    Hi Everyone,

    Well done Cleosmum on the Quiche - I can't stand the stuff myself so it would probably last all week :)

    Just finished monitoring my eBay sales - made almost £125 so this should be come to about £100 with expenses taken into consideration:j

    Sadly, couldn't find the stuff I wanted at the carboot sale but I did find some things that will go straight onto eBay and should make £30 or so more than I paid for them.

    Catch you all l8r.

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

  • Evening all!
    Today I drove back up the motorway at 60 and used half the amount of petrol I used to!
    Also have put some stuff on freecycle and given my sister my jacket that she has coveted for ages - stops other people spending and feels just as good as spending for me!
    Well done to everyone for having such a productive weekend

    Hi All,

    Today I have:
    • Checked for MS jobs ~ nothing :rolleyes:
    • Checked online banking ~ enough in there for all May's bills (will have to monitor though)
    • Checked to see if any Quidco money has moved columns ~ am waiting for £45 to validate/pay since December! (might have to check this out)
    • Went to WW today, bought a magazine £1.75 and a bag of crisps 50p, after a depressing result on the scales (so :mad: with myself at the moment)
    • stayed in all day (mainly crying, and contemplating not eating for a while to loose weight ~ I know, not healthy :wall:)
    After some sleep, woke up with a fresh mindset, and
    • made a healthy cheese and pickle sandwich (weighed and counted)
    • read the magazine I bought
    • hubby took and picked mum up from the hospital (my nan is in there), and mum gave me £40 ~ £10 given to my hubby for petrol = £30 profit :j
    Think that is about it, take care everyone
    Debts at the start of my journey - about £23,000 lightbulb moment 01.03.2007 (1st payment to CCCS)..Debt Free Date 25.06.2013 Deposit savings £17,000/£30,000
