  • Hi please can i join - i could really do with shifting £20k next year aiming to get as much as i can cleared :)

    Think my first aim is to decide which of my cards this will go to paying off first and start with that.

    Think i need to write this all down otherwise i'll never keep on top of it :)

  • hypn would it not be better if people just updated siggy's to save you an awful lot of work? Just aware that you have alot on and know how these things can snowball! (pun intended!) Fab new totals too!
    Fab news is I just sold my first jewellry online and am chuffed to bbits. Strategy is that beads will come out of monthly money (ie not cc) and money in will go direct to debt! hurooo I should be off the mark soon!
    Go for it buffy - you have nothing to loose expect debt after all!

    I hope people DO update their siggies because that is one of the things that motivates others - when they see how much people are achieving.

    But if I use that as the only way of keeping tabs on the progress, I will be continually scouring signatures and that could become a tad obsessive (as if that could happen on MSE!).

    So, if everyone sends me their totals every few weeks or so, I can have a burst of updating and get it out of the way in one go.

    PrincessPeach, you are added! Good luck!

    That would be ok with me sarah999, although I had better clear my inbox - it only allows 50 messages and there are over 100 challengers!!!

    Morning, I've just checked online banking and I've had a refund from my old energy suppliers...I wasn't expecting that...I was expecting to have to pay them!!
    Anyway, I've added it to my total...I've got to start looking for a job now. I've found a couple that look ok. I've just got to pluck up the courage to apply. I haven't been in proper paid employment for over 10 yrs! gulp!!
  • Another Amazon sale can up my total from £12.07 to £21.65.
    I used to make jewellery ISOM, found it very theraputic, may have time to cash in on the Chrimbo market yet....
    Am also trying to fit in some STPing where possible, made £6 over the last two days.

    Just read the last few posts. Everyone is doing so well. I am so motivated and most of it coming from this site! I'll be adding more to my total later on in the month.
