Sorry pania, I was wired to the moon on nescafe last night
Yup david is indeed an amazing friend and it's all go at his end now too! He's moving in with his GF on a trial basis to see how it does, I'm all chuffed for them. Here's hoping about the commissions, tbh I can't see the rugs fetching much, but I've fifteen watchers on that one item on ebay! So in theory, there's fifteen people out there interested in having one.
The smallest bill I have is for inland revenue and I'm getting most pressure from the council tax, so thoose two are deffo priority. BF and I are fine, family stuff....well....I won't go into it because it's not great tbh and I really want to keep my diary as positive as possible.
Hope everything is fine over your way too hon xxxDebt free since 2014 - now saving for a mortgage deposit :heart2:

Red bull is good tho, Relentless tastes far nicer and comes in bigger cans.
Cheers hon, I'm hoping to get back into the jewellery again before the end of the year. I'll need to flog a lot of rats to afford the startup of that again! But yeah, I'll be back at it, just need to save once I've started paying some debts. xxxDebt free since 2014 - now saving for a mortgage deposit :heart2:

Ooh look at me, up pure early........yup......it's that coffee again. Not been to bed yet.
For the past three hours I've been un picking the stitching on my black suede jacket for use in my ebay projects. It'd have been done alot quicker if I had a stitch picker instead of doing it with the massive kitchen scissors.....one bloomin stitch at a time!
Anyhoo, although I am admitedly a bit down about my two auctions that are still running having very little in the way of actual bids, there does seem to be loads of interest. Last night, after running to the shop for tobacco (I caved in) I came back and checked my ebay to find yet another request for a commission. That's three requests totalling six items in all! So, I'm having a quick brew before I head out to go to the petshop fifteen miles away to get stock in and get ready for Friday at 2pm when folk will be comming back to me with enquiries.
Wether theese commissions pan out or not is yet to be seen, but I'll be throwing up some of theese rug auctions with buy it now prices anyway.
Does anyone out there know a thing or two about paypal? I lost my old bank card and had it replaced, I've now added my new bank card details to paypal but I've had no notice about the security deposit being sent or not. Is it something I have to request to validate my card? It's going to be a mighty pain in the backside making money to pay the bills but not being able to withdraw it.
Anyhoo, I'm off out to purchase dead things (sorry to thoose of you eating whilst reading this) Toodles the noo, Joanne x

Very quick update. I've just been paid for my first ever commission :j
This brings the RPTB total to £30, so only £90 to go before inland revenue are dealt with! With the two auctions I have running at the moment they are sitting at a combined £6.49, so I'm creeping up to a total reuction of £40 to inland revenue.
That's all for now. xDebt free since 2014 - now saving for a mortgage deposit :heart2:

Another piece sold which brings RPTB up to £50 and ILR bill down to £70! Of the two auctions I have running at the moment they are a combined £12.26. One finishes on Friday, the other on Saturday.
I've a commission to do this week which will be another £10 to add, four small mounts for ebay and a big commission which could bring in anything up to £100 depending on what the client wants.
Not long now untill this bill is gone :j

Hi hun, glad that the furry things are going well. You will have rid of that debt in no time :j
Am grabbing an early (ish) night right now - getting up early for work certainly has its downsidesand it is amazing how tired going to work makes me! I thought I would be getting used to it by now but.......NOT!!!
Take care, and have a good week xxxxxSuccessful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -
Thanks hon x
Early night? What's that? I've been up untill 4am each night for days now getting cracking with my projects and commissions.
Ach it'll take you a while to get propperly used to working as much as you are, and before you know it you'll be bored on days off and looking for overtime!
You have a good week too xxx
Update
The commission which could have gone up to £100 is smaller and quite basic, so it's now priced at £35. Once the payment is through that'll be the RPTB total at £85!
I'm off to do work now, be good y'all xxxDebt free since 2014 - now saving for a mortgage deposit :heart2:
