    Victoria I am signing up to the sealed tin challenge - and I am going to use the money to pay off my overdraft. Overdrafts are the worse as you just end up living in them!

    So I have spent the evening listing things on ebay - I still have some things to list but I am so tired I can't face anymore! I have 29 items listed at the moment though :-O fingers crossed I make some sales!

    Well im off to bed now to dream of a debt free life before getting up for work in the morning lol

    Night Everyone xx

    Ok, I had to add one more item as my OCD would not allow me to leave my list at 29! so I now have 30 (a nice round number) items listed!

    So, not much to update today I don't think.

    I've been to work today, while there I managed to get my hands on an old coffee jar which I bought home and will be using as my sealed jar. Its funny really as I found myself being extra vigilant today looking for spare change on the floor to put in my jar lol unfortuantley I didn't find any (typical!)

    Also popped to tesco today for some dumpling mix, was just about to take aunt bessies for 79p and switched to the tesco brand which was 55p - 'only' 24p difference but hey I figure its the small things right?

    So i am just going to pop over to my catalogue and make a payment!

    Hope everyone else is doing OK today xxx
