    That's fab AMy, look how much you've achieved so far this year.

    I'm having no luck on e-bay at the moment. Got about 6 items ending today but no watchers on them - YET. Maybe the wet weather will encourage people to stay in and buy.

    Thanks GR. I was telling my mum last night and she was in shock at how much i have made extra this month and how much i am able to pay off my CC. :p

    The wet weather always tends to help ebay sales. Everyone is bored and searching for something to cheer them up that equals spending! :rotfl:

    Fingers crossed they all get bids. :D

    Your brave telling your mum. Whenever I mention to my mum how much money I've made she always goes on about getting builders in for quotes on things like new ceiling in bathroom, laying a new drive etc etc. I tend not to tell her anymore :)

    I really need to find something to e-bay that everyone wants and will get me lots of money quick - who doesn't I hear you say :) Unfortunately all the things I've got to e-bay are bits and bobs, old vases, kids clothes, books and CD's. Will try and have a real good look around today and see if there's any treasure around.

    Yeah i feel i have to tell my mum because i owe her some money, and i want her to know im making an effort, you know? Not just waiting for payday to pay the minimum i can afford. She now understands im serious about paying off all my debts (including her!) so i think she feels a bit better about it all. :j

    Deffo have a look around, i found a compact mirror that i had bought for someones birthday 2 years ago, its lovely and cost me £25! :eek: so im hoping that sells.

    Hi Amy,

    Found your diary yesterday and just wanted to say well done on reducing your debt so much this year, after my next loan payment i will be under the 2k mark and its a great feeling thinking of what i will be able to do with the extra money each month! Can't wait to start saving! :D

    Thank you so much. Im really happy with my progress. I cant wait for the rest of my ebay sales to end etc. so i can whack that on the CC as well. Never know may get under the £8K mark this month!:eek:

    Congrats on getting under £2K. That seems a long way off for me! :rotfl:

    I really hope you manage to do that! Do you do surveys/cashback sites etc to earn a few pennies?

    I use Quidco (and actually have £100 pending in there :j ).

    Have had a good scout around today and have got a few items listed that are in double figures :) Put them on for 3 days and really hope they sell. Have taken a new picture of the desk in the hope that I'll be luckier selling t this time.
