17 Listings done :T I'm not that hopeful of some of them as they are big books, but at least I'll give them a chance until car boot season starts and if they sell it's a bonus."If you can dream it, you can do it". Walt Disney0

That's a big "to do" list. You have certainly motivated me to get going a bit more.
Good luck with it all.:)DMP 2015 £57,549, now £36,112 (37% paid)

Well done with the listings on ebay.
When we cancelled Virgin tv we saved £28 a month and didn't miss it at all as all the channels and programmes were rubbish anyway. I definitely think Netfl!x is worth the money though as they show some really good stuff for a lot less money.
I'm on PAYG with O2 and for £10 a month I get 2 GB of data, 5000 texts and 500 mins of talk time. This suits me as I use mobile data and texts mainly, so I think it's quite good for the price. They don't roll over though, so it's use it or lose it.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally
Debt in July 2017 = £58,766 😱 DEBT FREE 31 OCTOBER 2017 :T 🎉
EMERGENCY FUND 1 = £50/£5,000. EMERGENCY FUND 2 = £10/£5,000.
CHRISTMAS SAVINGS = £0/£500. SEF = £1,400/£12,000 PREMIUM BONDS ME = £350. PREMIUM BONDS DH = £300.

Thank youI made a start today. It helps me, as if it's on the list I want to tick it off rather than just forget about it

Thank youI like that you can cancel netflix any time so if we don't use it it doesn't matter, we can cancel it rather than being tied into a contract.
That's a good deal on O2. On giff gaff for £7.50 I get 2GB data, unlimited texts and 250 minutes. I mostly use the Wifi at home and hate speaking on the phone so that suits me down to the ground. I like that you can switch plans each month though so go up a level or down a level at will."If you can dream it, you can do it". Walt Disney0 -
We love Netflix. If you haven't already watched them, I'd recommend The Crown and The Good Place amongst many others.0% card was £1126.91 / Now £1502.37

Hey JWIL, I have so much to catch up on on your diary but have just read the last couple of pages. Well done on the eBay sales! I too have been watching Marie kondo it’s that that has spurred me along. Also on Netflix is minimalism and consumed, both amazing at making you look at your stuff and realising you don’t need half of it! Loving your categories, think I need to do that!0
