Update

Just listed another 10 items on fleabay.

Hubby gave me a wall heater that I could sell. Don't think he knew they sell for £120 new :eek:. Have tried a buy it now / Best offer of £85 ...Fingers Crossed.

Hope he does'nt spot how much I have listed it for, otherwise he will want that money for his Shotgun fund . He's not getting it .

Hi SS,

Wow - you sound so determined today. Fair play to you!!! How come Littlewoods are demanding so much money. They sound quite aggressive in their approach :mad:

Great news about the wall heater. That would really help with your overdraft!

Hi ClearmyDebts

Thanks for your post.

Hehe Have been doing some serious #baying lately. Because I am home with the children, I see it as my only way to help sort this mess out .

The problem with the L1ttlewoods account is everything I ordered (Mostly Childrens Birthday, Christmas Presents & Clothes) was on the interest free 20 weeks option. So they want alot of money fast . Trouble is I did'nt realise how all the orders added up to ALOT of money every month :eek:.

It is still interest free, apart from the £12 charge they are giving me every month . Will hopefully have it cleared in less than 4 months. Fingers Crossed.

At least with them demanding lots of money, it makes me pay it off quicker. I just thank heavens I had my LBM so I can just about keep them happy

Hi NewLeaf

Yes so far, not sure what I am going to do when I run out of stuff to #bay. I am nearly there .

Looking into making things, but not sure if there is any money in it .

Morning Diary

A tonne of bills came out this morning, but for once I am expecting them all and my stress levels are nice and low. :j. Bank statement checked and spreadsheet nicely balanced.

Mortgage paid, which is a fab achievement considering how often I missed the DD last year .

I am completely consumed with how I can make some extra money. I look around my house with a completely different eye now. I am always thinking "do I need that?".

I listed some things on Amaz0n a few days ago. I had an old blank Tenancy agreement form from years ago and that has just sold for £7. The old me would just have thrown it in the bin . Just shows what small things are floating around the house that could bring in a little bit of money.

Not really decided what I am doing today. The house is quite tidy, washing machine is on.

Here is a starter list for today:

Empty dishwasher
Pack away clean clothes
Prepare tonights dinner (Lasagne)

Am tempted to tackle DD's bedroom. It is a sea off scattered toys, hairbands & girly Lego .

I was also planning on trying to get out and do some weeding/clearing of the garden but its quite wet out there today so not feeling the love at the moment.

Keep getting survery reminders come through so maybe I ought to do a few surverys. You never know I might make 30p :rotfl:.

Hope you are all having a good Friday.:T

Thought I would add to my diary, that I am considering starting a training course to become a Teaching Assistant.

They have a local Adult Education Centre fairly near me and some new courses start in April.

I know my childrens school are happy for volunteers and I have already done a CRB through them as I helped out in school last year.

This is my only way to try to get back into work and still have the school holidays off.

I tried to call the adult Education place today but they are only open Monday - Thursday . Will have to try again next Monday.

Would be nice to have a purpose again, as much as it is nice to be home, I do feel quite bored and un-motivated.

Will see what they say on Monday

that would be excellent
