    Evening all.

    On a little bit of a downer at the moment but I know I will soon perk up. I pledged at the beginning of the year to pay off £8k from my debts by the end of the year and adding things up today I am only just over half way so far with only 4 months left :eek: .

    So I really need to do some debt butt kicking over the next four months. I have got to get some more money coming in somehow so this weekend I will be taking advantage of no hubby here and will be turning the place upside down for stuff to list on Ebay.

    Hey Hun,

    Just wanted to post you a little perk up and say I think you're doing really well and 4k in 8 months is not to be sniffed at, so you should congratulate yourself for that one!

    Hope you have a fruitful weekend and enjoy Ebay. My mum told me all the fees on Ebay are about to go up loads so we should all take advantage of it at the moment, 40p per listing she reckons! I dont know how reliable her info is but list list list if that is the case!

    P.S Got any baby stuff you wanna get rid of? Let me know, and maybe we can do a deal :)

    Well the end of the first week seems to have been a success as far as the £8 a day challenge is concerned, so give yourself a pat on the back.

    Thank you ladies for your posts I know I am just feeling sorry for myself and I will soon shake it off.

    I think it's more I am disappointed that I haven't put in more effort in the 8 months of the year already.

    CAFC - I don't think I have much baby stuff left but I'll let you know if I find anything.

    You can't turn back the clock, so draw a line under the last 8 months and look forward to the next 8 months instead. What's done is done. (or not as the case may be!)

    Had a chilled out day today with my little girl. We popped out this morning and I bought her some paints and paper only £3 so no big splurge so have been painting with her for most of the day.

    Joined up for the Sept NSD challenge so popped to Tescos to get some bits for my packed lunches next week. Hope I can get my first one in tomorrow.

    Have been doing STP on and off all day and withdrawn my first fiver so should hit Paypal in the next couple of days. Hoping to get back into this as fits in perfectly with my life and is easy. Will use this towards my £10 a day.

    Need to get some bits listed on Ebay so will try and get a few on tonight once little un is tucked up.

    STP - you get paid (pence) to review music tracks......can be very very tedious, but hey, a few pence is a few pence!!

    If you go over to the "up your income" board there is a fab thread or two about it - and will give you all the info you need. Don't expect to get rich though!

    And prepared to be bored :rotfl:
