Busy day today! Paid another £3 off my catalogue, also checked my online banking and my credit card payment from yesterday worked! I've transferred my odd pence into savings and popped a £2 coin in my sealed jar. 3 bids on eBay now

Hiya -
I wrote a mega long post yesterday and then the forums crashed - boooo!
Yesterday I made a £2 PAD and put some loose change in my sealed jar - hubs also listed some things on ebay, he is actually really on board with the debt busting at the moment, its so refreshing!
Today was pay day - yipee! I made a PAD to the catalogue of £1 - I also have some items that if they are not paid by december will start to incur interest so every week I pay an individual item off (luckily the catalogue itemises all buy now pay later items) so I paid a further £9.
Ebay has got some bids but to be honest I would like more
and ive also found something else to list! (nothing is safe anymore!)
Also we had a large plastic bottle which we have thrown our coppers in for some time, today my hubs noticed the bottle was damaged so we decided to empty it and bag up the money so we can throw the bottle away and it came to £50.60! not bad for 5's, 2's and 1's
Finally I had £60 more in the bank than I had bargained for, I recently did some christmas shopping online and the company had taken payment but it was also clear that the bank was holding the same amount back, so i think the company had attempted to take the money twice and realised so have released it back into my account - if that makes sense?
Anyway I am rambling now, off to catch up on other diaries xxxSnowballing my way out of debt!Catalogue [STRIKE]£1600 [/STRIKE] £1502 - Catalogue 0% [STRIKE]£900[/STRIKE] £860 - CC £2390 - OD £3500 - Family £1050 - Laptop £280.81 - Loan £3485.81 - Wescott £2814.56TOTAL OCT 12 £16021.18:eek:Member of the Sealed Pot Challenge #18400 -

Go you
£50.60 is awesome! I took £8 about a year ago and the cashier guy looked at me like I was the biggest loser ever, and said in a pitying voice 'wow, how long has it taken you to collect all this then?'

I couldnt believe it! Also a few weeks ago I took some silver out to buy some diesel and gethered £15 in 50's, 20's and 10's - so if I hadn't touched it then it would have been £65!
I have a new pot on the go as I have joined the sealed pot challenge on here! I've also transferred my oddpence again - saved just over £3 in about 4 days doing this!
Made a sale on ebay and have other items ending this weekend so will see how I get on then calculate my weekly amount!
This is a tight week as my loan comes out, so only £1 padded today but hey every little helps and all that jazz!
Im getting a tad impatient as Im not even nearly close to paying anything off, I know it will take time but I kinda wish I had a smaller debt that I could pay just to make me feel better lol Oh well I'll get there I suppose!Snowballing my way out of debt!Catalogue [STRIKE]£1600 [/STRIKE] £1502 - Catalogue 0% [STRIKE]£900[/STRIKE] £860 - CC £2390 - OD £3500 - Family £1050 - Laptop £280.81 - Loan £3485.81 - Wescott £2814.56TOTAL OCT 12 £16021.18:eek:Member of the Sealed Pot Challenge #18400 -
