  • Hi all,

    Very slow start to the year so far! Lots of birthdays so i cant pay much off.. Will have to wait till payday to get the ball rolling...

    Have saved £10 in the £365 in 365 days so far :) thought i start big for the months i cant save what i need to... Also have £100 to go in to my normal savings from december... am already on my goal for £1000 for a car... think i will aim for £500 for a holiday :) and the rest can go on a new mobile and laptop (hopefully)

    Going to start ebaying up today :) and putting the xmas decorations down :( Also am going to try and do a bit of crafting to sell etc :)

  • EBAY RANT

    Why is it people try and haggle on prices saying ive found it cheaper else where... if you have buy it off there lol...
    Im selling some hen do things that i had left over from the one i organised as some people didnt show.. They are on their cheaper than what i brought them for including postage as well. Yet I have this lady haggling with me to get them even cheaper :(

    rant over

    I do get that hen do's are expensive so i am trying to get her to come up a little so im not losing loads... we all have to make the money back :)

  • Ok so annoyingly I've failed two exams... passed one. YAY.

    So that means another £300 on the credit card plus the £103 i had to put on for my subscription...

    AHHH do not think i will be debt free by the end of this year

  • Ok so trying to only spend £150 on groceries etc for the flat a month.. not sure if i will manage it as I never ever do... but we will see...

    spent £63.31 this time.. that includes stuff i buy less often like bin bags, washing up liquid and bleach.... hoping that i can make what i already have last... and seen as im trying to lose weight i should be able to do that...

    Any money I make on surveys or ebay im using to lower my debts... Im trying to calculate the amount of interest i have to pay so my paid totals take that in to account so i dont have to keep adjusting them...

    slow and steady.. this is going to be ridiculously hard... how do you all do it when you have more debt than me.. people are paying of £700 a month... i really dont think i can do more than £200 not including the interest on the accounts
