    Here I come Ebay, watch yourself ;)

    I have a few things to sell. Listed 1 so far. Hopefully make a few £'s to put towards the credit card. The items are things I was given/bought in the sale last Christmas but are not to my taste. 8 months of sitting in a drawer, think it's time for a spring clean.

    The shower has suddenly gone from working fine to a trickle of water ! I have no idea of the cause, no money to fix it if it is something major anyway :(

    On a brighter note !

    8 items listed on Ebay.
    2 items have bids.
    5 of the 8 items have multiple watchers, hopefully that is a good sign that they will sell.

    Payment made to double glazing including slight over payment. Balance approx £2511.
  • Hi claire,

    Just read through your diary you are doing so well. Hopefully I will be in your situation in a few months. It must feel so good not being at the end of your limits. :0) xx

    Thank you Hannah !

    Well I am still in my overdraft most of the time but I am working on getting this paid off.

    Have you tried the payment a day challenge ? I find seeing the balance coming down regularly instead of one lump sum more of a boost.
  • :eek: i hope the shower is not expensive to fix, could it just be the water pressure slightly down? (not sure how to fix that though lol) i google everything now and try to fix it myself before handing money over :p

    Well done on the over payments and glad you had a good birthday xx

    Thank you. Ye I had a google at what it could be. I'm hoping it is just the pressure and it'll magically fix it's self later on.

    Things are hotting up on ebay, one item up to £2.20 ;) Hoping to make at least £15 on the items, not much but that is one drawer free of things I wasn't going to use.
  • i've been having a clear-out for years, but it was usually the kids stuff that got first cull ;) and just recently i decided there was no way (without lipo & a tummy tuck) that i was going to fit into my size 8's anymore lol so have sold lots. Some have only gone for 99p which was gutting as they were favourites but at the same time they were just taking up space and i was never going to wear them again!!
