    Looks like we WON'T be paying the sofas this month.

    OH is scrapping his car at the end of this month and has been after a particular car for ages, it's a bargain so it seems silly not to buy it while we have cash to do so. It has 11 months MOT too so that's good.

    3 payments until the loan is paid off :D I'm pretty psyched!

    I think we can still meet our DFD of 15th June even with the car, if we kick our bums into gear...

    Its a really nice feeling and i'm sure it wont be long before you start to experience it :)

    This next month wont see many payments - i intend to pay for our house insurance in 1 lump sum to save on fees and the annual tv licence is also due.

    Hi everyone

    Another 2 buyers have paid this evening so another payment has gone on my credit card. I need to pay £56 odd to take balance on the card to less than £1000. The balance was at nearly £3000 in the middle of Jan 2013. I WILL take it under £1k tomorrow :D

    #11 - £3665.69/£10,224 = 35.85%

    Another one to pay and loads ending tomorrow :D

    Texted home to ask for the code on my tax disc renewal form (it's still registered at my parents house) and got a text back saying my Dad has it and is going to renew it for me tomorrow, and I can just pay him back 'when I can afford to' :mad:

    I already put aside the money to pay my tax disc last month, so it's quite frustrating having them interfere! Well intentioned, but not necessary!

    32b3 thanks for the tip! I need to list a few items this weekend!

    Afternoon

    It's much easier listing from your phone isn't it Kerri :D

    Soooo much quicker, although not sure the pictures are as good quality. But at least I can just edit them next week if the things don't sell. I'm almost at the bottom of a 3rd box now :D it's gradually going down wooohooo.

    I didn't make a single sale on my new business today :( I think I need to get the search rankings up and maybe then I'll start getting some. Although also thinking I need to improve images. It's so hard trying to start a business, so many things to do. Although I feel like the wind has been knocked from my sales by not getting a sale today. Oh well, onwards and upwards I will make it work :)
