Made a bit of money

Today I sold a vacuum I never used for £35. I need some groceries and fuel for the car.. £10 for groceries, £10 for fuel. I've called NPower to get one of those payment cards you can use at the post office to pay your debt, so when I get that I'll use the remaining £15 to pay a bit of the obscene about that I owe. I also found a £2 coin, I'm going to go to the bank to get pennies for my piggy bank.

Feels good to pay some debt off, even if it is a little amount. :money:

    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

  • Thanks everyone! :money: It feels great to be able to put a little towards a debt and a little in the piggy bank. I'm quite chuffed with myself.

    We've got a few more things in the paper, so I'm hoping they sell too! :beer:

    Nice one on the sales... bet it put a smile on your face :o)
