58k in debt to frugal living..

Inspired by Pennywise I'm going to start logging my decluttering..

I've blasted the kids bedrooms today and have sorted out loads of stuff.. long and short of it, I've got a few fairly big things to sell.. just need hubby to build a few of them for take pics!

Hopefully get a few pennies from those.. waiting for a fbook buyer to collect item, but not hopeful - why can't people just let you know they don't want things anymore!

OP is on fire today.. a 50p survey.. and a few others - over £15 on there now.. one survey away from payout on Ipsos as well.. which I should get when I get the survey to review some shower lotion I am currently trialling..

Making the bank work for their money and have messaged them asking for an outstanding figure on the loan again.. they must groan every time I do it!

DH talked about getting a few chickens yesterday - any thoughts? Our garden is not very big but there is a raised lawn area.. how much grass do they need? We were planning to slab this area and put potted plants on there, so not sure if I want to introduce chucks or not..

Doing well with OP, DFOD - I think I'm back up to £1.55 now. :j :rotfl: Still trying to decide what to pay the £40 I just cashed in off - credit card or loan? Decisions, decisions.

Don't know a great deal about chickens unfortunately - one of my friends used to keep them - he hated cleaning out the coop due to the smell. :eek: The in-laws kept ducks for a couple of years but ended up giving them away as too much work for them (both in their 60s and FIL has a bad back).

Thanks Sashybo - in my tiredness I did just sit there and wonder why he didn't like cleaning out the coop ( I read co-op) and wondered what that had to do with chickens!

We keep getting tempted by the idea of a few chickens in the garden but then 'chicken out'... worry about them wrecking the lawn, and us having one more animal to have to sort out care for when we go away and so on. Would be lovely to have some though, and fresh free range eggs!

Lol Pinkpoppies at chickening out!

Got accepted for tesc0 home panels, so pretty pleased with that.. Got £10 Amazon voucher off a survey site yesterday and 45p off another one.. Will try and save these for Christmas gifts..

Decluttering / selling stuff - Item 1, unused rucksack for little person - sold for £12 on ebay.. money being used to buy a beanbag for their room to encourage reading..

What a miserable day here.. think it'll be a home day to be honest.. we were going to go out but saving petrol and all that..

Defo plan to get stuff on ebay today and also a few things to get on fbook selling sites..

Tinkered a bit with YNAb.. quiet few days with pennies coming and out really..

Lazy day at home here too. Oh well, at least we had a couple of days of half term sunshine! Felt very spring like here yesterday!

The idea of fresh free range eggs is lovely, but the mess, the destruction of the garden, the cost of the feed & housing ...... Nope, Dont do it Buy from a local farm instead
