    Another £120 in bank ready to pay off loan. Seeing the end now! Going to go for a really hard push and try and clear in 4 weeks now, doable as long as nothing blows up.

    Few eBay selling going through later and hoping for a few more bids :-)

    Well feeling good about my position paying off the debts.

    Today I had two bigger items sold and collected from the house. Another £10 into the pot chic Ching wasn't sure if they would move but took a chance, gumtree n local Facebook page hadn't worked. I would off liked a few extra pounds for the item but weighed against time wasters and hassle free it was worth it.

    £4 in tips into the pot

    Found £2 on the floor too.

    Not updated the holiday amount, but about £300 left to pay now.

    Done a few surveys, not hit this big yet as still lots to eBay, it's amazing how much junk we have. It normally just ends up in the loft. I would like to do a car boot at some point, but convincing other half may be another thing lol. Once sorted the storage area may start some boxes for a car boot.

    Listed a bundle Sylvanian families items, I hoping it bring at least £30 but it's hard to tell from previous auctions. Seam so up and down! Put couple off pictures on, only be going in bin as trying not to hoard so hopefully I may get a couple off ££££

    All these little bits are really adding up and I'm getting a little addictive. Love hearing the eBay beep go off on my I pad.

    So starting the next £100, got about £12 so far. Don't think there be much going on next couple off days accept listing on eBay, not anything major on there at the moment. Will be one small sale today, but who knows may get lucky :-)

    Loan direct debit went out today, so that brings it down to appoix £486 (rough guest on what interest will be added on)

    Got appoix £45 towards the next £100 repayment so far, haven't got any big items on eBay this week apart from Sylvanian lot, but that's touch and go. Would like £30 but could go for £10, 4 days to see.

    So today I'm off to town to pay £200 off holiday, will be getting to the final payments off that too! It will be about £300 left to pay after today, but confused myself so will have to see when I nip in and pay.

    Need to get some eggs today to complete Easter (£5 £1 eggs) not going crazy this year as had eggs for months last time. Also need a lightbulb and some food for picnic Saturday, thinking a flan, £1 chocolate cake and maybe some biscuits. Will just make sandwiches with what's in.

    Entertainment wise for the kids today is making some sandwiches to take with us and going to the cancel feed some swans and ducks. Also will be walking town today as the weather is lovely and sunny, o/h said he will take us back home if we walk to his work, which is close by.

    Only got £15 left so must get everything with that!

    Had a lovley cheap day at the river and threw in some visits to friends as well. Managed to get everything I needed with the money left.

    Will be making another payment off the loan today! Depending on if I can get to the bank or not depends on how much I can pay off.

    Off too monkey Forrest tomorrow, got pretty much everything I need for a picnic. Just need a loaf and some ham. Got lots off nibbles I can cook (kitchen sent me a load when downsizing at another pub, forgot it was there til yesterday - free food yey)

    Had a break from paying the loan this week, brought some new clothes for children and a few bits for the house (things to make my life easier)

    Only got one remainder payment on the holiday next week then we're done!

    Booked a week off end off May so trying to scrap some money together to go away with children, in desperate need of a rest now and staying in the pub it isn't going to happen. Going to be hard but will put all spare money from wages towards that.

    So not much will be going off debt so going to move the moment ent on eBay again, delisted some items tonight and will try and put on at least one item every day again. I just seam to keep finding more stuff!!

    I may whack the eBay sales off my c/c for a while now as easier to pay the odd £10's off and no temptation to spend it then. My loan will be paid by November now wheat her I make additional savings or not, and the interest is really reduced as much lower amount. Paying small amounts off something will keep me going on my debt free journey x
