    Hey!

    Hey hey, finally i have a bit of an update! I've paid £50 off the credit cards for minimum payments(0% cards). I have £100 ready to be transfered into new ISA on 6th April and have been busy mystery shopping like mad recently. I used to hate the phone shop shops but now i can do them fairly easily, makes me realise that when i take out a contract phone for my business i'm gona drive for a really hard bargain, because the more you say your unsure, the more their willing to offer you!

    It's half term next week so hopefully i will get plenty more opportunities to do some money saving, not to mention working on my new business. Start my new job soon so really need to get my business up and running.

    Decided to list a few dusty dvd's I don't watch on Amazon. One sold within 5 minutes! Ok so its only £2.50 ish profit but I'll be looking to see what else I can list!!!!!
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    Wow, that's a quick sale, I'm really sad about DVDs though, I like keeping them :o

    Is it sad that I'm excited that our DMP payment is going up a bit? :rotfl:

    Gemmzie, thats not sad. :o

    Listed some more DVD's this morning. Don't know if they'll sell as quick though. Hope so. The way I see it is if I haven't watched them in the last six months, they go. only a couple of pounds profit but better than nothing.

    Hi all
    Ive not really got alot to report untill I get my credit card statements which is near the end of the month. One of my loan payments comes out today which is good. On the bad side I have had to increase my overdraft limit due to my OH buying a motorbike and needing insurance and because he got his bike he was a bit short on the mortgage payment so Ive had to pay that. Oh and Council Tax!!! Hes giving me the money back next month but it makes it really tight this month, thats why I increased it and Im going to pay it off next month.
