Morning All! Hope everyone is well - What is going on with the weather? there was not forecast for it and still the snow arrives. Supposed to be more on Friday and then warm up! Let's hope so, it is blinking freezing.Brrrr.
Anyway not much to report today - DH is still away and back Sat hopefully, so I have been very good doing HW, reading and generally sorting ( mainly in my head) how we move through to clear these debts.
As you can guess i quite like a plan
. infact DH thinks I am a little strange as I do not seem to function without one. But hey it's working . We are getting through the debts. Anyway think the weekend I am going to gather a few more things together to be sold and then next week list some more..have done well this week - made nearly £60 and still have a couple of items to finish tomorrow. So once they have finished if they do sell, well maybe £65 all in. Not bad for a weeks work :rotfl: Also no C Tax for a couple of months so thats going straight on the CC - so should hopefully be under the £2k by early Feb on the next CC which will be very nice.Then its a going to be a real battle of dedication to clear the next one! So I will break it down into bits i think - but hey I will worry about that once this one has cleared through.
I will aslo update signature at the end of the month, as I think i may be in the next £k but we will see.
Anyway have a great day xx2012 The year I started dealing with my debts.
2017. Lets start this again shall we?

Morning - It's Friday :j:j:j. So things happening today.
Pay Money from sales to CC - Done was £80.:T
Go to work and move desks again -
This is move number 4 in as many weeks.
Pack up rest of sales finishing today, take to work just incase paid by lunchtime.
Be thankful only 6 days to pay-day - Done and very very thankful
Try to be home, before the next lot of bad weather hits - Cant promise that one :rotfl:
So as you can see loads today to do, on top of everything else the day generally brings.The weekend will be visiting family ( subject to weather), housework and planning/sorting my next set of "goodies" to the world of e.
Hope everyone is good - have a great day xx2012 The year I started dealing with my debts.

Morning - Jus a little post today. just to say hello and I have just paid another little amount to CC - i need to raise just over £2k over next few months and another debt is gone..wahoo. So think I need to sort my sales game plan out - as I want this done by April. A tough ride ahead, but I think with a ruthless wardrobe, sort out, sales and a really frugal couple of months we should be at least almost there..lol. Obviously with my last ever bonus payment due this mont which should give it a boost. Blimey without that I would be looking at much more in the distance..
Anyway sun is shining, washing is on and I have a house to clean. - It always looks much worse when the sun is shining.
Have a great day xx2012 The year I started dealing with my debts.

Tired just reading how busy you've been :rotfl:Well done on clearing another card, that's a massive step closer.
Oh and for what it's worth the course sounds like a brilliant idea to me, self improvement is rarely a bad thing!

Morning - so a few weeks since I have posted, although it feels much longer. Amazing how attached you can get to something
. So I have not been around, as usual there has been far too much going on that I don't know where to start.So will keep it very short so when I look back it will remind me where I am in life..Family member been very ill and been travelling up to hospital every night. They have since been released, but taken back in yesterday but hoping its just or a couple of days maximum.This has meant not getting home until after 10pm so have just gone straight to bed. this has meant diet out the window, as not had the energy or the inclination to think about anything other then eating because i am hungry or just for the sake of it - I have gone through both ends of the spectrum really but hey ho, hoping after some R and R at the weekend I can at least change a little.DH also been off sick and so have been sorting him also..:D Am also now actively looking for alternate employment, cant say too much but the new regime is definately not me. And then to top it all I have not really been focussing in MSE - Nothing major but no additional payments to cards, no listings etc..I will sort this but need to get my head straight first. So may leave this until March and focus then we will see..Anyway thats about it for my life over the last few weeks - I would love to say been away somewhere hot, won the lottery or something as exciting but alas no my reality is not as exciting. :rotfl:
Anyway hope everyone is well and I will try to get in the habit of updating more often again, as it really does help having somewhere to write your ramblings down...lol. Anyway hi ho hi ho its off to work I go.
Take Care and have a good day xx2012 The year I started dealing with my debts.
