Morning everyone,

Well done Jen, you are doing brilliant. Its not even the middle of the month yet, you could go for £20 a day maybe? i'm sure you will do it, your so motivated at the moment, its great. When are you going to use the money saved to put it towards your debt? your debt total will be under £400.

Have a great day all x

Hi everyone. Jen you're doing great!!! without trawling back through the thread, how have you managed to make so much money this month? if you don't mind my asking please?
I have some things on ebay at the moment-put most of then on before I found out it was cheap listing day on thursday, then put 6 more things on yesterday coz I forgot it was cheap listing day on thursday!!! Doh!!! I have loads of watchers, but hardly any bidders as yet...there's loads of time though. I'm hoping to get £150+ from my listings... ever the optomist.
Another arduous day ahead, I've just brought the washing in from yesterday-kids were supposed to do it for me and then I forgot they hadn't. It hasn't rained yet today but it is forecast, so I will have to finish drying the washing in the TD.
Hope everyone has a good day!!

hi all! Thanks tattycath just reminded me to pick in washing from yesterday before it rains- oops! Most of us have made extra cash using quidco, bingo and ebay but if you do get time to look back through the thread it will be worth it, sure there's lots I've forgotten that we've done.
Jen- look at you with all your savings !!! Do you still need to find extra each week to be df by November ?

morning all,
thanks mm- i think i could do £20 a day IF i manage to do a car boot coz that would make £100 ish! i have transfer a weeks rent £74 to my saving as they owed me the money so i don't have to pay it!

hi cath- i have made £12.99 from selling a book on amazon. £80 ish from e bay £148 i got back from housing association because i didn;t take a payment break in march i forgot! and £30 from quidco i have cut outgoings by £1.25 a month by cancelling my paper bills for talk talk and £8.40 for canceling health insureance that i don't need.
i have looked back through my bank statments at thinks i can cut don;t need etc that helped as i saw i spend a shocking amount on petrol and fopod shopping!! also it highlightesd some direct debits i didn;t need,.
i also have moany coming from quidco, moneyback madness, topcashback etc adn i have done piggyback and surveys but no payouts yet! i need to pay my debt and make sure i have the money to buy dd a DS for (xmas about £100)

Morning All :hello:

Wow Jen you have done so well! Wont be long before you are debt free! :beer:

I had an enquiry about some items I am selling on ebay, sounded like she wanted to bulk buy. If she does that could mean £15! :j Just waiting for her to get back to me (hope she does).

I am so tired today! Again! When am i not? :rotfl:

A few bits to do today, but one boss is on leave and the other out until Monday so hopefully i will have some spare time this afternoon to sort out the office (the lady before me was a hoarder! I found telephone books from 4 years ago, the funny thing being they moved offices 2 years ago so she moved them from one office to another! :rolleyes: :rotfl: )

That's really good jen, especially as we're not even half way through the month yet. I'm addicted to wii bowling and wii fit looks really good, my friend has one so I'm lucky enough not to need to buy one.

At the moment I still have £110 to pay off on my credit card before I can add to my savings, my ebay fees get taken off of my credit card because I've always been scared of going overdrawn on my overdraft. My credit card has a £2,500 limit which I think is far too high, but I know I'll definately never incur fees for overspending on it. I long for the day when I will have enough in my current account to get rid of the credit card.

I have £39 in my paypal account at the moment, so when that reaches £50 I'll pay it off of the credit card. I have a couple of things I'm waiting to be paid for which will just push it over the £50 mark. I also have 23 auctions ending in the next couple of days so I'm hoping they will get me the last £60 I need.
