    Sales came in at around £40 - minus p+p approx £30 - Paypal balance totting up at £100 after fees and postage costs. Onwards and upwards today with more free listings.

    Just deciding what to use this money for - buy something for myself put into savings accounts or use some money for Christmas?

    Allybee - well done! I paid off my overdraft over the last 5 months and each time it went down I was so pleased - amazing work, keep at it! I'm determined to stay out of my overdraft - going to be close this month by a few pounds only but I will do it!

    Welcome moneysaving momma - break it down into manageable chunks and you will be amazed at how much progress can be made dealing with debt in this way, especially when the total seems so overwhelming - good luck! Keep popping on to tell us how you are doing.

    Tiggy - welcome back and excellent news on the overdraft - also good news to get more of your money back for yourself rather than the bank taking it

    Just sat and totalled up the ones I want rid of first and the total is £34735 not £37000 as I first thought so that's a bonus! I know its not really a credit but it feels a little less daunting anyway!
    Amended my sig to show new figure.

    Thanks Fedupandskint. It felt great looking at my online banking today and seeing that the limit had changed. 5 months is v impressive! Mine's taken a lot longer than that. Can't wait til it's fully in the black!

    Ugh! Was feeling quite pleased that I had about £30 worth of ebay sales tonight when the buyer of my highest selling item messaged me to say she bid by mistake and could I please cancel the transaction.... !!!!!!!

    So now I have to hope that the next highest bidder will accept a second chance offer and that ebay will cancel the first transaction so I don't have to pay fvf's.... Reminds me of why I hate Ebaying so much lol
