    Maybe I will become an ebay fan after all

    184 days until debt free date...

    Out of interest what will this rise to if you take the weekend away? I would say don't go as you already have a holiday planned... Unless it is something specil.

    Ooo interesting point... Not totally sure.

    Christmas is just a date i chose, not paying a set amount per month, just doing plenty overtime to ensure big overpayments to be on track for Dec.

    I think its about £350 to go and i usually try to pay at least £400 a month....

    So at a guess i would say an extra month :-(

    Just want to start new year fresh with 0 debt.

    There is your answer then ;) If going on a two day/48 hr/36 hr (if you miss count sleeping) will knock you back 31days is it really worth it? Each hour will 'cost' you a day! If its not something special ie birthday/aniversary/special weekend then don't go! There will be plenty of other weekend's and you still have your other holiday to look forward too :T

    Just found Zapper and thought of you... Works the same way as Music Magpie but can be used for books ;)


    Had a look at this and some of the books are only getting 40p... Gonna try them all on ebay once for 99p, then if no takers will do a bulk order with zapper. Have about 50 books so even 40p each will be a help...

    So I am off work tommorow and have set myself a limit of £30 to spend. Eyebrows done, meal with friends and drinks...

    Also need to get some serious spring cleaning/gardening/throwing out some of the hoard done!!

    I will then not be spending any money until my direct debits are out and I have a fuller picture of money available for debt repayments :)



    July, July, July...
    The month of huge amounts of overtime to make big inroads in next month or so and have holiday spends for October...
