    Always, yes it is motivating, it certainly motivated me. Ouch at uploading so many on one sitting. I have done 60 in three days, just the tip of the iceburg though :rolleyes: Find something else to do when you are upset if thats the trigger, I have had to do this with food and money. I usually go for a walk or play an online game :rolleyes: Update here if you have to just to take your mind off it. Good luck and I hope you keep posting :D

    I will keep posting and stay motivated - promise.

    Well I haven't done anything today YET, was going to look at some sites like Bview etc that pay for reviews, but am knackered after last nights Ebay frenzy... Do need to go to Tescos later but will keep spending down to a bare minimum - just need the essentials and kids lunch box bits...

    Also must go through Quidco today and do free things - belong to Cashbackkings too - are there any other good ones anyone can recommend, happy to use you link i it helps :D

    I have worked out that if I am going to reach my target I need to make £11.58 per day on top of my regular DD payments to have paid off by 9th Dec. :eek:

    Plan for today is to

    - ebay 3 items
    - round down bank account (it's a start) just paid off £3.06 :T
    - look at all my insurances and see if I can get better quotes for them.
  • Hi All,

    Im so excited..... I just paid £75 off evil Natwest CC. £625 to go.

    xxxxx

    I’m back and more determined than ever!!!!!
  • Hurrah!! Day one :D

    Well I have lots on its way to me but not in my bank account yet so not counting it.

    £18.31 from Play sales
    £33.87 from quidco (tracked but not paid yet)
    £61 from £2 coins and 2p's saved up

    Currently my ebay sales will get me £42.97 gross but they don't finish till Sunday so lots of scope yet!

    Will ebay more stuff this Thursday and will have a look in my parents loft over the coming weeks to clear out some of my stuff and ebay more.

    Good luck everyone :beer:

  • Hiya,

    I've made a little bit of a start with £24.30 off my Natwest overdraft. I'd love to see the back of this debt if I can, I've had it for around 5 years!

    Starting to run out of moneymaking ideas though, as most of my house has been ebay'd already! May have to hit the Up Your Income board for inspiration! x
    Mortgage when started (Dec 2013): £157,272.50
    Current mortgage (date): £156,885.56
    Mortgage free day: Dec 2043
