No more bids on Ebay yet. They end Sunday so still hoping for a few bids.

Hoping for just a grocery spend today and checking the bank for £26.50 worth of refunds. Just checked - yay refunds are in my account

Also just paid £20.24 to debt 1 (cc). This is now at 31%
debt 2 (hmrc) is now at £700 which is 12.5%
debt 3 (hmrc no2) is estimated to be at £15 which is 10% after eBay sales

Oh my goodness I forgot to post here when I put my pennies in my savings.
I gathered £10.19 which made my savings account balance £394.01.
So for my tablet repayment - i've completed 5%
For my savings goals of £3,000 I've completed 13%

I'm hoping to get some cash out tonight as I want to finish a little Christmas shopping.

Quietly awaiting pay day T-minus 7 days! Absolutely love adding stickers to my chart!! i look at it every now and then, along with the graph on my spreadsheet to keep motivated! So close to my target as well! I should be at 100% end of next month for my debt repayments, so I will start a new 100 square Saving chart once that is complete! I will need to invest in new stickers for it as well

Ive just got 4 pairs of jeans out to sell. 3 of mine which wont fit for ages (ive saved 4 pairs for when i slim down!) and 1 of my brothers which wont fit the husband. Also cleared out DD1 drawers and got 2 GAP jeans that are snug on her and a skirt. Hopefully this pile will get me some ££s. All good brands and good condition so fingers crossed!(1 has a mark on it so its in the wash now in the hopes it comes out)

Need to take up some jeans for the husband today. I bought i pair of XL ones from M&S in the sale and another from the charity shop (Next). I love bargains!

Im babysitting tonight so wont get much done so need to do it this afternoon.

I spent £20.98 in gap :eek: on stuff to the total of £42 if you add up rrp. So bargains, and they were stuff my DD needs (Jeans, leggings & a warm hoody) sending £21 from my PP later to cover the cost. Thankfully that should be enough til Xmas (i already have her some jeans, a top, 2 dresses and 2 pjs wrapped up in this next size)

Have got a sale pending £9.50 (so about £6 after post and PP fees.) and listed a small bundle of boys 2-3 trousers on FB (will wait for free listings on Ebay)

Fingers crossed for some more interest on FB tonight!

Off to see if the mark on my jeans did fade so i can get them listed later....

Hi everyone :hello:

I kinda disappeared there for ages . I've just got married, and we've bought a wee house so I'm in dire need of restarting my %'s!

If you wouldn't mind updating my info I'd really appreciate it Little Miss

#90 - 1% = £25

Starting in 3...2...1....*wish me luck!*

Good luck everyone keep updating!

Hi Nukke, Congratulations on the marriage and the house

Well im up for the day thanks to a mixture of the dog, the rain and my allergies so im trying to be productive. Ive started the washing, brewed up, begrudgingly paid a fine and now im going to sew whilst all 3 kids sleep peacefully upstairs (can you tell im not happy to be up this early, ive been up an hour already)

We have a hospital appointment at 10 so i need to find money for the car park *grumble* i am not going to cave and get a costa there, i am not. This will be followed ideally by a quiet afternoon listing things on Ebay but depends how the kids are being. Hoping our current CC comes through the post so we can use the details to do our balance transfer to our new one as we cut the original up last year LOL

Still waiting for 3 ebay payments and a refund. sigh.
