I'm back from having dinner out, went to a Toby Carvery. Kids are now in bed, OH is feeding the baby and I've listed more on Ebay. Got to go round now and see what else I can find to list, only 3 hours 45 mins of the free listing weekend left.
Will just do maybe one Dooyoo review a day.Sealed Pot Challenge #0160 -
This is going to be a great overlap to the end of the £20k by Xmas (which I will miss by about £5k (unless anyone else clears £15k in two and a bit months and takes the [strike]crown[/strike] paper hat
So my debt total as of today is.... [strike]£24,390.13[/strike] £24,240.13 (I forgot to include the ISA)- I'll pop a line at the bottom of my sig (if it'll let me)
Then I need to crack on with those surveys and opinon sites and work out where I am going to get this money from.
I will have to count the money that I am ISAing towards my credit card for next September though as that is where every spare penny will be dumped into for a while.£34,547 (Dec 07); Current debt: £zilch (Debt free December 2010)

Hi, can I join in too? I have joined in challenges before but have always failed. I really need a kick up the b*m. I have plenty of carp to list on ebay and do car boot sales with, its just getting the motivation to do it thats the problem. On the positive side, I only have 2 more Xmas presents to buy and then everything is sorted. I need to work out the full extent of my debt ( which will include debt that does not belong to me, but in my name and that I am ending up paying, but thats a long story for another day).
PLEASE help me keep motivated.0
