Cheaps, just been reading through your diary. You are doing weally well with your totals. You will be below your 20K before you know it. I bet you will feel loads better after your holiday. Ive got a load of bits to get on ebay too. im just so lazy with it, then after i listed things i just hate posting them. Oh well i guess it has to be done if im going to shift my debt. Keep up the good work.

Hi Lunar,

thanks for popping in, it means a lot. and sometimes helps to have a fresh prospective on it.:D

Well i have done £4.oo on slice the pie today and listed a few things on ebay, but i have had enough now:rolleyes:

so i'm off to have my strawberries and ice cream and watch the rest of my name is earl:D

Morning all,

Feeling a bit blue today, its payday so should be happy.

We knew that this pay wasn't going to be great and we have quite a struggle this month just to get by never mind save for our holiday in 4 weeks time!!

but hubbys wage is £300 down on what he thought it would be, i haven't worked out the fiqures yet but as we were just going to scrape by, its not going to be good is it.

right off to do it

CHEAP_AS_CHIPS_4

Right well

my spreadsheet shows that we are -£107 for the month and that dosent include food and petrol and hubbys petrol is £70 per week

Right i'm off to indulge myself and have a bloody good cry and then pull myself together and try to sort it out

Hugs hon, it's carp when that happens, have the company offered any advice on why this may be? go to www.whatsthecost.com and put it into their Uk tax calculator and it should tell you accurately what DH's take home pay should be.

Have a big hug love. xxx

Thanks pania,

for the advice and more so the hug

hubby thinks he has just miss calculated his commision. so i just need to go and put all my energy into getting us out of this mess.

once again thanks for the hug x

Oh no, poor you! That's the thing about commision, it is always somehow variable, and never easy to count on. Maybe it's paid in arrears or delayed so might come later, which would be a bonus.

Not much help in the here and now though.

But i know if anyone can handle it, you will babes.

Good grief maz

Just looked at your sig!!, how far down have your totals come!!:j

They only include the things that are still ongoing, there were some others, £3k to Egg, £1000 to various storecards, which are now gone so not in my sig.
Determined to clear everything apart from welcome this year.... i've lost focus lately, so thanks for noticing as you've reminded me.

okay,

i am going to ebay a few more things, they are things i dont want to sell, but i dont have the choice now.

i have a few bits of gold and my mum has offered me some of hers that she hasn't used for years, bless her. so we are going to take that to ramsdens tommorow and see what we get for that.

i have plenty of eggs and beans so me and dh will have beans on toast and egg on toast for the next week

there is plenty of fruit and veg, so i will make lots of pasta for the girls so they will be fine and there is enough for packed luches next week

so i am not going to do a proper shop just a little one for milk and bread.

we are going to do a bootsale not this weekend but next and have loads so hopefully that will pull in 2 weeks petrol and food money.

and anything else i can think of

i have seen metioned somewhere about a playboy offer, i did all the bingo ones but haven't heard of this. does any one know anything about it?

CHEAP_AS_CHIPS_4

Afternoon all,

still feeling a little blue about the money situation today, hubby is taking the gold to ramsdens today so will have to see how much we get.

i am also getting him to take my beautiful gold watch that i got for my 21st, breaking my heart but needs must.

the girls are staying at the grandparents tonight so it will be nice to have some time just me and hubby, we have been drifting apart a lot of late due to having 3 little ones, no money , him working till very late at night and me always on line making money.

so it will be a chance just to be together.

so my list for today is

post an ebay parcel
put washing out
do two loads of washing
do some of ironing mountain
tidy and clean playroom
tidy and clean bathroom
tidy kids bedroom
clean kitchen floor and benchs
photo some things for ebay
do shopping
£5 on slice the pie
