    Hi,

    Yeah I have used the snowball calculator, I try to look at it every month to see if I'm making progress, the last couple if months I haven't but at least it hasn't moved! I'm hoping as I'm now re-focused I will be able to get it moving pretty quickly.

    A NSD day yesterday & another planned for today, I start work soon so no expenses today.

    Pay day is on 31st May, just under 2 weeks left to go and not a lot of money left :s
    £94.30 left
    £20 petrol for 2 weeks
    £20 electric for 2 weeks
    £10.88 internet

    £43.42 left for food, I have enough food for this week and anything else that might pop up. I have got next week off work so all of this money will probably be used up.
    Going to have a rummage through my drawers at work as I know I have some receipts there, that I can claim back in expenses.

    Not quite a NSD like I expected, I needed electric, but this was budgeted for so I don't feel too bad.

    I have an old laptop which I haven't used in a couple if years, am going to sell it as I have no use for it.
    Anyone know where I could sell it? Any ideas greatly appreciated.

    Try ebay, gumtree and if you have a facebook account try searching for selling groups in your area.

    Good luck with the sale :)

    Thanks, I will try there but I'm unsure if it works properly. Was thinking of maybe one of these places that you can send unwanted mobile phones??

    This evening I tidied and organised the front room, is looking much less cluttered and I feel more relaxed for it. A big pile of ironing which needs to be done tomorrow though :/

    Plans for tomorrow:
    - another NSD
    - go to the gym (free parking so no expense)
    - a big pile of ironing
    - review online banking to check all accounts
    - take a stroll along the seafront

    Had a look through my draw at work and found loads of receipts that I need to process, I think I have about £240 in expenses to claim, I will put in the claim next week while I'm off work.

    Another NSD today and another one tomorrow as I will be working.
