Hi September Super Stars,
Another day off at Dowd Towers. :j
Debt Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Two:
* Did RM Surveys.
* Paid off the full bill of the new tv from Savings. Bought on 0% credit card for the additional consumer protection and loyalty points.
* Reconciled Finances Spreadsheet. It had gotten 'out of synch'. I'm richer than I thought!
* Advertised 11 'odd' Poirot DVDs on eBay. Our DVD habit costs us very little as we usually sell some old DVDs before buying new ones.
Live long, live well and prosper.
Debt-free day: 8th May 2015 "Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck," Dalai Llama0 -
My plan for today:
• Ask husband to parcel up the ipad I need to post (already taken money out of paypal so not really going to make me anymore money but don’t want to delay or I’ll get bad feedback)
• Check husband has done washing and hung it out to dry rather than use tumble dryer
• List 5 more things on ebay when I get home this evening. 1 x stereo system, some books, a filter coffee thingie and 2 dresses
• Post dress sold on ebay – money needs to stay in paypal to pay for 3 x postage
• Mourn the fact that I have just spent £70 on clothes for husband’s new job
• Make this darn Jam I keep forgetting about, soup and pitta bread.
• Insist that we have freezer food for dinner no matter how much husband wants a takeaway curry
Today will be a NSD - I just have to resist going out to buy pitta bread for lunch and postage for ebay will come out of paypal accountMoney money money.
