You will end up getting sold on ebay, the last few months I have been making inroads into my debt and am determined to pay the remaining amounts off by Xmas 2008...so I have started gutting out the house and selling unwanted stuff in house on ebay, so far I have made £109, I have got a pile of DVD's on at the moment and my daughter is giving me her gamecube to sell. I am really determined that by 1st January 2009 it will be new year new me, I have become obsesive about selling stuff and have got a pile of books on Amazon as well. This may sound sad but I get a buzz when I get an email to say that another one of my items has sold. As well as aiming to be debt free I have also signed up for my local freecycle, although dont make any money its a feel good thing.
Sorry to waffle on but has anyone else done this sort of thing to pay off their debts.:j :j
