Woohoo! More bids on eBay than expected, brings my new total for debt 3 to 18% :j wonder if I can reach 25% before month end? Going to have to come from sales as we are pretty skint ATM. Though feeling optimistic

Didn't list any more stuff today on eBay but hoping to list some tomorrow! Onwards and upwards!

Hi all, been away for a week with no access to computer. I'm not quite sure if I was given a number?? I have read back a few pages but cant seem to find it. If the organiser could remind me of it I would be greatly appreciated.

I have one item on ebay, I am hoping it will make £30 which will be my first 1%, ends on Tuesday.

I have a bad feeling though that I will have to use my CC this month as I only have £80 until payday which is month end, I have a full tank of petrol, I have nearly enough food for the month, however, I have a friends bday on Wed and they all want to go out for drinks :-(

I really hope my item makes £30, as that will be the only extra payment I can make to my debts!!!

Hi all,

Well I am on course to have a NSD today and I also had one yesterday so that should be another £10 to add to the pot :j- however things are a bit tight this month so may not be able to transfer until end of month

Hi all.

11 things listed on Ebay this afternoon with more to hopefully follow tonight!

Bought a few bits on Ebay for myself with some pp funds (not going to affect my 18%) as a treat as have avoided the sales and just used my £30 next voucher from Xmas. I bought 2 trousers to slim into (they just do up) and a jumper, returning 1 top, so will have £13 left still, think im going to buy a few majorly reduced items and pop them on ebay next free listings and see if i can make a profit

Hoping for a very frugal week this week to enable us to keep on target doing some batch cooking today to try and make sure we use oven less and less chance of ordering takeaway or nipping to the shop for X and spending a fortune on other stuff!

30 new items listed on ebay this weekend, and 20 re-lists. Really hoping for some good sales, got quite a few watchers already :j

My MIL transferred a gift of £1000 today as she had a decent payout for a compensation claim so that has gone straight to the credit card - #164 now at 32.5% made and paid! That last 11% really does feel a bit of a cheat!!

Have agreed to sell a batch of academic books to a friend for £120, but she doesn't get paid until the end of the month, so can't count that just yet.

Does anybody else now really look forward to their "budget day"!? I do my balances on the last day of the month, and I spend a good chunk of the month looking forward to it - such a nice feeling to see the totals go down for the debt section

Hope you've all had a good MSE weekend.

39 things listed in total today :j hope to make a few sales out of them! Bed time now zzzz

couldsavemore_2

been having a good clear out and now have a pile of things to sell on e- bay. also have been sorting through all my jewellery and have some gold bits to sell.

through all the other challenges I have managed tosave so much money this month so far but am leaving that in bank at moment until end of month because of our overdraft. then i will decide how much i will pay of credit card. hoping it will be quite a bit

concentrating on clearing house and cutting down on spending then next month will start trying to make extra money. have a little craft idea that could bring in a little so will see how that goes.

was hoping that we would have so much snow i could have a day of but its only just covering the ground . so must go and get ready have a good day everyone and keep warm.
