Glad to know I'm not the only one allergic to meal planning........
although there is a new Jamie Oliver series starting on Monday which is supposed to be meals on a budget type thing that will be interesting to watch

For anyone who is interested tonight will be spicy chicken ciabatta sandwiches, tomorrow stir fry, Friday paella not go any further than that maybe if I just stick to a few days at a time ill get the hang of it:D

I love EBay - it's amazing what you can sell! Sounds like you are taking more steps forward than back. *hat doffed*

So had a wee visit to Aldi today not been for a while and def managed to save some money. I cant get everything I would normally buy in there but thinking if I do my "top up" shops in there instead of asda then that should help the never ending battle with the grocery bill.

However some of the good work may be undone by their "special buys" came away with a £6.99 paella pan:rotfl:

Another day and another 4 items finishing on eBay - so far only one has a bid on it and that wouldn't even cover the cost of the paella pan

Am so stressed about this month even through I had managed to save a bit for it ( wedding anniversary, Dh bday, ds1 bday, dads bday etcetera ) other unexpected things keep cropping up really really don't want to put anything on the ccs so looks as though my wee "Xmas extras pot" is now going to become a "get through September pot"

Joined the make £10 a day challenge in order to stop me stressing about this month and do something productive and to keep me on the eBay wagon:rotfl:

Now got bids on 2 items woo hoo the finish in an hour so keep everything crossed for me

scotdebs

2 out of 4 sold £27.70 not bad .... Need to get more stuff up soon though and keep the momentum going

At least that's the paella pan paid for

So ticking along on the "it's the little things everyday mantra" cause lets face it it can't be pay day every day... If only I'd be debt free in a fortnight:rotfl:

So trying to put stuff up on eBay each day to keep the cash trickling in pay pal account sitting at just over £100 woo hoo would have been more if I hadn't treated oh and I to a pizza at the weekend - naughty takeaway addict:mad: and a wee extra pressie for ds1 whose bday is next week:o however still waiting on one payment so hopefully that will be up another £13 when they pay.

Stressing about having to go away with work now till end of week -will have to spend the next 3 days dealing with angry stressed out folks

Well my PayPal treat pot is now the "get through September without hitting the cc's " pot:(

Whilst it was great to wipe the rbs card out an over payment of over £550 was just a bit tight for this months budget and has left me feeling really stressed... Reckon we have a short fall of about £150 to get us to payday with just over £100 in the PayPal pot

So am flinging anything and everything on eBay 16 items currently listed hopefully get another 3 or things on today...

Oft this debt free malarkey is hard work sometimes
