    £190 approx earned as extra this month from selling bits and pieces. 
    One item selling today currently at £46. 
    Another tomorrow is £40
    One on Monday is £10. 
    I’ve only included items with bids on. That should take my total to almost £300 which was my target. X
    September 2017 Debt = £25330

    Starting afresh.

    Two items have sold with £86 waiting. Neither have paid yet. Fingers crossed they pay soon so I can add that to my total.

    Really trying to get my head round things tonight. I’m depriving myself monthly to try and make things work and long term I know that’s not going to work. I’ve not got endless items to sell and I can’t continue to not have my own little pleasures. I don’t mean expensive items. 

    I’ve decided to save heavily until I reach a point I feel comfortable. That will become my emergency fund. 

    Then I’ll save a percentage but not the max and use a little more to pay off the debts

    I’ll ensure I have money for treats and that I’m able to have little spends should I see something I like. 

    I’m hoping that this will help me long term x

    That sounds sensible Willow, depriving yourself will just lead to a big blowout at some point. Better to factor things in that make you happy.
