A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post about the Christmas Money Making Challenge I was about to undertake in order to raise some cash for Christmas shopping. I thought it was time to post an update now that I’ve exhausted my stock of old stuff at home that I had ready for selling on eBay.

I have good news and bad news to report. The good…

Happy Friday! Hope you’ve had a good week? You may (or may not) have noticed that I’ve not been posting quite as often for the last week or so, this isn’t because I’m getting bored of blogging or have been slacking off though. 🙂 It’s just been because of lack of time what with Christmas shopping, tying up loose ends at work and my Christmas Money Making Challenge!

The costs for Christmas can really add up and my budget is feeling the pressure already. Presents are obviously costly especially when you have many to buy for but aside from those, there’s food to buy, decorations, cards and gift wrapping materials to worry about too. I’ve spent far…

I know it’s not quite the end of the month yet but it’s with much awaited anticipation that I write this post today, to share with you my latest progress on debt repayments! Yes, I’m very happy and just a tad excited because last week, I actually paid off my darned credit card; my flexible friend that I have no desire to spend time with again; the thorn in my side for over 10 years. Yippee, it’s finally gone everyone! As you may know, my goal was to pay this credit card off by the end of the year but…
