The Itemiser - A New Challenge

194 Posts
Ok, I mentioned this in my diary as I am using it as a method to make my debts seem a little less daunting and means I can take a systematic approach to clearing them with mini achievements along the way. A couple of people have mentioned that they quite like the idea so I thought it might be good to bring it to the masses, hopefully it will work for you too.
I spent a bit of time working out what is actually on my credit card, what am I still paying for? I now have a list of items and how much they were and I am attacking them one at a time until the whole debt is gone.
SO item one on my credit card is a T-shirt I bought about 2 years ago, it cost me £25 so my MSE exploits are currently working towards that first £25 and then I can pay that off my credit card once I have got there, strike it off the list and feel a little less guilty every time I wear it., then move on to the next one on the list.
If you want to add anything to the itemiser post it up below and start working away at it until it has gone, once it is I shall add the item to the list of victims and let's see how big we can make the total paid off using the itemiser!!.:money:

As you say otherwise it may get lost before it's had a chance to take off!
If anyone wants to join in on the act then we can see what list of items the itemiser can get through.
