    Good news on the sale - £39 is good!!


    I literally have so much stuff I need to sell, I have wedding stuff stashed away from when I nearly got married once.... I realised luckily before it happened that I was making a mistake, but still have all the Tiara and shoes etc to sell ha ha. Think it would feel extremely wrong to ever re use it when I get married for real.


    You are making good progress, Money can be so tough at times especially if you don't have much of it, but once the debt is cleared your situation will be better so will mine :D We just need to keep going, small steps and small payments will eventually clear it.

    Thank you!!!!!
    That is so funny, that is exactly what I will be doing.... checking out which presents i am not that interested in, and sticking them on eBay he he!
    I have been a little naughty on the spending front - Nothing drastic but I really did need some new jeans and a new jumper.... I was going to freeze this winter otherwise!

    I have managed 2 hours overtime too at work, which is rare. Hoping to rack up a little more overtime before the end of the month, it all helps :D
