Hi guys, posted on the wrong thread but have found you all now...! First bank account skim of the year is £6.61 but hopefully this will increase now the bank-busting festive season is over. Good luck for the 2013 everyone. Here's to a frugal and fruitful one...!Sealed Pot Challenge - No: 223

I think it's really up to you! My week starts on a Monday in my head, although I really don't know why as I make most of my extra payments on a Friday! Technically the week could start on a Tuesday as that was the day 1st of Jan fell on.
Ok, enough waffle, short answer is 'you decide'

Good Morning

A lovely £50 transferred from my paypal account from ebay sales into my bank account meaning another £50 paid off my overdraft this week :T:T
Have a great day

Ok so this is the start of my new week. Things haven't gone quite to plan as I have a leak from my boiler so the £80 I got paid for working at the weekend will have to pay for that rather than pay off my card. Typical !

So instead I had managed to put 4 £2 coins in a jar as was going to save them so I've taken them out and use them this week and pay the £8 off card.
I have a load of stuff on eBay that finishes tonight. Only CDs so won't be a fortune but it will go off a card when I get it!
