Becoming My Own Best Friend Instead Of My Own Worst Enemy

ChangingMyWays89

Hey hey xx

Another day, another DD gone out. Just did a £11 study on PA!!! So hopefully that gets approved and paid soon  

Leftover lasagne for my lunch today, followed up by some yummy cheesecake my nan made

No present wrapping or card writing happened yesterday as we all had a super early night last night, so will try again tonight  

Got a few bits to pick up from the supermarket later but it will all come out of the money set aside for groceries so still counting it as a NSD

Hi 
Well done for keeping on track and coming back to keep posting. There is a challenge on the forum of make £10 a day (well you choose how much doesn't have to be 10) which might be useful as you are ebaying and surveying.
You can do this, but just keep doing what you are doing to bust that debt. 🐵🐒🎉🏆

Hi Sam I joined in that thread yesterday but thank you for the suggestion nonetheless

Had an offer on an old watch on eBay tonight and accepted it so hopefully they pay soon. Got 25% of what I paid for it, never worn it but it’s gone funny on the clasps and that’s put me off ever wearing it so 25% is much better than nothing also finally got a bid on a top that has had watchers every time it has listed but never sold. 

Tucked up in bed already. Fun fact, whilst making an eBay pile i unearthed an epilator I’d purchased at some point so tried it last weekend and persevered even though it made me want to cry however, upon using it in the shower tonight to go over bits I missed (wet and dry one) I can confirm it was less painful

Im trying to sort through things I’ve bought and make myself either sell or use them. No point just having things lying around!

Hurrah for the bids.. every little helps. 
Ooouch to the epilator 😂 but to be fair sounds a good idea to use it.

ChangingMyWays89

It is very ouch indeed the first time

Still waiting on the watch buyer to pay up, hopefully that comes in soon. 

Happy Friday readers!

Need to deep clean the house today/this evening as we have some family popping by tomorrow and the messiness has slowly but surely crept in. Ideally I would like to:

- Hoover the whole house
- Mop downstairs & bathrooms
- Clean bathrooms
- Deep clean kitchen sink
- Sort out the "clutter boxes" we have
- Clean the fridge & water dispenser
- Empty, wash & refill our cat's litter box
- General dusting & decluttering

I'll probably get the kids involved with some of it and let them earn a few quid in pocket money, I did the same when I was a child  

Not going to be a NSD today as I need to pick up some sellotape for gift wrapping - rookie mistake to not have known we were running low

Oh at least you will have for Xmas lol always need lots of sellotape 😁

I can confirm the epilators do get easier. I’ve used one for years and don’t feel it now....the first time it’s like cutting off your own skin with a blunt knife! Stick with it, it’ll save a fortune on razors in the long term 😬
I must have another go at finding things to eBay....trouble is sometimes with postage it seems a lot of effort for the small things, but I guess it all adds up!

Oh that is so good to hear! That was my logic, no buying razors or blades anymore

Hola MSE

Busy morning this morning getting the house tidied everywhere, now our feet are firmly up after our family have left a small prolific study has been approved so just waiting on the chunky £11 one and I'll be ready to cash out there

Watch buyer paid up today so posted that off earlier on, too.

Tomorrow unfortunately is going to be all about finishing off the washing and doing the ironing ready for the week ahead. Food shop came in under budget last night which was great news

Not much else to report here, got my confirmed salary for the new job through so going to sit down tonight and tomorrow and work out my budget going forwards

Hi guys

Just a daily check in to keep me on track spent on a coffee today whilst out with OH but also managed to get him a gift card as an extra little pressie whilst in there did some wrapping with the kiddos this afternoon, too.

Time to crack on with the ironing, then I will probably make some more little crafty bits. Need to change our bedding, too, but thanks to our big clean up yesterday morning we are pretty much on top of everything else.

Once the ironing is done and the packed lunches are made, we are ready for the week ahead
