Say No to Credit Cards Diary

Say_No_to_Credit_Cards

Good morning everybody

Two small ebay sales yesterday with £7.43 profit after fees and postage. Total now at £131.54 / £300.

Tea sorted for tonight. Food budget is going great. When I am cooking in the evening I have started sorting out the kitchen cupboards. In the back of the cupboard I had five boxes of tea. Why do I have five boxes of tea? This just shows that I really need to start being more organised and not over buy.

So my new thing is become more organised and use what is in the kitchen cupboards before I hand over any cash in the supermarket.

I have come to the conclusion that this whole journey is about taking control and being organised. So I am going to do just that.

Any ideas of healthy cheap meals would not go a miss if anybody has any ideas that would be great.

Take care everybody and have a great day

Good afternoon,

enthusiasticsaver - Thank you for dropping by. I cannot believe I am at this point and it is only the 6th June. I really want to do another car boot sale this weekend if I have enough time to get more stuff together. If I could manage it that would be great for my extra income total.

Scott-Weiland - What you are doing sound amazing. Please pm I would love to see that. I went to bootcamp last night. It was a really tough session and the heat did not help. I really would love to see some photos of what you do as it just fascinate me.

I have just had a look at ebay and I have had another two sales today, not worked out the profit jet, but life is good.

Take care everybody

No problem i will pm you tonight as i have just got in from nightshift and the gym.

Good morning guys

Well the sun is shinning once again. I really cannot believe this weather it is amazing.

Another week nearly over, where is the time going.

Two weeks ago I saw this large bag of dog food in Asda that said first one free. So I purchased it and went and registered to claim the £9.95 back. Well today it has hit my bank account. This is something that I really would never have done before LBM. I only feed my dogs a small amount of this type of food so this bag is going to last me about two months which is great for the food budget.

Today is going to be use up what is left in the fridge day. So everybody will be having something different for tea. I just love days like this as I feel like I am not really using anything.

I have got an hours overtime again today, which is great I know it is one one hour but better than nothing. Next week I have been put down for three extra hours so it will all add up.

Keeping up with my payment a day from CC4. So each day I round down my bank account and make a payment. I find it keeps me focused on the debt as each day you are revisiting it, which is good for me.

Aims for next week are:

Short out another cupboard in the kitchen and start using the stuff in them instead of buying it.
Meal menu for the week
List more stuff on Ebay
Finish sorting the garage out.

I hope everybody has a great day and amazing weekend.

Good Morning guys,

It is weekend again, I cannot believe how the weeks are flying by, it will soon be Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another sale on ebay so another £5.50 in the pot after fees and postage taking my new total of extra income up to £137.04, nearly half way there.

Today I have a long list of things to do:

Meal plan for the week after checking the freezer,
Shopping for food,
List more stuff on ebay,
Pack the car for a car boot sale tomorrow.
Clean the bathrooms.

Done my hours overtime yesterday, so that is an extra two hours this week. I am down for an extra three hours next week so it is creeping up very slowly but going in the right direction.

Take care everybody and have a great day.

Mentioning the C word before September can get you booted off the forum lol

Well done on the ebay sales have a nice weekend.

Hi Everybody

Scott-Weiland - Thanks for dropping by. Is that a forum rule about mentioning Xmas before September? LOL

Car loaded up. I don't think I could physically put another thing in it. I just love all of this decluttering. I just hope I have another good day at the car boot sale tomorrow. If it is like last time I would be made up. I still cannot believe I made £220 selling all the junk / amazing quality stuff.

Any way must go and carry on. Have a great weekend guys.

Good Afternoon,

Well, home from the car boot sale, what an amazing day it has been.

I really cannot believe how much money I have taken this morning. Went at 7 am and I was home for 11.30am so not too bad.

Back to money, I am still amazed at this £290 for all the old junk and c**p in my garage. It was so busy and had one sale after another after another. I have come home with one small box, which is fantastic.

So I cannot believe I am saying this but I have smashed my £300 extra income this month already and it is only10th of the month.

I feel like going out to celebrate, but I am not that extra cash is being deposited into the back tomorrow and being paid off CC4.

I hope everybody is have a great day.

Take care

Toni'sfriend

Well done. That's amazing.

That's brilliant - I was reading your diary the other evening - the joys of an insomniac toddler and was wondering how you'd Got on.

Morning Everybody,

This sound very strange but I still feel on a bit on a high from yesterday. I cannot believe I came home from the car boot sale with £290. The garage is looking amazing for the first time in years.

Toni'sfriend - Thank you for dropping by

wishingthemortgaheaway - Thank you for dropping by. I remember those days my daughter used to get up at 5am every morning, it was a killer at the time. However, she did used to go to bed at 7.30pm every night which was nice so I took it you cannot have it both ways. It will get better as they get older.

Well food for today all sorted and the food budget is going well up to now.

Doing an hours overtime today, Wednesday and Friday so that is adding up.

Right, must dash as I have to be in morning very very soon.

Take care everybody and have a great day.
