My £3k challenge

Well no toys sorted, and no new ebay items listed, bad me.
£10 paid off loan this morning.
Yesterday did a free bingo offer and won a bit of cash but I'm dubious as to whether I'll get it so I wont shout about it unless or until I see it in my account.0 -
You are doing really well on the loan, is coming down nicely!
Hope you manage to get some toys sorted and ebay items listed.0 -
Thanks Wendz, I'm becoming a bit obsessed with my total at the mo lol I'm not sure it's healthy.
I cancelled my mobile contract today as I saw the phone I wanted on exactly the same tarrif with the same provider, just through a diff company and the phone was free so I've done that.
Of course went through cashback so hopefully that'll be £30 in a few months time, and then I'll recycle my mobile for a few more quid.
Three items sold on ebay tonight all for more than the 99p start which was nice, but am waiting for loads of buyers to pay which is really frustrating.0 -
Hi Yukkibear
I know what you mean about becoming obsessed with your total, I feel the same, but I suppose we could be obsessed with worse things! Good for you getting the mobile you want through a different company AND getting cashback too. Well done. And well done on your Ebay sales too.

Still waiting for ebayers to pay which is very annoying. Hoping they are just waiting for payday.
Payday for me today but nothing exciting going to happen. Need to work out how poor I'll be next month again.0 -
I think it is ok to get obsessed with paying off debt as long as your quality of life is still OK. You don't want to be suffering just to pay it off quicker.
The new contract sounds good, glad you managed to get the phone you want.0 -
Quality of life? What's that lol. Nope not suffering, we were skint before lol.
I only use "extra" money to pay off the loan unless it's the odd £ to round down, haven't got enough to use my own money at the mo, so it's all fine.
I WANT MY PHONE
I read on the site that if you order before 1pm then you are guarranteed delivery before 1pm the following day. Guess what time I ordered it yesterday? 1.45pm lol0 -
