    Xmas Saver!
    sounds like some good planning going on there, good luck with the ebaying, I should have a root around, but got a few bits from last week still going, so will have to a look for next weekend,

    My bargain - brought a dress brnad new 25p, catalogue surplus, - the plan was to slim into !! 2 yrs later dress still as tags, - gone up to £10.. still got 2 days left.

    Hope you find some pennies, - know when dad walks the dog, he says by shops, newsagents etc are pretty good for odd change on the floor! xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx
  • Thanks mum2one - what a fab profit on the dress! I'm def more vigilant for loose change at the moment when out and about! Xx

  • So a lazy ish day here today. After a family day out yesterday we're staying in today. I am going to attempt to declutter our bedroom - who knows what little treasures I may find in the process!

    I have some spreadsheets from previous, I'm thinking of writing them all out again and updating as appropriate. I mentioned before i had been on MSE previously and yesterday I decided to look up my old diary! It was quite motivating, I have actually settled 7 debts since my original LBM! Altho one thing that shocked me was the catalogue that I am working to pay off at the moment I had got the balance down to £99 - 2 years ago! :-O just shows I need to stay focused! Xx

  • Hope you find some treasures :)
    Im sure you will stay motivated this time :)
    Have a great day at home :)
  • Oooooooooh a treasure hunt!!

    Haha I do that every other month or so & its amazing what you find that you have forgotton about.

    No more debt busting for me until payday.

    Dxxx
  • Well my decluttering didn't go as planned.. As ended up stripping wall paper instead! Woops! My ebay items end tonight - two have gone unsold and 28 still going. Any unsold items I will relist also got one or two other bits to put on!

    I need to go to the bank and get some money bags so I can properly bag my change up and deposit it into the bank - this is the tightest week of the month for me so debt busting will be to a bare minimum :-/

    Still got to submit my expenses for work aswell - what ever happened to Sundays being the day of rest?! Lol xx

  • Ok thought I would break down my debts...

    So we have

    Debt 1 - £2495
    Debt 2 - £2400
    Debt 3 - £3500
    Debt 4 - £3689.62
    Debt 5 - £1050
    Debt 6 - TBC
    Debt 7 - TBC

    Total (minus debt 6 and 7) £13, 134.62 :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Managed to get the outstanding balance for debt 6 which is currently £2814.56 :mad: which takes known balance to £15, 949.18

    I managed to find the documents for debt 7 and its on hubs to do list tommorow to phone up and query outstanding balance, im actually thinking it has to be nearly settled, the debt was orignally for a £400 laptop, we have been paying £20.11 since November 2010 which at the moment £460.00 (ish) paid... it cant be much more than that surely? :huh: - well here's hoping anyway! xxx
