Shifting this debt one £ at a time.

HarrysMummy

I've just rea through the lst few pages and I seriously don't know where your energy seems to come from.

I hardly seem to have time to list one thing on eb*y while runnign round after dude and keeping the house tidy-ish!

Must take note and get more things listed on eb*y, I don't have masses to sell but dude outgrows clothes in what seems like day so I have a mountain of almost new clothes I need to list.Thanks for spurring me on and keep up the good work.

I like your little goals for the month, that seems like a good idea. Not sure it would work for me but it certainly looks like a motivator as they all go down!

As I create space at the moment, it's being filled with something else. I will then revisit areas again and see what else I can do. I guess I'm focussing on discarding rather than organising everything. As everything reduces in quantity I shall see about organising things better.

That is precisely the Marie Kondo philosophy - discard stuff and only then think about organising what's left - you are doing the right thing so keep on doing it.

I need to get back to Kondo-ing, I've neglected it for ages. Plan to do clothes first. Plenty of stuff to get rid of, belonging to all members of the household. I'm looking forward to a tidy and decluttered house. I am still throroughly enjoying the drawers that have been Kondo-ed - the knickers, socks, gloves and hats are all beautifully displayed .

You have been amazingly industrious as always, Jwil. One day, I will actually follow your example and ebay some stuff!

That's great jwil :T you're doing really well!
I've managed to get rid of a few bulky items lately. Took some stuff to charity yesterday too. So I've made a bit more space - kind of. It's an area I use for stuff that's either waiting to go to charity or that is listed on the bay.

Thank tattycath, well done on clearing the bulky items!

Thanks Harrysmummy, I am exhausted! I get up at 5.30 so try and do a lot before little jwil gets up. I also do as much as I can while he's asleep.

I also do photos and stuff while he's not around, and if he's engrossed in something, I can get a couple of bits uploaded.

I schedule my listings so that whenever I want to put them up I go and change it to upload immediately. It means I can do the listings at stupid hours, but they are not live at stupid hours.

Yes, I don't do the whole 'everything in one category' though.

I love the difference in mine and little jwil's clothing though, it's amazing! I'm still no good at putting away straight away, but when I do it's all nicely folded again.

I've still got miles to go though

Hey everyone, work is crazy busy at the moment, so not much time to get on here.

Am still continuing with the ebaying and surveys. Payday tomorrow, hurrah!

I've redeemed £5 amazon and £3 paypal from a survey site. Must check the other to see if I've made the £15 for amazon yet.

I hope to do much better next month payment wise.

I don't think I'm going to do anything else payment wise this month, so will set my targets for next month (I always start my month at payday).

1. [STRIKE]£999[/STRIKE] - £999 HS
2. [STRIKE]£74[/STRIKE] - £74C1

Ooh, just checked my credit report and I must have forgotten to write down a loan payment. I've knocked £300 odd off the balance without doing a thing

As that's up to the end of last month, the reality is it's probably even lower as it doesn't include last months payments, but I'll leave it as it is for now and have another nice surprise in the future

jwil

1. [STRIKE]£999[/STRIKE] - £999 HS
