Its great to see so many people posting, talsiker hope you can get back on the ebay wagon, i leave that department to oh, hes more the ebay kid... plus we just recently did a carboot, funny what people will buy... hope your brother gets over from america that would be amazing ......
In relation to debt im using the jars system now and instead of pooling all my cash straight to debt, i have split them up into jars one for financial freedom, this is for investments bonds etc, one for play account this is for me to treat myself etc, ltss, thats where i am putting my cash towards getting debt free and im putting which debt i am targetting on the jar, giving, this is for charities people i see fit to have t he extra heloping hand and cash for birthdays etc and then education this is for seminars books and stuff that help me feel good in relation to the law of attraction etc etc ... so far ive found it great because when i see the cash i want to put more cash in to them and its attracted more cash to us in terms of oh getting jobs etc .... its really helped me put a positive spin on our debts and now im enjoying winning the money game instead of playing not to loose the money game by throwing every last penny on debts i feel like im really making a positive change and this shouldnt really change the dates in terms of length it might make them sooner x

I'm just reading this and you lot have made me feel better. Had a bit of a blow out weekend. seeing friends I haven't seen in ages, lunch out, drinks after....and the amount of petrol just visiting people. I been getting my hough!!!grocery shopping down to £40 a week and hardly spending then I only go and spent £45 yesterday on meal and drinks. Sigh. I guess you just have to get back on that wagon though!!!!

new week, new wagon! Onwards my friend! Can you try and live out of your cupboards (ie have less food shopping) to make up for it. Lovely to have a treat and meet with friends though. I started having people here for food with the added bonus that they bring wine so always works out cheaper than buying a round out plus more relaxed!:D Just a thought...lots of ways to have fun without spending too much but it takes time to find out what works for you/your friends etc...
