Time to step up to the plate..

Dilemma... Bootcamp ppl are doing a long w/e of workouts, proper food, meditation, life coaching etc... In Ibiza!! In October. And I really want to go it'd be a total luxury.. And £600 that I could put towards my debts obviously.. So what I was thinking was that I'd do special fund raising towards it, so that it's extra income that I'm using towards it, if that makes sense.. So 3bay (which I hate doing), Dumtree, FB etc and maybe even a carboot or two. What do people think? Am I mad for even considering it?

That sounds superb Steppie - you've got time to get the funds together!! Sell, sell, sell......!! (says she, who can't face the bay of E at the moment and has totally run out of inspiration for things to sell, I've just put that on my own diary LOL!)

Ok then HB let's set ourselves a mini challenge.. We've got all wk to get a 3bay pile together and then on Sunday we must list! How does that sound?! Winner is the one who makes the most after the auctions have finished on Sunday 21st

I'm up for it Step, but it'll have to be after I get back from my Dad's - can't do it while I'm down there!! (going Thurs)

Feel free to get started this week anyway though & we'll have the challenge a different week!:j:j

Another small OP to CC1 today.. Counting down the days til Payday on Monday a very tight month, and I'm trying really hard not to go back into the OD on my account. Not helped by DH :mad: sigh....

Not too much to report otherwise. Am looking round the house trying to find things I can sell. Dad is back staying with us as he's got a pre-op tmrw, and the operation (prostate) itself next Monday. He's nervous but trying not to show it. Bless.

Step that trip sounds absolutely amazing. Eat Pray Love style.

Some things are so worth it and that seems to be one of them to me. Make as much as you can, but remember to try and get cashback on anything else and add that to your total too.

Bless your dad. Sending him all my love and good thoughts! xxx

Thanks too for your thoughts for my Dad, Lilty. Glad Jelly seems better, hope you get a better night tonight xx

Hi all :hello:
A good day today.. Had an interesting day at work. I thought I had handled a situation not quite as well as I might, with the potential for it all to go publicly pearshaped. It's turned up on a local FB page as I'd feared, but all the comments are very positive, so I'm very relieved!
A friend asked for help, and I did. Love that I can. And my Dad's pre-op assessment went ok I think. So a good day. As far as MSE goes, my regular DD to CC1 has gone out too, so sig amended. Hurrah!

The trip sounds amazing Stepup and definitely something worth saving for. Good luck with the fleabaying, I really need to get my backside in gear and sort some more stuff out in my house. I hate clutter, don't really have a lot of 'stuff', but am aware that the wardrobes could do with a good sort out, as could Ds's clothes and toys that are now too small for him. I would much rather be outside when the weather is this nice though, that's my trouble!

Hope your Dad gets on ok too lovely.
