Hi Pollyanna24!
The fizzy juice is for me. A wee vice. I have one glass watching the tv at night. I buy only a bottlechecking on the my account section a week but I think it has become a habit. I've had tea instead!

No gumtree where I stay which is a shame as I have loads of stuff. I suspect you might get a bill from ebay for your fees. they take 10% of everything you sell and postage value. They take the money out of your paypal roughly every 4 weeks. They do email an invoice to your ebay email in the middle of the month. Might be worth you checking the my account section?

off to find your diary! x

Oops, never realised that! It said it was £0,00 to list them. I have only sold two things recently, so will wait and see. I know Paypal took money off what people put in my account, but I hoped that would be it.

I don't have a diary on here. I did have one on the mortgage free wannabe, but haven't posted on that in months as my situation has kinda changed. I'm madly trying to have enough money for a deposit on somewhere. I know my signature looks like I have loads, but I'm a single mum working part time, so won't get a great mortgage, and 2 bed properties in my area go for around £200,000!

So, I am going to give myself a pat on the back. I have just added up what I have spent on the children for xmas and it works out at a combined total of £56:j now last year I bought DD one item which cost £100 so this is a massive difference. I have been really savvy, only buying sales and using vouchers but even I didn't realise I'd managed to get it all so mse! Even better, they are getting stuff they asked for!

I'm thinking that this is the last year where I can get away with the girls not demanding stuff (they are 6 and 4). From here onwards, they will make lists I should imagine.

My dad has gone in the loft at his house and found a whole heap of stuff from my childhood, so this weekend I'm going to go through it all and a lot of it will be their Xmas presents as I can't afford much this year. I have bought them stuff, but most of it is charity shop finds.

Back from a very expensive wedding. We had a nice time but the money it hs cost us to go would have paid for a family holiday!Thankfully no more events on the horizon.

Paying things off has stalled. Minimums paid on cards plus a little extra. Will update when the interest is added. My 342 card is receiving a small payment every day..20p here...21p there... it is going in the right direction though. Christmas does get in the way though.

Sold a dress on ebof ay for £5. Will pay that of the cc.
Found a pot to start saving change for next christmas.

Hope everyone is getting on okay!
