Shifting this debt one £ at a time.

As I say very new. Don't know how to quote or subscribe or anything but I'll try my best. With my first I didn't see the chiropractor til a year or so after. I kept being told it would be fine and it wasn't as bad as it had been in pregnancy so you get to a point where you don't know what normal is or that pain all day and everyday isn't normal. I saw him quite a few times and got everything back in alignment just in time to fall pregnant again. Had maybe 4/5 appointments during pregnancy and only a few since.
It really depends how your body does spd. Mine completely misaligns and then has a knock on effect to my whole spine to compensate. If you recovered quickly you should be fine I guess. But if you're still suffering I say go. You can be back to pain free - I know I've been there. I pay £38 a time I think because I pay for 3 sessions. When I saw a physio they wouldn't touch me because I was pregnant but some physios are much better so see how you go.

I think I just feel a bit pants because I've sold the bulk of it and it's just trickles now. The jumperoo is glaring at me with its massive-ness taking over the front room. He knows he's here to stay til may probably. The git. The bouncers days are numbered at least lol

Sorry for hijacking your thread but I just want to share 'the answer' as it were. Xx

Don't apologise for hijacking, it's nice to hear from other people! You've given me a great suggestion and if the pain doesn't go I'll certainly try it!

We've got loads to sell, so not running out yet. I feel your pain with the jumperoo. Dreading having to get ours out again, we've got nowhere to put it now! I'm looking forward to being able to clear a lot of the baby equipment as it takes up so much room

Very uncomfortable today so don't think I'll be doing much.

Delighted to spot some free listing, but ebay is being really glitchy and not allowing me to relist stuff. Hope it sorts out soon!

How's everyone doing?

We have been super busy today. DH has been clearing the bedroom for little jwil and I have been moving stuff around downstairs to try and accommodate more stuff temporarily.

Finally we are getting somewhere! It's completely done me in, but will be so much better. I'll have to reorganise what I've done another time, but at least we've made a start. :T

I have also identified a load of stuff for DH to sort through and get rid of, a box of bits for me, and various other items that can be listed and got rid of. It's all at least accessible now so we should be able to get to it more easily.

Three items sold so far this weekend, I did manage to get my relists done as well and have also listed another few items.

We've got auctions going out later today, 8 things going at the moment. Part of me wants that to be all it is, the other part wants it to go up so there's more stuff gone

Hope everyone is well.

Hi Jwil, not good to hear you are struggling with the pregnancy but sounds like not long to go. I am sure you will feel a lot better when the baby room is ready.

I am ok - not saved nearly as much as I could have or what I spent on repaying debt. I seemed to be more careful with money when I didnt have any so trying to get back on track. They should have diaries for people out of debt trying to keep on track. I cant believe this year has gone by so fast. I didnt get into any debt but I didnt nearly reach the savings I had hoped for.

I put a few things on ebay over the weekend as I am trying to declutter still. I struggle this time of year with the transition into 'winter' with the horses. Always feel glum which I have to right to as there are so many others going through far worse. But you start to feel like you live in the dark.

I really admire the way you keep focussed on your list.

No not long to go now thankfully

I've seen plenty of diaries where people are trying to save or at least remain debt free - so definitely start one if you think it will be useful.


Whilst there are lots of bad things happening, and people struggling in all sorts of ways, it's never wrong to feel down or need a moan, it doesn't make your feelings any less valid! It's quite depressing when it's dark and gloomy all of the time.

I'm not great at updating my list - still got a few more bits to add from the weekend and the ebay sales.

Do vent in here if you want to, and if you do start a new diary then let us know so I can pop over

Hey everyone, hope all is well.

Sold a few more items over the weekend, so will update my lists later when they are all posted. Just waiting for one to pay now.

Got a scan this afternoon, so will be able to say hello to baby again (and see if they still think she is a giant!). Also consultant so will see if they have anything to say about the spd.

Not much to report really. DH has been in a big strop ever since Sunday where he doesn't feel like he's achieved anything. It has brought home to him how much stuff he has and although little jwil is now in the correct bedroom, there is still a lot of stuff to find homes for so we can turn it into a proper bedroom. Hopefully it has opened his eyes and he will continue to get rid of stuff.

Finally got paid out for a big survey I did ages ago so have redeemed £15 amazon and £10 sainsburys :T :T Halfway to the next voucher as well now.

Got home to find that one of the dogs has destroyed yet another of Dh's items left around. When will he learn? He's not going to be impressed and the item is worth around £40.

Hey everyone

Trying to make use of the free listings today. DH has prepped a load so will get those on. It's probably the last lot for a few weeks now. Will try and get a few bits on for me as well as I'm desperate for the cash.

Hoping to try and catch up on a few bits today, and sort out some stuff that's been lying around. Also want to see what I need to get for Christmas.

Had another scan the other day, they are now estimating that baby is 9lb _pale_ Hoping they are wrong!

Only a few more days at work, I can't wait to finish now.

Trying to get some washing done and dried today, can't seem to keep up with it at the moment, so have put the heating on to try and clear it.

Will try and update the lists as well.

I wrote to another of my creditors to make an arrangement. They have refused it point blank. :mad: Oh well, they can't have what I don't have so I shall carry on paying them that anyway.

how annoying you would think in these times they would try and help people who are willing to try and pay even pennies off a debt.

9lb sounds big although I am a kg person. Hope the last weeks go quickly for you. Before you know it you will have your hands full.

does baby jwil1 know whats going on - how old is he now?

I know, it's very annoying. I was offering a reasonable amount too, it wasn't pennies! They said it won't cover the minimum payment required. *doh* That's why it's an arrangement, not the payment :wall:

I think 9lb is around 4kg. Little jwil talks about his sister and pats my belly but I'm not sure how much he understands. I think it will be a shock to the system! He is 3 in February.
