    Thats me broken the £4k barrier! Made 2 payments totalling £311.73 which took me over the 4K mark. Well chuffed!
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    Big clap for Unixgirluk and all those doing so well in this challenge. I am at the end of my month now (payday next Friday) but am very pleased to have managed to overpay, on top of paying my tax (overdraft is taking a battering, but that's another story).

    Got to get ebaying - have some great brand new leather coats to sell which I really need to do before the warm weather arrives!

    Thanks Sarahs999, its been a hard slog but getting there (still got a long way to go before I'm debt free). It may well tail off but at least I've made a good start. :o

    Still no job. I've been nagging all the agencies and I think they are getting annoyed with me keep phoning.

    On the plus side I've put loads of things on ebay and a few have sold so far. Got loads more to finish friday and sunday and that money is going to be paid off my nasty virgin credit card. My hubby is a bit worried that one day he will come home from work to an empty flat where I have sold everything on ebay!!!
    Keep up the good work everyone!!!!

    Another £9.28 paid this morning. Made on ebay sales :T. I've still got loads to list but can't get the morivation. I did some extra work last night but won't get the money till next week. They are starting up another service which may mean more work if we want it so I've sent off for details. Fingers crossed it might mean a little extra money. :o
