New Year, New Start...

Hi everyone,
Well after some time to myself I'm back :) Had the time off to reflect and sort my life out... I must say i didn't get very far :) haha
I'll give you a summarised catch up of while I was gone:
I nearly fell off the 'food is good not evil wagon'
I had my 18th Birthday
I got Engaged on my 18th Birthday
I've managed to shift a bit of weight
I've been going out more and socialising more
Lately I have been living on the www.moneysavingexpert.com website especially the 'Up Your Income' Forums. Right now it is my lifeline, i'm not in debt or anything but I have been sorely tempted by the credit cards and loans... I know BAD IDEA!! I have a holiday that i need to save for as well as a wedding and trying to keep my mother and our families head above water...
I'm just worried that it's not enough :S
So my plan of action to 'Up my Income' is to:
  • eBay- as much junk as physically possible
  • Sell my ipod on www.mopay.co.uk
  • Sell my old mobile phone on the internet
  • Sell CD/Games/DVDs etc on www.musicmagpie.co.uk
  • Write reviews on www.dooyou.co.uk
  • Daily Clicks
  • Quidco -(I've registered my card to the high street service so that certain i earn cashback at certain high street stores)
  • Play online Bingo via www.bingoport.co.uk

I'm also toying with the idea of setting up an eBay shop, but i really need some inspiration...? I have no idea where to start, what to sell what not to sell? Any ideas???

Feel free to leave comments or advice

Thanks
JS

    It's so lovely to see you JS xx I was wondering where you'd got to and if you're ok. Congrats on the engagement and I hope life gets really good for you in 2010. Make it your year x

    I always saw people in debt and though they were idiots. How could you ever spend so much out of your league. I got a credit card with a 500 limit on just for internet purchases when I was about 18. Life happened, I got married.. moved into a new house.. and I didn't want to wait for it all.. so I got a majority on credit. It was sickening having to pay all the money back over the years.

    Now i'm out of it, i'll never do it again. Never be tempted xx

    Hey sweetie,

    I was stuck in the dailyrat race, i'm now trying to find my own inner sanctum. So sorry i missed little Emily's Birthday, did she have a good time? And what was the whole cake thing about??? It looked scrumdiddlyumptious :)
    How have you been??
    I'm trying to do it on my own instead of having it given to me... mum's in debt and i'm trying to help her get out of it. I don't really mind i just wish that the family members that can help, would help. :)

    Love all your latest pics!! You look very lovely and happy. Hope your moneysaving goes well.. it's nice to see you all determined and going for it. Keep it up!!

    You're an absolute sweetheart for helping your mum out, it's something you will treasure more then any object you could buy when you look back at what you did.
