Well it sold for £2.19 im happy

Today im going to focus on putting more on FB and finding lots of bits to list! Its slow as sales can be slow but its the only thing i can do with the 3 kidlets with me! (ideally id love to trawl charity shops and car boots for things to sell on but just not viable with a 4, 2 and 5 month old lol)

Going to order the part for my car that i think i need after taking it to the garage for their ideas. If they line up then bingo!!

Got my mums present made. Made a heavy duty tote bag for all her writing stuff, its reversible too And made 7 double sided washable facial wipes with a storage pouch to keep them in

Hope it wasn't too expensive Happytails, we spoke to a mechanic and he said it could be two things, the first being the rubber from the inside of the pulley has shattered so it is just rubbing on metal so we said to weld 4 bars across (handy as that's my partners job lol ) or some sort of sensor for £130.00 so I hope it is the first option.
Percentage wise debt 1 is up to 38.95%/100% - £1168.65 paid so far and debt #2 is up to ... 9.68%/100% £310.01 paid, slowly does it lol

Just made £20 with Music magpie selling 28 DVDs. Mostly kids ones but we've put them on the laptop and external hard drive so no need to keep the discs i dont think! Saved 5 of the kids favourites and 4 are going to Mums house, the rest can go! So thats another % :j wont be in the bank for a week or so i dont think! Could have spent ages listing them on Ebay but couldnt be bothered so a nice quick easy percent there.

Best get them wrapped up whilst the smallest child is napping! (ohhh some of them were ones they declined last time i cleared out and this time they wanted them so do try the ones they didnt want to accept previously )

I set myself some goals for April..
GOALS FOR APRIL :
1) Have £600.00 in HSBC Savings Account (£452.97 atm)
2) Have debt #1 at 40% (currently at 39.88%)
3) Have debt #2 at 12% (currently at 9.68%)
4) Have overall debt at 39% (currently at 35%)

I have about 10 sticky notes on my laptop which have all the facts and figures written down, I think it can get quite addictive LOL.
I have a few D/Ds to go towards #2 and #1 so hopefully I should meet all my targets

I'm back!

Have listed 12 items for 99p starts on ebay to get some repayment funds in for the cc's. I'm pleased one card has been closed down and paid off and it's time to tackle the other 3 to get them paid off

Hi!

Hope i'm doing this right!? I have £2400 to pay off several debts so I need 100 ways to make £24 right? My 1% = £24.

I'm already on an incredibly tight budget and I have very little I can sell due to 'starting over' after messy relationship breakdown last summer...anyway, that means i'm going to need to be extra imaginitive! Anyone need their cat walking?!?
