Morning everyone!
Sorry I didn't get chance to post on this thread yesterday, I was out most of the day (not spending money though!).
I managed to sell one of my books on amazon yesterday for £10.49 so once that gets into my bank account that'll go on one of my cards.
Going to close that old savings account today and take out whatever change is in there and put that on the card aswell. Didn't manage to get anything on ebay though but going to try and do some more reviews on dooyoo today.
How is everyone else getting on?First to £15k hat challenge!Debt £14,393 / £10.49Savings £607 / £0That hat is mine!!!0 -
Morning Mike well done on the Amazon sale :T
Not much happening here for me at the moment as its the week before payday and the account is a little sparse.
Need to step my game up with Ebay so will be listing today although have a meeting to go to this afternoon and not sure how long that will take.
Will try and do a dooyoo review or two today as well but trying not to do to many for fear of them chucking me off lolProud to be dealing with my debts - DFW No: 712

Got 4 more on Turbolister waiting to upload later on, will try and do a few more today.
My A&L credit card statement should be here this week so that is the one I am going to try and pay off first. I wish I could get them onto 2 or 3 cards rather than 5. I don't have anything on my Lloyds one so will ring them later and see if they have any offers going. I think I had a letter a couple of months ago for 0% for 6 months, but not really worth doing those as there is no way I could pay a lot off in 6 months especially having to pay 3% handling fee.
I did apply for one of the Virgin cards (I think it was) the one Martin recommended last week but haven't heard anything, don't think even if I did that I'd get a high limit but every little bit helps and it is 0% for over a year, plus when I got to the end of the form online it said that you can't transfer balances from other MBNA cards and sod's law A&L is an MBNA one so I don't mind if I don't get it.Sealed Pot Challenge #0160 -
Hi all and well done to everyone who sold something on Ebay or Amazon over the weekend. I haven't got the patience for it and don't seem to have the nack for selling things!
I hope to make my extra money by doing AQA and sites like onepoll and quidco. My OH will leave uni in July '09 so hope to use most of his wages towards paying off the debts as well, as they are joint debts and I have been paying for him through uni.
At the moment I am paying £220 per month towards debts so have quite a bit to find!
How is everyone else aiming to pay off their debts?Total (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947

Well I've asked my area manager how to go about getting my expenses back so hopefully will find out tomorrow.....
Took in lunch and didnt spend a penny today so all is well.
Payday for me on friday, and well looking forward to it! And solely because I can see more payments made and more money off the debt...Wealth is not measured by currency0 -
