So having flicked though your other posts, Your capital one card was £977.83, you intend to make £500 this month on ebay and your current balance on the card is £827. Where will you be finding the other £327? I have absolute faith in your ability to achieve this and I am always impressed at the lengths and innovative ideas that you come up with to tackle debt.Debt £5600 all 0%0

Oh, that's put me on the spot- hopefully some mystery shopping will come my way. You never know what might come along, I might get a prize-winning cheque in the post tomorrow for £1,000 and voila my Capital One card would be cleared :rotfl: - but seriously you never know
I am aiming to get £500 from Ebay but hopefully I may get some more than that. I have got quite a bit to sell still so we shall wait and see.0 -
Wow Emily, you really are an insipration!
I dont usually like to read long threads, but Ive just spent the last hour (in work naughty me) reading this one from start to finish.
Well done on all you've achieved so far, and good luck for whats to come.:A

well done with your debt clearing.
what is AQA please ? 100 questions for £30 sounds good. can everyone do this ?0 -
Hello everyone
Right, I have got a change of plan for this month. I owe my mum £2,000 which she needs back ASAP. I am therefore going to concentrate on getting this paid back.
I want to get as much as possible throughout September but I will be getting my AQA money at the beginning of October so I can rely on that if I need to.
I am now going to try and do 200 questions a day :eek: so that I end up with £1,800 by the end of September.
Also, we think that my sister may be pregnant again. I will let you all know when we find out for sure :j

Welcome back Emily.
Glad you're feeling better. Think you've made the right decision about work and that extra day will be useful for your competitions and stuff, if you feel up to it. As you say, your health comes first and, if that's ok at least you reap the rewards of cutting your debt by relaxing a bit. Good for you with your plans for AQA and competitions and stuff. I think the fund for Joshua is great. I think the website idea is fantastic too. Don't think it'll take too long to get that star cos you've inspired so many people with this website that we have all been touched by you losing Joshua. I will certainly be donating once it's sorted.
Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for your sister.
Take care.

I don't know much about websites but I think that's a fantastic idea.
Take care
