Good evening
Hope everyone is OK?
Well, I would have made the £57 I needed to pay on my CC to get under £1k today if everyone who won an item had paid :eek:. Why would you wait until the last 20 seconds to bid on an item and then not pay? Its different if a bid is placed days before the item ends, the winner may not be near the computer, but they must be near the computer to bid within seconds of the end!!!
Anyway, some have paid, and I have paid £20 off of CC.
#11 - £3685.69/£10,224 = 36.05%
I will be back to update when more people pay.
I have listed 51 items today. I opened 3 drawers in my room and found loads of things I haven't worn for ages, so they are going!!

32b3in2013, I use a sniping tool to win things from eBay, and I think a lot of people do that. So I'm nowhere near the computer when my last second bid comes in, often.
Pay day today. I have just put myself into significantly more debt, for investment purposes (and I lent $1K to my mum so she can tart her house up a bit for sale, she'll pay me back from the settlement funds) so my accounts look awful. But I'm separating all of that out from the personal debt, and if I've done my sums right I am finally going to be back on track this fortnight, after a month of going backwards.
Now to twiddle my thumbs and check the bank statement obsessively for the next 10 hours...MFW diary here. 1 Feb 2017 $229,371 - MFD Feb 2043 :eek: aiming for May 2028

Almost double posting to say, FINALLY:
#119 $6937.32/$8000
It's rather nice seeing it written out like that, because in my bank account it looks much worse now that I've taken on this extra debt. But that's investment debt and I have to keep them separate for my own[STRIKE] in[/STRIKE]sanity.MFW diary here. 1 Feb 2017 $229,371 - MFD Feb 2043 :eek: aiming for May 2028
