  • I'm a member of the sealed pot challenge on another thread, is It okay if I used the money saved from there to put towards this challenge?

    I have £12.16 in my savings tin which will be put in my savings account as part of the £359.00 I have to pay back anyway.

    I understand if it doesn't or shouldn't count.
    SavingsRepayment: £0/£359.00

    SPC#1435 £10.29
    (£0 banked - waiting for nov 29th to start again hehe)

  • Hi All,

    Hope you have a great day :D

    Hi all.

    No fb sales yet, annoying but expected the close we get to xmas I suppose.

    Boiler is fine now and my car blowers that werent heating up are fixed (car needed coolant and water). Sorted out my tax credit overpayment tht needs repaying, was £155 due Thursday but I set up a monthly payment of £15.50 so that's less of a burden :T

    Lost 4lbs and stopped buying crap :T so another bonus there.

    Hi happytails, glad your boiler and car are fixed :)

    Well I had a good craft fair today taking £60 in sales (I had already paid the stall cost ages ago so am going to put all this into the savings account).

    That means with my birthday money I still have not got top pay in and my few craft fairs I now have £150 waiting to be paid in so will be declaring 3% more very shortly :):)

    7 items sold on eBay - plenty left for relisting next time around. I'm hoping it's next weekend.

    Not sure how much I've made yet still waiting for payments plus one buyer from last week still hasn't paid and I don't think they will.

    Great sales Fedup and Crafting you are an inspiration!!

    Not much progress for me, reduced my spending alot this month on frivolities and coffee :o but we had to pay the car tax this month £154 so its not reflected in the bank balance.

    Was hoping to have £1500 aside for Debt 3 but its looking more like £1300-1400 which is annoying as we are already behind. Trying to sort budget to enable us to put £1500 away. So Glad Xmas is nearly sorted, about £50 to go and thats that. Thats on some fabric, a gift card and a watch from argos, oh and some ingredients for home made fudge :)

    Hoping to crack on with Sewing today or listing on FB if kids allow (got all 3 today with DD1 being off school after being sick last night!)
