    Fantastic sunny morning today .... washing on the line and second load in yay ! Hopefully save a bit of electric as it's been whizzing up lately :eek:

    Just checked PayPal and made a payment of £130 from my eBay sales last night :T I still have about £50 worth to be paid for and a couple of things finishing tonight so fingers crossed :D

    I am chuffed to bits with my payments this week and I think I'm going to venture into the loft to see what I have to list lol

    Apart from postage costs which I don't include today should be a NSD ;)
    I think I'm going to go through the freezer and cupboards and plan next weeks meals using some of the us stuff I picked up last night .. I have £23 cash in my purse and gonna see if I can get away with just spending this :o

    Have a fab day everyone out there ... :j:j:j:j

    RhiBi it's so worth it .. I can't believe the stuff people buy lol

    Mummy bear .. Congrats on the twins . mine are 15 now and I have enjoyed every minute of it (even the very trying Ines lol) I think having twins is so special as they have such a great bond and do some very funny things (even now my two sort of have their own wave length !!!9786;!!!65039;.
    Make sure you take it easy and accept all the support from friends and family that's offered !!!55357;!!!56841;

    Beanie thanks I'm loving ebaying at the minute !!!9786;!!!65039; .. just running out of things to sell .. I don't think I'd get much for two 15 year old boys lol

    Thanks for joining guys ... it's nice to know people are there x

    Another £120 busted this morning from last nights eBay sales ... whoop !

    I'm mega impatient though as only £90 and the cc will drop to the 5000s .. yay !
    I'm waiting on about £60 worth to be paid so fingers crossed .. then if I can do a mega low shop I might be able to drop into the 5000s ;)
    If not hey ho ... I'll get it next week :)

    Just thought I've got a scratch card from Christmas that has £10 on it .. gonna cash in on my way to work then only £80 to get

    So I have had a think and I'm going to try to get another £40 this weekend instead of the £90 ... I think it's a bit more realistic and it means I'll still drop to the 18s for total debt :T

    So another £50 busted today from last nights payments .. whoop !

    Next week is a slow eBay week but I'm planning on having a rumuge to see what I can list for the week after ;)

    That £50 now takes me to a total of £860 paid off cc and £200 mortgage op since my light bulb moment Easter weekend ... my debt is now under the 19s ... I am sooo chuffed I almost forgot to update sig lol

    Hope you are all having a great weekend, my guys are at their dads and I'm all alone and just finished J2 shift this morning. I always say I'm gonna chill and have a day off but I get board so will probably end up rummaging for eBay stuff this afternoon lol ...

    Thanks beanie .. it's so addictive .. I'm getting ready to head into the loft now and praying I make it out alive lol

    It's a slightly overcast but warm day here today and I am sooo planning a NSD I have all foods in that I need and while the oven is on later I will make a quiche for this weeks lunches :T

    Boys are due back from their dads this afternoon and I'm gonna put a cake in the oven x

    I am so determined and next week I have no planned money coming in and only 18 things listed (so far) ;)
