Loving the way you allocate what you would have spent to your overpayments. Like wine! When I complete on my house on Friday, I might trying doing the same thing!

Bet you can't wait. Knowing what I know now I wish I'd started this OP thing years ago.
Will be reading your updates with interest

Seriously!! I still haven't finished painting DS's room. I have spent hours in there. I don't think I'm slow but I must be.
Will be finished by mid morning tomorrow. Everywhere else is a tip because I have been so wrapped up in his room.
Loving my week off...honest!!

Well, I've had a spendy couple of days. I went out for tea with a friend and then continued the evening at mine with a couple of bottles of fizzy! Loved it but spent about £40
I put petrol in today £40..let's see how long that lasts. I reckon about 10 days. Last time I put petrol in was 16 days ago. Also, food shop delivered £45. Last food shop was 12 days ago.

Been good through the week. When I'm in work, I only spend petrol money really.
Selling some bits on 3bay. Made £60ish so far. Still a few things to go.
I went to HB this morning and spent £114. I needed toiletries, cleaning stuff and bought the kids some new bedding at a fraction of the price than in N3XT or M+S.
Left to do today
Clean the kitchen and put washing away

happydays_70

Didn't do the cleaning yesterday and I have only made pathetic attempts at it today
I have done a food shop at Aldee to complement the HB one yesterday.
Sold all my 3bay items so listed another 14 today - spring clothes.
I was paid on Friday - I need to make some serious OPs in March. Got DS's birthday at the start of April

Keep going!

With eBay, I never found it worth it what with having to sort out all the postage etc. I used to sell bundles of my girl's clothes.

Don't really have anything left to sell (clothes or otherwise), but a lot to throw away!!!

Well done on the decorating your DS' room. When my brother leaves, I am planning on painting two of the bedrooms, carpet in all three bedrooms and stairs and landing, painting two walls of the living room and painting the kitchen and changing all the handles on the cupboards. My dad is going to be sooooo busy!!:rotfl:
