Such a shame I won't be able to do a proper budget this month what with the pension not being corrected. Oh well, just plan to get through April as best I can (always tougher with the kids being off School for 2 weeks) and try my hardest to make money to flog stuff on ebay to try and pay off the final bit of the HSBC, that will be something...plus make sure none of the debt is added too, that is very important too xxx

I have to work on the Saturday 21st April (this won't hit until the May wages) but that will help towards the HSBC card if the tat doesn't sell! xxx

Managed to speak with the Pension lady and my Pension will deffo stop next month. Mmmmmmm better had! Wished they would have told me straight before.

Paid a large chunk to HSBC just now, money I had left in the account, left over Xmas money etc and all the money from the debt pot took a massive £875 quid off! Very pleased. Need to budget and a tight budget at that for April. Nowt planned (bar a night out Friday but these are soooo few and far between didn't wanna pass it up and will mkake it a cheapo one) so should be a relatively quiet one.

Think I may leave HSBC now and have this card as 'ebay only' payments going to it, make me more moticated to flog the tat! Gonna list some stuff tomorrow, may as well, would be fab if I could get rid of the card next month, leaving any left over money in the bank (will be knoooooooowhere near like the amount I paid off today mind as that was a one off, to hit the Barclaycard.

I would soooooo love to clear that card by Xmas, but that is unlikely really, gonna hit it as hard as I possibly can though xxx

Thats a fantastic amount to pay off keep up the good work, and get ebaying all those extra pennies could help clear that card by xmas

Thanks Herewego! I so hope I can clear that silly HSBC card very soon so that I can focus on the Barclaycard asap!

Was meant to stick bits on ebay on Wednesday but didn't get around to it. I have been having a long think today about the house etc and trying to get it under control and think I will seriously start to minimise what I have in here so as to make it easy to keep on top of everything. That's the plan anyway

Looking forward to tomorrow as off to see the family. Can't wait Was lucky I managed to finally find some petrol though as was on the red line and used up the last bit driving from garage to garage trying to find some. I was meant to be going out tonight but we are going to reschedule as ome people couldn't make it out until a lot later so gonna spend tonight cleaning the bathroom rather than sat on my backside thinking about oing it!!! xxx

Hello everyone,

Not been able to get online much as Emily has become addicted to some online game where she goes around trying to slay creatures etc and I can't seem to get a look in!

Money situ not been going to well. Done the same thing again, budgeted and forgot the dam loan! But at least nothing has gone on the cards so at least that is something.

I have had to buy an awful lot of petrol recently as have been too-ing and fro-ing to my dad's a lot and that is costly. Hopefully that is it for a few weeks now! He is going through a seperation and is very upset, plus he doesn't ever seem to want to come up here!

I have also had to pay out to have some work done on my back as it started to get really sore again. I had an injury last summer in a Mountain Bike race causing a LOT of dead scar tissue under the skin and I have been told that is probably making my back worse as everything is over compensating and this lump of tissue isn't helping matters so am going to bite the bullet and have that worked on too. Really don't want to but if that is then causing other issues then I really should get it sorted.

Gutted as don't think I will be able to make much of an overpayment if anything towards the HSBC card this month. Have stuck 9 items on ebay so far and will list a few more at the end of the week too. Every bit helps.

Am hoping for a mega mega cheap food shop for the next few weeks too as have spent quite a bit on food recently too.

Just been trying to do a bit of a Monthly plan for all other areas of my life as really want to become more organised. This got me back to thinking about debt and I decided to look at House Insurance prices as I pay quite a bit for the policy I have and I only got it as a long time ago when I was with my ex, he had very expensive bikes and this company were the only lot who would cover for expensive bikes!

Now that looser has left, I done a quote through Tesco who I get Pet and Car Insurance through and they have quoted less than half price! Roll on August when the renewal comes through and I will get rid! Jeez! xxx
