    Thanks MM & Jen.

    I have just got home and feel like rubbish (probably just stressed).

    I am going for a nice bath, feed the cats, and cuddle up on the sofa with a supply of chocolate i just bought. :rolleyes:

    I tried calling National Debtline but i was on hold for 45 mins, so will try again tomorrow.

    I have come up with 5 possible options to do, but will look at them again tomorrow.

    Thanks mabel, have just finished my mammoth ebay evening. Only managed 85 listings in the end because I think it's a bit too late to have them ending now, but I'm glad I've go a few unwanted bits on there with the jewellery. Well done on the sale, I think one day I'd like to make 'nice' jewellery lol.

    I hope the bath helps Amy, I'm constantly tense but a bath usually makes me feel a bit better. I also hope you can get some sleep tonight, make sure you look after yourself :).

    Hi everyone. I sold nearly a tenner's worth on ebay yesterday and have bids of over £40 on 2 items at the moment. Someone has offered £50 for another item so it's looking ok at the mo. I now have over 40 items listed...let's hope most of them sell. I have had to pay a £200 deposit for a school trip today.
    Not at wo*k today. Have an appointment later with dental hygienist - G r e a t!!!!
