Just to say guys I think you are all doing brilliantly and keep it up!:T
I'm doing the challenge in the background along with you all, but some of the bits I'm selling are things I bought with my own money years ago, so I'm breaking the rules and won't officially join.
But just want to say thanks for all being so inspiring and making me excited at the thought of being able to pay an extra big chunk off my credit card in three months time.
There's not much that's got me excited recently about tackling debt...."carpe that diem"0 -
I just found out I am going to be out of a job at the end of next week so I think I am going to have to figure out a way of making money from nothing! lol
Need to make £2,500 by Aprill 22nd so I might have a go at this and see if I can come up with anything towards it! Already a TAB bingo member so I'll have to make sure I get my free daily scratchcard and ignore the begging deposit button as my history shows I spent about £1000 in there last year and never made a withdrawal - balance currently £0! (before ever setting foot in MSE world of course!)Sealed Pot Challenge #623, Boots points = 619Current Debts: £62K:A0 -
For those of you tempted with matched betting I got an e-mail saying BWins 100% matched offer (max £20) ends at midnight tomorrow. Pay £20 in wait 24 hours for it to miraculousy become £40. Bet on high odds (within 10 days) to lose at Bwin and win at the exchange to avoid the wager requirement should you win at Bwin.Saving for a Spinning Wheel and other random splurges : £183.500

Minniepoos - any luck with the scrap metal yet?
Not got round to it yet. Plan on borrowing a bigger car hopefully next week so we can get it sorted. Had a look at the price of scrap though, and it's about £126 per tonne. Thought we had loads (looks like loads to my untrained eye!), but my OH says it's probably only 1/4 of a tonne. Still, it's better than nothing, and it'll get it all out of my way!:TTotal Debt January 2014 £10,725.44

Well, I'm just over half way, which I'm quite pleased with, but I think all the overtime I've been putting in will start to ease off now - money seems to be tight everywhere.
I was thinking about mystery shopping, but if I get accepted it'll be after this challenge is over.
So I need to think of a way to double my money in 5 weeks!Total Debt January 2014 £10,725.44

Apart from MBing I've run out of stuff to ebay so I need to have a good look at finding some more stuff to sell and find my list from a couple of weeks ago and pull my finger out and get some done :cool:JUST DO IT ONE BRICK AT A TIMEPROUD TO BE DEALING WITH MY DEBTSWeekly Budget: groceries£50/petrol£50/Unnecesary£15DEBT PAID = 58% (£4,212/£8216):T0
