optimistic-mummy

have updated my signiture to keep me on track and have had interest in one of my ebay items ... also made £5 so that covers LO's coat very happy today x

optimistic-mummy

DP has made £5 too. so that's gone in the 'money made' jar. it will be paid into the bank when im next in town to pay off the credit card. x
im setting myself a challenge to make £5 a day between today and the end of next year 31/12/13. so that's a grand total of £2358.00. this will be a real challenge as i don't think i have much left to sell, better start looking.

have listed 6 items on n*tm*ms....
i have 10 items currently on eBay ...
1 item on FB
and 8 items on gumtree

Made another payment of £15.00 to the credit card. have updated signature. xx

ok so im going to set us a target to have the credit card below £1000 by 22nd of October. x

i've has £30 of unnecessary spends this week, we brought a pizza last night and i brought LO a hamster yesterday. the hamster is great LO loves it so far so was worth the £20. put the pizza wasn't needed as i have food in the freezers. i need to pop to the supermarket later and get a few things for LO's lunch box. will only get what i need. which is just some fruit and i also need some veg. and crisps and choc bars.
Made £46.80 on eBay sales after, postage costs :T
