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

Hee hee, that's a nice surprise - a bit like finding an expected tenner in your pocket only much much better :j.

You are doing an amazing job, Jwil, and you're a great inspiration to me, you deserve a nice surprise like this .

Thanks tattycath. I had two offers showing. I used one and then the other was charging me so I got in contact with them and they have refunded all the charges :T I figured it was a glitch so it was a nice bonus to have the 200 It means I have relisted most of my stuff now. Fingers crossed for some sales.

It's been a while since I've put anything new on ebay so must do that this week. I've managed to relist a lot over the weekend, so am pleased about that. I've sold a few of those items as well so that's good.

I'm very close to redeeming £15 on amazon from a survey site so will keep an eye out for surveys from that company. I also received £5 amazon voucher so will use that to order some postal boxes from amazon as I'm running low now.

Work is still crazy busy but hoping that will calm down after this week, so I'll have a bit of breathing space again.

Little jwil is now 2. So it now feels like any progress we made in the house has been outweighed by all the new toys. I'll have to have a look through and see if there is anything he has outgrown. I must say I'm looking forward to the toys being slightly less bulky as he gets older.

We had a nice day out with him at the weekend, so he enjoyed that though we wound up spending more than expected. We don't do it often though so we don't mind.
