  So yesterday was a successful day. My eBay listings ended making me a nice £180.00. Still need to work out all the fees and postage but still a healthy profit.
  I am eagerly awaiting payday next Thursday so I can begin to to see if I can I spend with in my budget (I can do this). I’ve cut down a lot this month but it was a bit to late to set a budget and stick to it as I didn’t have my light bulb moment till last week.
  I still have a few bits and pieces to sell but after that the extra money towards debts has to come from a stricter budget.
  I’ve done really well at eating what I have in the freezer and made a meal plan and stuck to it.
  I have a girls night out tonight which again I would never have budgeted for but now I need to budget or say no.
  
  Right that’s me off to pack up some parcels.

  Make £10 a day in May- £90/£150

  So part of the secured loan is from your parents and is interest free and the other part is the Nationwide consolidation loan which probably encompasses a lot of your past holidays. Presumably around £34k is interest free then with repayments of £200 per month?
  
  You then have £17682 on HP? Is that the cars? What interest rate and when do they finish?
  
  Are the credit cards actually at 0%?
  
  Which debts are you tackling first or are you saving for emergency fund for now?
