I sometimes get like that. A couple of months ago the kids brought home some "Bags4School", so the school got money for clothes. I sent a load in that I was basically just sick of looking at. I did seriously feel better for clearing it out. Maybe thats what i need to do again.... Have a good clearout!

I think when you just see clothes and toys everywhere and other things you are trying to sell and they are not shifting, gets to you. Then a good clearout and you have a manageable pile, once it is gone, so good, until next set of toys and clothes need selling...lol.

I did want cash for DS as he needs new summer clothes, etc but will just rely on glitches for a while

Totally off topic, but just gone online to pay 2 of my catalogue bills and when i checked the balance one is down to £99 and one is down to £56. 2 years ago these were both nearly £1000 each! :eek::eek::eek:

Its down to me taking part in this a LOT last year! I have a paypal mastercard so when people paid up on ebay i used to work out postage and fees then pay the remaining straight off the catalogue, even if it was only £2 (i think that was the min i could pay online at the time). I've never checked the balance on this for a few months. Just been logging on, paying min payment, logging off. Now i'm back in the right "frame of mind", i thought i would check all my balances. :cool:

So a big HUGE thanks to everyone here, old and new, for spuring me along when i was down, celebrating my highs with me, and welcoming me back with opening arms when i re-joined you all this month!

I now know where the rest of my ebay money is going. I'm gonna try and get this paid of as soon as possible! I thought it was gonna take me FOREVER to pay off just 18-24 months ago!

:beer:

CountingPennies, well done for paying off so much on your 2 catalogue bills.

Hope you get your motivation back soon.

Well done to you all for doing so well with this thread. After starting my new job last month I haven't had much motivation or energy left to think of making money. All I have made this month is £1.98 which is my ISA interest but I enjoy reading all your posts.

I withdraw £30 every week for my bus pass which gives me £18 to live on from Monday to Friday. If I have any spare money left on a Friday I put that change in to my saving pot. Would you count that money towards this challenge?

Aesop, sorry that you had an unpleasant experiance last weekend. Hope you are feeling a bit better now.

Good luck to all with this challenge.
