EBAY LISTING

Well  I have started going through the winter clothes, and I washed OH two jackets he wears in winter.
Plus one of my jackets so they will be ready to go.
Listed seven things on ebay today, want to try and list at least five things each day until all this clutter is gone.
Going to take quite awhile, at least that will keep me busy.So hoping that I sell lots to help with my debt.

I have an appointment with my  Pulmonary Doctor is six weeks than I will be told how advanced this lung disease is. They are doing tests on  me to see how I have got it, as they assumed I smoked.
Told them I have never smoked it my life.
I am determined to stay postive. As I have it now and its not going away, it will only get worst.

Spent £1.10 milk thats a total spend this week £7.65.

PLANS

Well I have started my plans for a more frugal life.
We will not be buying anything unless it is a NEED not a WANT.
I am going to go through all our winter clothes and see what we need to get us through winter .
I am okay for duvets, blankets, throws and hot water bottles as I got plenty last year.
So over the next few weeks I will get them out and wash then and have them all ready.
We even have snow grips for our shoes as we needed them last year as it was bad here, could not get around without them.


Spent £1.50 for eggs  thats a total spend this week of £6.55

GETTING READY

I have decided that I will pay minimum payment to all debt, except Vanquis CC.
This card will have all spare cash plus ebay money paid off it until it is clear.
This amount  owing on this card is £1756.40. 
I plan to be debt free by 25/12/15
I have taken our food money out of the bank it will be £30 week for the two of us.
My freezer and  food cupboard are quite full, so I plan to use up as much as I can.
I did a menu plan for the week, and I only had to buy Potatoes, Oranges and Milk today.
Total cost £5.05.
I will not have to buy any toiletries or cleaning goods for awhile as I have lots, and I mean lots.
I have listed a few things on ebay yesterday as it was a free weekend, so any profit goes to Vanquis.
I am still going through things to put on ebay, and I have lots, some things not even opened.

As for my health I am taking that one day at a time.
