Hey Pantherchick,
Just stopping by to see how your getting on! You seem to be doing really well with selling.
Ive really not being doing so well with sticking things on ebay, I have managed quite a few NSD's though.
Keep up the good work

Thanks babes...
I'm so trying to stay focused, although I can't get on line everyday.. the fleabay is adding up, even small amounts are growing... tall oaks from little acorns grow..
Just telling myself if I add some fleabay items eachday or every couple of days I will have plenty items selling... good luck let me know how you get on xx.0 -
I think staying focused is the hardest bit, but coming on here really does help. Some days I think .... I owe so much money is there much point, but actually there is because If I don't focus on paying my debt off now I never will.
Ive just added 3 items to fleabay! Thanks for the inspiration. Even £1 is £1.... and less clutter in my bedroom at the same time HA HA xxTotal debt to pay: £14,071.41/ Remaining debt: £12,884.12: Amount Paid: £1,187.29

I agree Laurag89 -there's a quote I like that goes "A year from now you'll wish you had started today". If you're not tackling your debt chances are you're adding to it and you'll be worse off later!Save0

I could do with writing that quote on a post it and sticking it somewhere in view to keep me going.
I find the most frustrating thing with debt is that it isnt a quick process when getting rid of it, not compared to how quick it was to rack up in the first place. If I dont see immediate results I usually give up, but not this time :ATotal debt to pay: £14,071.41/ Remaining debt: £12,884.12: Amount Paid: £1,187.29

Day 23/31
Mse things done today... hmmm
Added my over time to my make £10 a day challenge...
Adpoints added to my nectar account....
Ok so all ive done today is clean house and go see my daughter and the children. I did eat at my daughters but took cake and sweets for the children so I did spend a bit...
I did sort out my clothes today and on my way I found some fleabay items! yay... so I guess I did do something mse today....
Fleabay items end tomorrow and nothing seems to be selling... so I will put them things on my rotate list and add them again eventually in the next month... put my new items on first... bnwt always seem to bring in the watches on fleabay.....
Not got a lot of time off at the minute. but I guess over the weekend I might get chance to enter a few bits on fleabay...
Booked some days off work as a holiday so I really need to get on with some decorating...
So payday is not too far away and im beginning to wish it was now... I still have money in the bank and I need it.... for bills that go out any day now....
would like to hear from you mse guys out there see how you all are and what you are doing to make extra money right now... I think ive not done bad for January.. im not over drawn and ive budgeted for everything I think this month... so I don't think ive done too bad...
Ive adjusted my £10 a day pot and I don't think its bad for a first try and the month isn't over yet.... although £75.00 has been taken from the pot to pay for the fireplace I have bought and it was cheap too.... discount for family...
The new month isn't that far away and im ready to challenge myself again for a second month.... lets give it ago...
On a good note.. im pleased to tell you the mr in this house has not purchased one single newspaper since Jan 1st... where he used to buy two a day... hes saving in his pot the money... how super cool is he.... well proud hes doing something so mse yet proves you don't need to buy every day... he says he doesn't miss them and that they were all doom and gloom anyway! the money will help him somewhere along the way....
Enjoy your evening mse world... love pantherchick xx.0 -
