I’ve been on a bit of a selling craze lately to try to raise cash for paying off debts. I’ve tried my luck at a recent car boot sale and made around £70 profit which I was very pleased about! I’ve not had a great deal of luck with selling on Ebay though and I may need to have a huge rant about that in a future post! Not only do the fees seem to be a lot more than what they used to be, but I can’t seem to actually sell anything for more than 99p at the moment!…

Happy Friday! Today is my 33rd Birthday. 🙂 My hubby is working away so we celebrated together earlier in the week. Instead of going out, my hubby cooked me a fantastic birthday meal a couple of days ago before he went away. He really is a brilliant cook which is just as well because I hate cooking! For starters, we had Thai Chilli Chicken Cakes, followed by a main course of King Prawn Stir Fry and for pudding we enjoyed homemade Apple and Raspberry Pie. Yum!

Everything quite rightfully became…
It’s always with great effort that I persuade the hubby that we should do a car boot sale every now and then. He absolutely hates raking through our old stuff, ferrying it all out to the local car boot sale and then bringing half of it back with us again. That is what generally happens I guess! However, despite my hubby’s feelings towards car boot sales, they really are great places for individuals to come together to buy and sell just about anything (out of their car boots)! It’s possible to make a nice wad of cash from doing one of these…
Happy Friday folks! Another week nearly over already! I hope you’re looking forward to the weekend as much as I am? I’m really getting into this blogging thing. It’s so much fun and really addictive! I would recommend it to anyone particularly if you have a goal that you want to achieve or a passion to follow. As you probably know, my goal and passion is to become debt free (whilst keeping things in perspective!) Before I started blogging, I had no idea about the amount of information out there on personal finance blogs. I try to read as many…
