lilmissmup's debt free diary!

I know, when i think about owning my own house and decorating it, it makes me want it NOW. I like interior design, so would love the chance to decorate my own place. I was in IKEA the other day and they had so many lovely pictures, i wanted to buy them all!!!! lol. I could spend all day in IKEA getting bits for the home. Do you have an IKEA near you?

Do you know what you'd like to do if you had a child?

lilmissmup

I would maybe like to get into childcare or looking after animals which would be my dream job, i did look into going back to college to study animal care but it would be a full time thing but if i was off work anyway i could maybe do some part time study on it.

I think i would be a stay at home mum for a couple of years anyway as with childcare costs working part time would prob not be worth it and i don't want to miss out on anything by working full time but i could study whilst doing that, an evening course or something.

We have an Ikea nearby but i don't want to spend any money on this house as its not ours lol.

Right managed to spend 78p on take a break mag today and 49p on a packet of squares crisps, i swear they were only 30p a month or so ago :eek:

Just failed to meet the criteria for £7 worth of surveys but did a toluna one thats prob worth about 30p lol.

My TCB e-cheque has cleared today though so now have £243.99 in papal with a few eBay items ending tomorrow and ordered another £10 John Lewis voucher today from Paypal.

I need to ring the orthodontist and see if i have the pay the £400 on my appt on the 29th July or the main one on 5th August, hoping its 5th so i have some more time to earn some money, must ring them tomorrow.

Can open up my eBay dispute tomorrow too but then have to wait 8 days for them to close it so i can relist or do a 2nd chance offer but i might just relist and put the extra voucher on too.

EDIT: Also keep seeing pregnant women everywhere....

Hi Lilmiss,

Cant believe that buyer didnt pay for your vouchers, i dont understand why they bid on things with no intention on buying them at the end. It makes no sense!

Well done on saving up your money for the braces your nearly there!

On the baby front my hormones seem to have clamed down for now, its horrible feeling so broody when you know its not the right time yet.(house wise).

thepinklady

Hiya,

I guess your noticing pregnant women more because you want to be. Your time will come lil miss, and when it does you will have your own gorgeous house, with a lovely garden for the little un' to play in. It will be very special.

Awww thanks hun xxx

Right made another £11.40 on eBay tonight (might be more after posting costs), i am wondering about stopping using paypal though, seem to pay so much in fees :rolleyes: Although its money i didn't have before and its quick but still a pain!

Kinda annoying its going on my braces and not debt but too late to change it now

Hiya,

I thought i was working at the charity shop today but got there and wasn't needed so doing next Saturday instead.

Been having a look on eBay for dress for my friends wedding on the 2nd, found a gorgeous one so emailed seller asking if they do BIN but looking at there profile they seem to go cheap anyway, just doesn't end until next Sunday and worried i won't have anything in time

Need to figure out what Nick can wear too, was watching Gok Wan the other night and apparantly Tesco do a £24 washable suit so might go there looking for him, hes very much a jeans and t-shirt guy and wears those to work too so he has no really nice smart clothes, he has a few £10 primark black trousers but they are all a bit grim tbh!

And he needs black shoes..... argh all money!

Anyway as i am not at the shop today i am gonna see if i can earn some more dosh!

lilmissmup

No money being earnt today, spent £9.99 of my paypal money on a pair of black shoes for Nick for the wedding off eBay which he should pay me back, 2nd hand but look smart and he will prob only wear them a few times a year anyway.

Oooo i did a survey for 75p and 5 reviews on Bview, i need to do 10 more to try and get a £10 amazon voucher for my Dads birthday pressie.

Think i am gonna list that camera and printer on eBay too, Nick said i could the other night but hes moaning he wants the money now, it was a present to him but hes never used it!

lilmissmup

Had a very lazy weekend and not done much moneymaking at all! But had a nice day watching DVDS today.

Been panicking about how we are going to get through August what with spending £500 on my braces, £400 upfront and then first £100 payment plus my friends wedding (need outfits and present and petrol money for my dad who i have asked to take us there and back) then Reading Festival!

I think i get paid before Reading but still worried, i am not going to able to leave the house again apart from the wedding, getting cabin fever from just going to work and then coming home all the time

lilmissmup

More things to worry about.....Nicks probably going to lose his job at the end of the month as basically the old owners have screwed him and another guy over and they can't afford to keep it running.....

I don't know what we are going to do, i cannot support us.....:o

Best keep on eBaying.....:(
