Thanks tattycath, nothing for me. I do regularly watch the selling allowances though in the hope that there's an offer there"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
Not much going on here. Listed a couple of bits yesterday and one sold overnight :T Posted that today, but haven't sorted out whether I can make a payment or not yet.
DH bought in a load of boxes from the garage the other day, so I need to try and sort through those and see if there's anything ebayable there.
Keeping up with surveys.

Well done on the sales. :j
Fingers crossed you have more stuff to sell from the boxes in the garage.
I don't do surveys...I did, but I seemed to do loads of surveys for little reward so I stopped.
Pinec0ne was good but I don't know how I came to not do pinec0ne anymore...
I need to concentrate on work today.GE 36 *MFD may 2043

Managed to skim read, well done on the decluttering so far! Hooray for little mans own room and good sleeping. well done on the payments so far, fingers crossed you get arrangements from the other debtors. God how time moves on! I feel like I have been battling this journey for a long time I just want it to end il be happy when we sell and clear the secured loan it means we will only have a loan and credit card and when finances resettle we can overpay! I have to say its been refreshing to not have money at the forefront of my mind haha. I think I have another few years left of paying with no overpayments I want to enjoy my children and while I can afford to meet minimum payments I will focus on my family life xI AM A MONEY MAGNET, THEY ARE MAKING MORE MONEY FOR ME AS WE SPEAK:pMIKES MOB, DFW NERD 1071, DFW LHS 132!MIRACLES HAPPEN I'VE SEEN IT WITH MY OWN EYES.

I've sorted 3 of the boxes, one is straight to car boot, 2 have stuff which I have bundled to pop on ebay and see how it goes.
I do surveys in 'dead' time, so on work breaks etc, where I can't do anything. They are time consuming, but it's extra for little real effort. It's also nice when you get things to test of which I've had a few recently.Happytogetdebtfree wrote: »Managed to skim read, well done on the decluttering so far!

Thanks happy, it does seem like it's been forever, with little gain in my case.
It's really hard to balance finances with family life, but luckily little jwil still naps well so I get some time then.
I can't wait to have a clear house, clear finances and time to do what I want!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
Hey everyone
Hope you are all well.
Not achieving an awful lot today as not feeling great.
One ebay item posted, and I received 2 x £10 Sainsburys vouchers in the post today from surveys. I'm going to use one to stock up on tins and storecupboard items, and the other to stock up on toiletries. It's all part of my plan to have a good stash of stuff before I go on maternity leave.
I did make a cake todayFirst time in ages. I decided that the ingredients had all been there for years apart from the butter and eggs, so I'd be better off using them up and getting some fresh ones.
As I'm feeling decidedly unmotivated today I think I shall go and declutter some wool into the rug that I still haven't finished!
Hope everyone is having a good weekend."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
