    Good luck with ebay. I've found it tough this last few times. Fingers crossed for you :)

    Thanks HAW - I have also founf things slow on ebay at the minute - but every bit counts and also helps me declutter the house! Its a free listing day this weekend - although I am staying at a friends I might try and take a few pictures, get them on the computer and load them while I am at hers.

    Another small amount to cc this morning - wont be much more until payday next week as had a rather unexpected and bloomin expensive trip to the dentist yesterday :(

    right, another rainy monday but another small payment towards CC today.

    Managed to only spend £20 n take away at the weekend and nothing else :) also - although painful! managed to get somethings on ebay and even have a bid on one piece already so fingers crossed they all sell for loads of money that I can pay towards my credit card!

    morning all, Pay Day here so I have made some extra payments to credit cards.

    1st day of the new budget - i know we pain stakingly worked it all out but now, being pay day and having looked at the account it is only really hitting home how tight things are going to be! must stay strong as it will be worth it when we don't have to pay out £100's every months on debts!

    right after a couple of weeks of madness and no internet access I'm backon track.

    Made a small payment today to CC meaning I have paid off 10% of my debt and am now under £9K :) feels good - can't wait for payday to be able to pay off some more!!
