My Debt Diary, the ramblings of JCD

1) Alas, no. That would have been funny though.
2) In dreams? No. They usually drown, catch fire or get hit by trains
The last boyfriend (well fiancée) I actually 'lost' was kicked to the kerb when I found out he was bumping someone else whilst working in france. Good move on my part I must say.

Not much going on here, really.

Five of my ebay listings have nineteen hours to go, the other seven have up to twenty six hours left. I've been made an offer on a pair of earings and had another user ask me a question about the same item. So I'll give it untill lunch time tomorow to see if the person who asked the question buys them at the £29.99 I have them listed at, if not, I'll take the £25 offer and run.

So far things are quite slow, but it is to be expected in the early days of my wee ebay shop. I've got high hopes about it all, and in the end, it will only be down to myself to make it work. I will make it work.

Tomorow is already looming, we are but minutes away from October. I'm going to clear my debts before the new year, there's no way in hell I'm letting them follow me into the new year.

October self targets.

• NO mobile/0845/0870 calls to be made from landline. Instead, cross the road and use the phonebox.
• Meal planning - Go to Sainsburys to collect the student meal planning book, use said book for purchases in ASDA or Farmfoods.
• NO microwave meals - All food must be cooked from scratch. This ban extends to pre packaged pastas/tinned soups ect.
• £10 PW food budget to be reduced to £5. There is no reason why this cannot be acheived through cooking all meals from scratch and vigorous meal planning.
• Increase rent arrears payments from a weekly £5 to £10 from now untill December.
• Clear the electricity bill.

That's all from me for now, folks. Happy October everyone! xx:beer:

Oooh the soup recipie would be lovely, thanks Pania. Yeah, I have very vivid dreams, always have done. I also experiment with self manipulated dreams by eating a host of different foods before going to bed. Chocolate makes for scary crazy dreams, curry makes for vague/fuzzy ones, and I've had s*x dreams after having a piece of fruit before bed! OOOH! lol

Tightlacing is nothing bad, really. It's the very old traditional style of corset wearing where by the lady doing the wearing aims for an 8" waist or there abouts. But yeah, I'd wait untill after school to google it, jus incase lol.

ooooh madam!!!:rotfl:

Righty. I now have two items with offers made on them. RRP on each is £29.99, offers are both £25. I'll give it untill 15.15 today to see if anyone else watching the items puts in an offer or selects buy it now, if not, I'll take the offers.

Things are going quite slowly, as to be expected I guess. I'll relist what doesn't sell later today and add another two items to at least try to give the impression of new stock comming in ect.

It's a beautiful day outside! I think I'll throw on a washing, hang it all up then faff around the flat tidying. I always seem to get more done when the weather is nice I'll probably update more later.

Toodles the noo xx

hahah!! It may have been down to the potassium in the bananna (potassium is a GREAT mood lifter, I'd recomend it to anyone).....or.......y'know..... It could have been the shape of the fruit that brought on that dream! :rotfl:

pania

hmmm never heard the "bananas are great aphrodisiacs" theory before now!! and get me with the long words!!!

Are there any other outlets you can use for the jewellery hon? other than fee bay?
