Positive Thoughts

Dreaming_always

Food shopping didn't go as planned spent £72 instead of my budget, we went to a supermarket instead because the other fruit and veg shops were shut. Massive face palm!

However there were some non food thing included like printer paper and items for daughter to make for her homework, she had to make biscuits decorated Into animals.

Will pay towards overdraft when money has been paid out .

Youngest child being an absolute nightmare refusing to sleep her bed time is usually 7 and shes only just gone, and her nap today didnt even happen!

Moneywise I put an extra £10 to the overdraft and thats literally me poor this week till Friday. I have two birthdays next week and mothers day!
I had a plan to ebay some items today but because she didnt go to sleep didnt get a chance to photograph the stuff

Will try and do it tomorrow, I was very organised (sad) last night and got a new notebook and have listed on every page with the date of each sunday for the next few months, will be writing down my debt each week and what I have done to get it down, I wont be using it as a spending diary, but use it for positive actions towards the debt, once the debt has gone I will be using it to note down money towards my savings.

Finally got my bum into gear, listed 5 things on eBay and one has already sold so £10 coming to me, I wont withdraw the money until it all sells.

The other items are quite bulky so collection only, hopefully less paypal fees to pay

I can relate to this-I've had the mother of all headaches today and it has only just gone-been in bed nearly all day!

Thanks tattycath, did you manage to eBay much more?

Another eBay item has sold for £10 on a buy it now, and have four more listings two are buy it nows and the other auctions both have bids

Hopefully I am due £40 from something I sold to a friend in Sunday so will see. Will overpay tomorrow on the overdraft and will update with numbers .

I've sold 5 cheap items this month so far and got over 40 listed

Dreaming_always

That's good, wow I couldn't manage 40 items to list in one go.

Total eBay sales this week £45
Money transferred into over draft is £30

Overdraft stands at £815.

I have had a nice Mother's Day today got some lovely chocolates and flowers, very peaceful.

Happy Mother's Day!

Have had a few more ebay sales and someone came to pick up a item £30 in cash, had to use some for postage, Overdraft now stands at £799, I feel really happy that its under the £800 mark.

Its become a bit of a habit just to transfer whatever I have in my normal account to the nearest £50 just to be able to reduce looking back at my march statement I've paid a lot.

Waiting for Barclay card statement and will pay the minimum plus a bit more, fingers crossed someone who owes me some money on Friday will finally pay it after 3 months, because that will take a large dent off the overdraft
