The "Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2012" challenge - PART 3!!!

Superheavy

Hey BNS,

Forget about feeling Blue, shouldn't you be in the pink with all the progress you're making?

The differences in car insurance can be huge, I know myself having been through an accident. Even changing address had a big impact on a premium too. And you're definitely not the only one who needs to lose weight....I'm in that boat too.

All the best

Todays craft fair had about 50 people attend this is really poor for a 7hr shift boo. I sold 2 large shopping tote bags, a makeup bag and a keyring for £21 altogether, but £12 had to go to the craft fair cost so I think I just about covered my materials. I did meet some lovely people though and have been invited along to a stitch and b1tch on Thursday which I shall be attending

Besides, I wouldn't have made any money had I been sat at home all day. I'm not going to be down-hearted about the lack of sales as loads of people liked my work. Instead, I've emailed the local supermarket that has stalls outside and requested a pitch for a few weekends time. I'm either a gluten for punishment, or stupid

Oh, that's a shame Kerri, do you sell on Ebay or Etsy? Or I think there's a British version of Etsy but the name escapes me at the mo

I collected my Aunt and Uncle from the Heathrow bus today in Swansea, they are over from the States for a couple of weeks visiting my mum. Anyway, mum took me to BK for a treat as we don't have one within a 50mile radius and bought my DS his face wash. In honour of this I have paid £10 to the cc, so new totals are

No 069 £4081/ £7719 = 52.86%

British Etsy might be called Folksy?

Hi Lemonpopsicle,

What a lovely thing for your Mum to do and well done for paying £10 towards the cc.
I'm starting to setup those online sites now thought I may as well make the use of my 10hr minimum shift xx

I work from home, one of our customers is upgrading their database this evening from 10pm. I'm on out of hours support and have to watch their live meeting whilst they do it in case they mess it up I'm sooo sleepy! I get paid time and a half for this though.

Hi BrandNewStart,

I'm sorry to read that even though your bank account is heading in the right direction, you're still feeling blue. We all have down days like these though and you just have to make an extra special effort to be more postive. Some days it's easier than others.

If you're fearful of a sudden unanticipated expenditure couldn't you start a little savings fund. Even something like 5.00pounds a week will soon add up and whilst it may not seem like a lot, it's like a little security blanket.

Hang on in there, it will all be worth one day.:)
