    Thanks Guys :)

    I've been keeping busy this week, we've had quite a few sales which is good, and I'm nearly finished listing all my dvds :D They've been trickling out as well so that's good. Need to sort out totals and see what I can pay towards my targets.

    I did use sales money to fill my car earlier so that was good. My fuel bills have reduced a fair amount with no commute so that's nice combined with the lower fuel prices.

    Sorted out and ironed _pale_ a load of baby clothes and stuck them on Facebook. Doesn't seem to be any interest. They'll probably go to charity, though I've spotted a nearly new sale next month, so I'm tempted to give that a go. I'll have a think about it.

    Thanks retired :) I really want this house and debt cleared!

    Touch wood little miss seems to be a little less unsettled in the evenings at the moment, though she's still waking up as much at night. Fingers crossed we are passed the worst now.

    How are you getting on?

    Well I have finally listed the majority of my dvds :T :T Only ones left now are ones I want to keep for now, or those that are slightly marked which will go for car boot once I watch them and am happy they work.

    I'm not going to leave them on forever, but will give them a couple of relists before I pull them off again.

    Now I can get on with clearing other stuff!

    Just received £3 paypal from a survey site and have redeemed £2.46 from a cashback site.

    Someone's claiming an item not received but I've asked them to wait a couple more days and open a case. Luckily it's only low value but still very annoying!

    Just done the financials for the month, and I'm really pleased with how much I've managed to pay off this month. Hoping I can keep it up or improve on it :T :T
