Who?

I am a 36 year old debtor living in Northern England with about £20,000 pounds worth of debt and no clear way of paying it off. I could be your neighbour or your friend as no one discusses debt. Debtors used to be carted off to debtor's prisons now we mainly exist in metaphorical prisons.

Follow me as I try and keep my head above water with my finances.

More Freebies arrive

I'm rubbing my hands in glee. Another free DVD on free trial has arrived and ironically its The Confessions of a Shopaholic. I'm looking forward to watching it again.

The second library book has arrived and ~I went to collect it today. I managed to finish Alexis Hall's In the red- a diary of a recovering shopaholic. I really enjoyed the book. I wish I had the waged income to turn over my debt like she did. Looking for part time work is a possibility for me and it's something i will have to consider shortly.

My money tin was opened again today and i took out 95p in 5p pieces. All I need to do is find 5p to make it up to another pound. My penny stash is currently at 94p so I'll have another pound soon too but then there will be a dirge of change.

I looked into the possibility of selling some of my books on amazon.co.uk, but they have higher insertion fee and rates than eBay appears to have. I would have to be selective about the books I sell there and I may have to take a bundle down to the second hand place in town to see if they can give me a valuation for the lot.

Shortly I will be able to help mum out with the cupboard as I feel marginally better this afternoon.

I have had my eye on some sushi earrings but at around 20.00 dollars plus shipping they are out of the question. Cleverly I discovered a site for making dollhouse miniatures out of polymer clay. I may consider crafting my own, now that I have found the technique for a couple of the designs. Also I have fallen in love with some Korean letter sets on www.etsy.com. I also managed to find a source closer to home that sells them cheaply. I have bookmarked the site for when I next need writing paper. God I love the Internet!
