Happy Monday all and well done to everyone eBaying... I listed 15 items yesterday, the most I've ever done in one sitting and still more to do next weekend took me all Sunday, soooo boring! Hoping it was worth it:rotfl:

Update from me as a DD has gone out to my credit card. I'm on track for debt free by Easter too!:D

Well done everyone on fleabaying and payments. I was off at the weekend again on silly long bike ride to Exmoor and back. Pay day on Friday, can't wait!!! Almost finished with this long old debt journey.

*wails* my baby has abandoned me! Not a tear in sight as she left me for her first day of school :eek: ok she did come back for one last cuddle as I was going out the door (more than I got off her brother who if I remember correctly was trying to run off as I kissed him goodbye :rotfl:)
Theres me in the car on the way home mulling over my empty nest, DH on the other hand cant contain his glee at being child free :eek: MEN! :rotfl:
Only 1hr and 6 minutes before I go pick her up (not that im counting or anything ) Then I get to do it all over again tomorrow!
DH is still very adamant that there will be no more eggs in my nest . . . . ever! Do you think he's starting to waiver? :rotfl:

Lol J-M. My baby went off to secondary school last week without a backward glance.:( She wouldn't even let me drop her off so she went with her friends "much cooler mum".
DH has never wavered on more kids, so after 11 years of waiting, my pram is now on ebay. DH cannot contain his glee either....:mad:

Well, an update on the challenge from me! I have paid another £500 towards Mr Branstons card - one of my 0% deals runs out in October so thats my first priority at the mo.

15 items listed on ebay, 4 listed on fb too (bigger stuff that I CBA to post). And one bid already (only 99p, but every little helps!)

I haven't had a chance to read the thread much over the last couple of days but well done to anyone who has made payments.

Just popped in to say I've paid that £100 I made on fleabay off the credit card and updated my totals.

#343 £13613.33 / £18213.33

Savings and £2 pot have taken a nosedive but I don't mind about that because they are now in Euros and sitting with my passport waiting for me to go to Madeira in one week exactly.:j

Mr Bonglecat is still not smoking 2 weeks down and going great guns!! I also found out his secret he just told himself that he is a non-smoker, so he can see people smoking and the cigs on sale and just think "they have no relevance to me as I don't smoke". I thought this was interesting as opposed to "I gave up smoking" weird huh?

Brilliant news on the 'non smoker DH' Bonglecat. Just think how many pennies he's saved :money:

We worked it out on as an average of 30 a day (more on weekends, less on weekdays) so with his cigs at £7.49 a pack, that's 10 or 11 packs a week around £82 so for a month we are talking nearly :eek:£400 :eek:
