Great news on the ebaying! Hope it goes well for you.

With the cds, have you checked what price they might get on ama$on? I listed anything worth £2.50 or more there, then music magpied the rest.

Thanks museumworker, i havn't got many to get rid of so might check where is best for them. Got some dvd's too i think so might look at play as well.

Good news...item #2 now has 2 watchers...here's hoping for a bidding war frenzy:)

Have a good day all.

Well i'm music magpieing the CD collection. I don't think i've listened to a CD in over a year, if i want music i go to the internet, or, the MP3 so what's the point in keeping the CD's and having to dust them every week...who am i kidding, i never dust them:)

Well the grand total is...

ecoelle

...£30.51:)

ecoelle

Item #1 4 watchers 3 bids
Item #2 1 watcher
Item #3 3 watchers 1 bid
Item #5 7 watchers 9 bids
Item #8 2 watcher

So 3 will sell making at least £9, added to the CD money, £39.51 added to already got makes £47 so only another £9 to find:)

Just remembered that work owe me expenses for driving to another store for training, so i'm due £12 back in petrol money:) plus i have to go on another course next week and i'll get another £6 petrol cost back:) it doesn't cost me anywhere near that in petrol so i'm going to use this to bump up the OP pot.

Hubby is really pleased about the CD money and has said he thinks he'll have a look through his DVD's at the weekend. He's starting to see how it all works now:)

Well, just applied for the Halifax rewards acc for the £5 per month. Hop ei get accepted. If i do then i'm going to apply for one for hubby and then a joint one for us too:) £15 a month x 12 = £180 per year for moving money around

Morning all, well little one has a new tooth so that explains all the moaning through last night, she did however sleep til half 8 this morning and has now gone up for a nap, so can't complain. I've done the washing up, 1 wash load and made the shopping list, i'm going back to meal planning for the week so that my shopping actually lasts and the money stretches that bit further.

I usually set a limit of £40 for the week going Thursday-Thursday as i get paid every 4 weeks and pay day is next Thursday. I'm hoping that by keeping a bit more of a hold on the weekly spend i might be able to have a bit more left over at the end of the month than we have at the moment.

This month we have a couple of big CC bills as we had to buy baby a new car seat and also there . were some big shops before we went on holiday. Once they are cleared i will be so pleased, i hate it when we owe money on them, even though there is no interest i still can't abide owing them money

up to £12.38 now on ebay and 48 hours still to go on most of the auctions:) after fees it'll be about £11 won't it? so that's good news. Chased up on the pet insurance claim today, they are saying they've not received it yet from the vets but the vets say they have def sent it so hopefully it will be with them soon and then the cheque should be winging it's way to us:) another £58 back in the account. It'll help with the cc bill too. Shopping done now and having fried vegetable rice with tofu, and, sweetcorn fritters for tea.
