get rid of £1000 debt in 2 months challenge!!

JCD_Capulet

I phoned the housing to see if they'd sent me a recorded delivery letter, they said no (I presumed it would be them withmy eviction notice). So, I've got a mystery something in an envelope at the post office. I hope it's good news for once. Lynz, Dezzi chins up ladies. You've both done fantasticly so far, a slow day or two is nothing (and it lets us slow coaches catch up )

oooh hope its something good J

Yeah feeling a bit better now I think.

Im going to crack on with my tasks after slacking for a bit, once I actually do things I do feel way better

Hey guys, looks like everyone is having a slow day for some reason or other. Hope you all feel better soon, and yeah don't forget its nearly friday!

If it makes any of you feel better, I will tell you my reason for being off work yesterday - I had a sneezing fit on the way to work, so much so that I fell over into a huge puddle and was completely soaked! I had to walk home drenched (in the rain) and ring up mid-sneeze to explain what had happened and that I wasn't in any state to come in! Needless to say I was quite ridiculed today when I came back

Still only managing my daily clicks at the moment, if anyone has found any more great ways of making some money then post it please!!!

hope your feeling better soon lynz

I am doing well with the debt challenge ...........

Today I offered my services to my office's call centre team who had a conference in a local centre, so I was looking after the calls and dealing with the queries on credit limits. (I am an insurance underwriter so at least I knew my way around the system). As a thanks for my assistance I was rewarded with an open invitation to a free lunch in the office restaurant - now I usually budget £1 a day (soup and a roll) so it was nice to have a roast chicken lunch and dessert and coffee for nothing.

I have had an email via ebay thanking me for sending the brand new kids shoes that I sold at 99p but stating my postage was too high - (as a job lot I made a loss on the postage) so will have to think about giving the buyer a reimbursement ??

Welshy - I wouldn't give a refund - I feel that once they bid, especially now it's very clear what they will pay for the item AND postage, I don't think you need to.

What did you send them in? Was it a huge over postage charge? Some buyers can be very cheeky.

oh I know what I forgot to say ....... it is DD's 9th birthday on the weekend,

so I converted my tesco clubcard vouchers (worth 4 times as much when converted) and now have £55.00

This will pay for a family meal at Harry Ramsdens for the family and entry into Techniquest - and I shouldn't have to put any cash towards it, it's not getting anything off my debts but at least I am not adding to them

Hi

I hope everyone that is feeling ill at the moment soon feels better .

Today I have listed some more items on Ebay and I am just about to get started on some questions on AQA. I want to try and boost my total by at least another tenner if possible. I'm doing a few comps in between the questions too

I am back at work tomorrow so won't have as much moneymaking time.
