Will post some pics later.Am volunteering at a gym in sheffield today (in the hope it will lead to bigger and better things) and it gives me ample opportunity to sit in front of computer all day, all be it slow and steady. so no debt news although I have already started planning my budget for next month and am starting to get more extra inclome ideas together. Got some free seeds at the weekend which I'm going to try and grow and sell a bedding plants at the car boot.I MUST MUST MUST do a car boot this sunday and get rid of this enormous pile of stuff in my office. Those of you who've ever done one before...I don't know if you've found this but as soon as I say i'm going to do one ten people turn up with bags of stuff for me to sell!!!!So not only am I storing my own crap but everyone else's as well!!I will do a car boot on sunday.....I will do a car boot on sunday.....I will do a car boot on sunday.....I will do a car boot on sunday.....I will do a car boot on sunday.....I will do a car boot on sunday.....I will do a car boot on sunday.....I will do a car boot on sunday.....I will do a car boot on sunday.....I will do a car boot on sunday.....I will do a car boot on sunday.....

    HI Laura, this is the first time I've seen your diary but Ill keep reading now.

    Check http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ for a 5 day forecast for your postcode area.

    I'm dying to do a carboot too - and like you I've got a front room piled up with boxes of other people's junk. I want to hold out til Easter though, there is a summer-only carboot sale here which I am sure will be packed when it opens for the first time.

    Good luck with your job applications and keep posting
