    Reverse shopping is the best sort!
    Returned online order, so £30 refund on it's way to Dibs card.;)
    Returned two bras which fell apart and exchanged for new - they were only 9 weeks old, even the lady in the shop was surprised at all of the wires popping out. Not as surprised as I was!!;)
    Listed 5 items from my bag of stock on the bay of e, seem to be popular so hoping for a few sales there by the end of the day.;)
    Cashed in £5 on swaggy. RDF has reached a lovely total of £104!! RDF is made up of free cash - bay sales, bank bonus £5 and swaggy cash so it's great to have earned that in a few months.:money:
    On the spendy side, had to buy bday cards, cake for work & shopping so £20 spend.
    I'm FINALLY getting the oven fixed today :)I'm using the rdf cash for it, plus £7.50 for toothbrush heads (on offer in sup@rdrug if anyone is interested- usually £18ish so had to grab them!)
    So goodbye RDF, you have served your purpose and I promise I will build you up again:rotfl:

    :mad:Hello, what a week!
    Chronic Fatigue is certainly back, no doubt about it. Felt so ill alll week and don't really know how I managed to turn up at work and function, but I did. Of course it comes at a cost and certainly a financial one but I have to accept that. The main thing is to keep working and keep my job, the second thing is to pay off debt.
    So a good few lunches out (omg had the best veg moussaka I mean I'd get into debt for it, it was so good and only £5). I'm currently running at :
    Owe £111 on dibs, no payment due until Aug
    Have £50 in the bank (fd)
    Have £73 in rdf (some tcb cash came through this week), plus some bay sales)
    It's tempting to use the rdf to pay dibs but I will try not to...
    Of course the b'day and hair fund is untouched, so I can still afford to pay my hairdresser in 2 weeks, and buy my friend a b'day present. So can I last on the £50 for 2 weeks? Experience tells me that I probably can't, but let's give it a good go!:rotfl:

    Good luck with your targets. I've got around £80 for 2 weeks and 3 days. It probably is possible once bills are taken care off. I've just never tried before so I am a bit nervous! Its sort of like 1 hour at a time isn't it. Might be due a bit of a splurge once pay day arrives. xxx
    2017- 5 credit cards plus loan
    Overdraft And 1 credit card paid off.

    2018 plans - reduce debt

    Yup went out and splurged about £30. Needed food shopping, then I went to £land and went a bit off-list and bought some treats. Also bought some treats for Mum when she comes next. I am supposed to have a lunch out this week, and will need a few pounds for next weekend. I hope hope hope there are no emergency spend situations!!!!

    4 day week, hooray!
    Lunch to work on 3 days. Today I had croissant at a business breakfast then a team lunch out, such nice treats and all at once.
    Health has picked up a bit which is always a relief. No major cash in or out, £25 remaining for the next 10 days. Inbox£ just shy of £10, swaggy at 420, first pinec0ne survey done. Started fe@turepoints, at 2000 need 4500 for £5 amazon voucher. £20 worth of items on the bay. Electric bill has shot up by 50 % so time to find a new supplier via tcb of course!

    Oh I hate it when I have a episode as I call it as I worry about people thinking I'm lazy so I push myself harder which makes things worse but hubby is very supportive when it occurs xx
