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.

Trial products made.

I did a little experiment yesterday and I managed to make a couple of products I'd made that might actually sell. So I will make some more to build up my stocks so that I can sell a few at a time. Quality control is an issue with other things but I will get better as I progress. I am clueless to the cost I will have to charge but I think that £3.50/ £4.00 seems a reasonable price per item. The biggest charge is jewellery fittings, making equipment and my time.

I will also do some research on block printing equipment so that I can sell pictures, possibly framed items.

eBAy is still unprofitable. I have managed to to secure a 99p bid. I wanted to sell a couple of vinyls on eBay but a friend wants them. I am reluctant to sell them to him as I can make a greater profit on eBay. Friendship or money.... Hmmmm.

Boxed up my items that I will make around 45 quid for, as their free post labels finally arrived in the post today.

I will go to the WI soon. Hopefully it will be an invaluable networking source.
