    Oh dear, the surveys seem to be a bit slow lately, I was getting quite a few but now they've slowed down, I managed to get a few search words yesterday, can't remember what they were now I've got such a terrible memory

    How did it go with your stall, any luck ?
    Total 15th April '15 :£12594.00 :eek:

    Don't give up, when you've reached the bottom the only way to go is back up
  • I sold one jar of strawberry Jam and got a bee sting for it.....social anxiety, they were looking as I got back from the farm shop so I tried going around the corner and climbing the embankment to get home....

    Cold, gloomy wintery day here, where did the sun go !
    Ds1 is home today with a temperature poor thing

    Top up shop in lidl today £9.05 I was a bit disappointed I thought it would have been a bit less than that but it was probably the bakery bits that topped it up ! I really must put a peg on my nose and walked passed with my eyes closed, all that fresh baked bread and delicious looking cakes get me every time :mad:

    Haven't heard from the garage yet, that usually either means they are waiting for a part or it's all been done and they haven't had a chance to ring me.

    Checked my bank and updated the book of doom, all looks ok, most bills have been paid the rest should go out in the next two weeks, couple more debt payments went out bringing my total down a teeny bit more, by Friday I will have paid off my first £1000 :D oooooh I can't wait it's so exciting :D

    So today I have to
    Read, read, read
    List all ebay bits
    Say hello to the ironing again :)

    And I'm happy because
    My top up shop would have cost a lot more if I'd gone to te$co like I used to :)
    my total is on its way down :D

    Looking at your excitement over paying off £1000 on Friday is infectious! Hope you make it. I used to get excited about spending cash. Now I am in the early days of debt busting and I am so excited at each step to get the debt down.

    This can't last. Or can it.

    I was the same I used to love spending our hard earned money and now I just can't wait to spend it on bills ! :rotfl: funny how things change isn't it, but I much prefer the feeling of knowing everything is paid and the debt is going down, I think its much nicer than the few minutes excitement over a new pair of shoes or a meal in a restaurant, debt busting has made me quite boring :D
