the right direction, and as mummydrusilla says, it's suprising how much the small amounts add up, and make a difference, so you never know :D

    Good luck on the NSD

    Morning All, So Tuesday is here - cant believe its been a week since my last posting.
    Listed some items on ebay and made £50.00 over the weekend - so not too shabby. Still have a few bits on that will finish this week. no bids yet, but you never know. Off to update signature, as I have had several payments go out recently and I always feel better when I see my debt moving downwards..lol.
    Hope you all have a good day xx
