Fab news Laura, you sound really determined x

Thanks Maryland Cookie!!!
I am continuing my positive thoughts... Although I have been quiet I have still been lurking on diaries and being money smart!!

I was given a £40 voucher I won't be using... As the shop is too pricey, which was a gift so I have stuck it on eBay The bids are up to £34 so far I only put it on today
The money made is going straight to the loan, I'm aware it's not always the best option to pay small amounts to loans but if I keep it in my account it will always be needed for other things, so best sending it to the nasty loan I think

Did a sneaky survey before bedtime, creeping nearer to another £10 reclaim, think I may add that to the eBay money... And pay £40 to loan

Also have an eBay selling addiction so I plan to stick more things on this week
11 days till payday hoping to have £90/£100 left think I will split it down the middle and stick half to loan and half to emergency fund!!

Aaleigha

that is quite an impressive amount off the loan if all goes to plan
being nosey what you are you most successful with on ebay sales

and only 11 days left till payday - hope the fridge is stocked well so you can have more nsd

Thanks Aaleigha,

I sell mostly anything, but anything branded (next, monsoon etc) usually reach better amounts.

But any shoes or clothes I haven't worn in the last year go on eBay, I figure even if you get a pound or two it all helps.

Hopefully should be able to achieve my loan goal, I've been really lucky to land a great paid job after years of trying to get it, the bonus's will knock chunks off yearly. But time will tell

Thank you for reading I am trying to be good and remember to keep checking in. X

I started in March for a week then went off on holiday for 2 weeks, started officially a couple of weeks ago and I am really enjoying it it's busy and hard work but the day flys!

Some things just don't sell on eBay... Maybe the right people aren't looking at the items, I relist them a few times.

Update

Not a huge amount to report I claimed £11 into my bank account yesterday which will be making its way to debt

I get paid Friday (I think) not certain as its my first full pay check. So excited to pay some money to the loan, I keep thinking how it will feel to be debt free. By which point I will probably have a mortgage (which is a huge debt) but unsecured debt free will be nice .

My plan is to see what I have left tomorrow doing well this month still have £140 in my account... Unheard of for me!!

I have been really good with the gym and have been going regularly, it's £16.99 per month but for the health & feeling good about myself it's worth it I think.
Will be back Friday with a payday debt clearing update.
