Amen, TTGU! Wish I had planned ahead a bit more so that I could have offered something for dinner and then she would have been here a few more hours! :A
So Sunday is here and my EBay auctions end later today......hoping for some good numbers but we shall see. It is not a very pleasant day weather wise so it looks like the carboot sale is out of the question. However, I am feeling pretty mellow after my lovely day yesterday so I'm just going to chill out at home, do some revision for my exam on Tuesday, and will the Universe to increase the bidding on my auctions!
Payday on Tuesday so just a couple of days until a little magic can be spun. Really looking forward to making some positive changes and I should see my debt dropped further by next weekend (it will take a few days to pull out some pennies through the matched bets).
Every day that passes is one less day of debt for me to live through and one day closer to freedom and a better way of living. :T But I'm not wishing my life away - living in the present with the awareness I now have of money and how I spend it, is a beautiful experience. Coming out the other end of the tunnel will be amazing but I won't wish away the journey.Credit Card Freedom gained 14 Feb 2014!!Total Debt Freedom gained 29 Apr 2014!!Savings goal 30/9/23: £72,000/£538,001.....yes I'm serious!Total Debt August 2013: [STRIKE]$21,587[/STRIKE] April 2014: $0!!!!:j0 -
Hiya wegle! We were posting at the same time! We're in North Yorkshire and it isn't very nice here today. Not horrid, just cold, overcast and threatening a soaking!
I admit to considering the heating but, as per every year, I am holding off until I just can't hold off any longer......maybe I should just give in to hubby's desperate desire for a pug instead!
Wishing us both a profitable EBay weekend, wegle! :TCredit Card Freedom gained 14 Feb 2014!!Total Debt Freedom gained 29 Apr 2014!!Savings goal 30/9/23: £72,000/£538,001.....yes I'm serious!Total Debt August 2013: [STRIKE]$21,587[/STRIKE] April 2014: $0!!!!:j0 -
If it were possible to increase the bids on your eBay auctions just by checking them, I would be a millionaire by now and headed to the Maldives by private jet........:DCredit Card Freedom gained 14 Feb 2014!!Total Debt Freedom gained 29 Apr 2014!!Savings goal 30/9/23: £72,000/£538,001.....yes I'm serious!Total Debt August 2013: [STRIKE]$21,587[/STRIKE] April 2014: $0!!!!:j0

Going to raid the DVD drawers and take some up to CEX. Have a camera to take also and maybe even an old laptop. Don't know what we will get for any of it but worth a shot.Whatever takes the debt down and takes it down hard!!

Bloomin' fantastic mood achieved this afternoon!! Off loaded a bag of DVDs, a camera, and a mobile phone at CEX and received the princely sum of £38.60! Found 5p roadkill in Asda! And to top it all, I was hoping to get £50 out of my EBay auctions but they have still not finished and will net me over £100 when they do!

Aw thanks Silly! X I admit to being absolutely chuffed to its with myself today?
Plus we are in the process of making plum jam with a carrier bag of plums a colleague gave me from her garden last week. Free food is always welcome and as I've never made jam before, I am also learning something new.......now let's hope it turns out well!
Dig about at home - I am sure you can dig up some good candidates for an eBay auction or two.....I have plans for some more this week. When you see me list hubby, you know a) I have nothing left in the house to sell and b) I may need some help for my EBay problem......:DCredit Card Freedom gained 14 Feb 2014!!Total Debt Freedom gained 29 Apr 2014!!Savings goal 30/9/23: £72,000/£538,001.....yes I'm serious!Total Debt August 2013: [STRIKE]$21,587[/STRIKE] April 2014: $0!!!!:j0 -

Sitting here chewing my nails and wondering if the final takings from EBay will allow me to break the £200 mark for the September challenge........that would be great! I reckon I can then make up the the remaining £100 with some matched bets and I will have hit target! Oh please, oh please, oh please Universe!! Hour or two to go.......fingers crossed, toes crossed, hubby's head rubbed......:DCredit Card Freedom gained 14 Feb 2014!!Total Debt Freedom gained 29 Apr 2014!!Savings goal 30/9/23: £72,000/£538,001.....yes I'm serious!Total Debt August 2013: [STRIKE]$21,587[/STRIKE] April 2014: $0!!!!:j0
