    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker Debt-free and Proud!
    Hello all! Everyone's doing brilliantly on this challenge. No exciting news, but finally listed some things on ebay, and my first BIN was sold a day after! :) Now just need to get listing more so I can get my paypal balance over £50. Amazon sales have picked up again so that's good news as well. Also managed to raise the extra £200 for my student loan pot, payment will be beginning of May so maybe I can get even more together, we'll see, need to save for the hols as well.
    DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!
    Proud to have dealt with my debts!
