    Morning Sunday so today is day one of my £8 a day challenge. Unfortunately until I can get to the bank on tuesday my accounts are bare so won't be physically making any payment today but will do on Tues or Weds.

    Plan for today is to unpack, put everything away and do the washing and hopefully rummage some bits out for Ebay.

    Tea round my mums tonight so should be a NSD too :T

    Happy Bank Holiday Monday!

    Day 2 of my £8 a day challenge but still can't do anything until I get my money paid in to the bank. Really looking forward to making that first payment and updating my sig, god I am soooooo sad.

    Hubby back at work today so just me and my little girl here today. Plans for today are:

    - NSD
    - Carry on with the washing and then start the :mad: ironing :mad:
    - quidco, piggy clicks etc
    - check for surveys
    - STP
    - Listing on Ebay - really must get this started as its my best way of making some extra cash.

    Have a good day!:D

    Happy ebaying!!! Don't worry about ironing today - it is a bank holiday after all. Get listing instead, it brings in the money!!

    First day back at work today after hols. Wasn't too bad and thankfully not too much work piled up for me to do.

    Got my second assignment back from the assessor today and I passed with the highest mark available, he said my answer was degree standard :eek: and suggests I look in to upgrading my course :eek: .

    Although I would love to do this I worry if I could give it the committment it needs with working full time and my little girl. Mmmmmmm something to think about.

    Tomorrow is payday yippeee. Have just checked online and I have £8 left so going to make my first payment to MBNA in my payment a day challenge. I am so determined that it will be gone by Xmas.

    Hubby had some good news today too he got 12 hours overtime for Thursday and as its short notice it's double time :D so some extra pennies in next months wages to look forward to.

    Tonight hubby is working so when my little girl is all tucked up will be doing some more ebay whilst mooching on here and watching pants TV. Happy days :D

    Morning.

    Not in work till a bit later today as need to drop my little girl off to my mums once she is back from work so just catching up on here before shooting off.

    Payday for both of us today yiipppeeeeeeeeeee. Haven't checked online banking yet but will do so at work.

    Need to make my payment to MBNA to catch up with my payment a day challenge so will do that later.

    Tonight hubby is at work again so will take advantage of the peace and get some ebay done.

    I am not very good with keeping Ebay going, I almost need a challenge lol. Maybe I should join the £10 a day challenge for September and actually participate lol might keep me going.

    Just starting to sort out this months finances and pay some bills. I hate this bit watching my bank account slowly deplete.

    Anyway have caught up with my £8 a day payments and done a couple extra so have now paid 7 days worth. Only another 116 to go :D

    Started my spending diary today and I am writing everything in there so I can see where the pennies go and I think it will also act as a deterrent as seeing those spends in black and white make them seem more real.

    I got a coffee out of the machine at work for 20p without even thinking today, wrote it in my diary and immediately felt guilty. Now I know its only 20p but they soon add up and it's on these little things I spend. I don't tend to make large buys I am more of a fritterer (I know its not a word lol).

    Feeling very much in control of things at the mo and almost positive. Was talking to my mum about my debts tonight and she kept telling me to remember that I may not be debt free but my debt is going down and that I WILL get there.:o

    Afternoon.

    Working from home this morning so have spent the morning doing my work. Have done enough for today so going to move on to Ebay next me thinks.

    Going to Mr T's later for the monthly shop but all budgetted for so I am hoping for a NSD. Just taking my daughter shopping and not hubby as I will get many more value items in the trolly that way. Shopping with hubby usually results in items being sneaked into the trolly and only found by me once I pack them :mad:

    Tasks for today

    - Get car tax
    - Post Ebay parcel
    - Pay in postal order
