30 months to no debt - an Optimistic Journey

You keep fighting SBO..you need that cash!

What's the plan you mentioned? Is OH on board with the new tight regime?

Venison sounds brilliant . I love it too and as it's in season I feel it's even more special.

Have a good day and hope you feel better soon x

Yes he is on board. The plan is - reduce card balances even on the cards we use month on month. Eventually get back to zero balance - trick is to pop extra on. we can do it. Husband is on board fighting the good fight with batchcooking, organising chain gangs to dig gardens and propping me up with the ebay.

We are listing a broken ipod, lots of vinyl albums and some broken phones and clothes DS has grown out of and a whole cacophony of c4ap! perhaps its a crapophony?

Expenses need repaying and they need to send me what I am owed.

Its a jip!

Actually we are well on the way to still being debt free in our timeframe. This can really move on when we get the house rented out and I feel so stressed worrying about the work but I have to do it.

I am going to get on with some surveys too. Want to make at least an extra 20 pounds a week - thats 1000 a year - and I have already done that. Til the new year thats 260 pounds. Think I can get it to 1300 pounds for the year? or will I get past it? Think it would be fantastic to give it a go! I can add it to my signature, so far this week I have made my total so I am sure I can do it.

In an improvement to the day, one of the items I listed last night already has attracted a bid. I am now 99p closer to my goals!

Month 25 day 15. Backpay, well the union wont pursue as the allowance shouldnt be part of my terms. Despite me getting it since I came into post. There is a fear that the company will try and recoup the money paid to date. So we need to leave it.

Thats me drawing a line under it. The good news is, I am having an interview for the posh job I went for at the end of the month. I am going to try heavens hard to get it. Emergency fund is up to 2.22. Ebay is bid up to 6.49. Everything has been posted and I have sorted and photographed some more items and listed a load of them.

Daughter and her boyfriend round for tea tonight with the doggy grandson to play with Roxy dog. Husband agreed to look at dogs yesterday, I went to show him some and he said he wasnt ready. I am not replacing my sunshine girl, I am merely having another fluffy baby.

I have the weekend to work on him.


The great british dig will be taking place this weekend. Onwards and upwards towards the house being let out.

Once my expenses are repaid I shall settle a couple of bills first and then set about ordering the stair carpet.

Sorry to hear about your dog. My parents vowed to never have another dog when their old boy died.
Within 3 months they had bought a Jack Russell !!!!! (they vainly thought a small dog would be ideal). The damn thing is manic. She 'helps' my dad in the garden, dictates when she wants a walk & launches herself at anyone who dares to visit.
She is 3 and shows no sign of calming down.
