Thanks beautiful. I feel sick for spending so much on coffee and cake yesterday!!! But I guess old habits die hard. At least I've looked at it now. In the past I wouldn't have even looked and when I would have I'd have just shoved a bit more to the debt! So I'm pleased that's not happening at least.

I'm not on FB either Missy - and I'm in my 30s Have you tried Schpok to get round the eBay fees? Likewise I get fed up with them, because they always take them back from you light-years after you sold the item and you completely forgot about them and how to budget!

Hi Missy,

Yay to the ebay sales.

ahh what bad luck, but well done on the ebay and the change in your purse! It is so hard to keep at it when things like that hit, but you're doing soo well. Do you and hub have separate accounts? and if so, would he help you out? Do you have any money any where else at all that could help (advantage cards etc?) There are a few decent bank accounts that give you money if you swtich to them but obviously that depends if you want to switch and how fast they pay out. when we moved to halifax it was almost instant and when we moved to M&S it took 3 months xx

Ah thanks purple and Lauren. Sorry for moaning too. It's just been one of those days. I'm going to sit down tonight and go through things. I'll manage! Me and OH do have seperate accounts but I'm pretty sure he hasn't got any spare cash either and he'd already paying the other £36 on the after school fees.
I'll see if he can pay all of it.... But I think he's pretty broke too As the food and petrol credit card were really high this month as I was poorly and he was doing all the shopping. We pay that one off in full every month as it gives us Te£co points.

Looks like with everything, I need to find an extra £200 this month :eek: but like I said I like a challenge. Worst case scenario I can put the CC payments down to minimum which would give me probably £100, but I don't want to do that. It's time to get creative with things!!!!!

So my challenge if I choose to accept it is to not only shop for £10 a week but to also make/find £200 this month!!!!! I can do it!!!!!
