Starting fresh for 2017

Yes, I know it is the 15th of January - but have had a nasty flu infection since just after Christmas and not even had the strength to sit at my computer.

I had not updated my Snowballs since August and payments had been all over the place (I was selling stuff on Facebook/Ebay, so had made extra payments to my highest credit card debt), so decided to start a new Snowball account today.

Great decision, as it is all clear now and I can see a way ahead. My catalogue account will be cleared next month :j That enables me to increase the amount I am paying off the credit cards. I have not left myself much to spend each month - but that will force me to get more readings sold on Etsy (I do Tarot, Lenormand and Crystal Pendulum readings), and also look at my plans to sell other stuff on there.

I can do this!!
