End of the August Challenge

I can't believe it is the end of August already! It seems like no time since i was wondering how on earth i was going to make an extra £310 over the month and here i am not quite believing that i more than doubled that figure!!!


But what is the final figure? i haven't added the last earnings on to my total yet: 


Ebay - I made some silly mistakes with the postage costs of the items i sold underestimating the cost by £2.81 :( I managed to make a mistake with all of them because i didn't weigh the items - Lesson learned with that! At least i did still make a few pounds - balance increased by £4.34! 


I did manage to do the 2 car boot sales on Saturday adding another £72.15 to my total, and despite the storm brewing on Sunday i did another one then too adding a further £105.50 :) 


So........i feel like i need a drum roll.......the final amount for August is a huge and magnificent £839.22  - never in my wildest dreams did i think that was possible. 


This challenge has completely changed my thoughts about dealing with my debts - it was this huge insurmountable mountain before i started this, looming over me - yes it was like a fire breathing dragon that burned me every time i went close to it.  Now i feel like i have at least got a sword and shield to fight it with!! 


Strangely i am looking forward to working on the debt dragon again next month ;)
