    Evening all

    My actual grand total of debt I am aiming to pay off over the next 100 days is

    1305.88 (cc1) Plus 1210.95 which makes a grand total of = 2516.83

    Well. that works out as about 26 pounds per day.............................................................................................

    If I am careful with my money I can pay about 600 each month from wages, if I can manage my second job and not go out/spend money. This may not be very realistic!!!
    so that is 600X3 = 1800
    2516.83 - 1800= 716.83

    716/100 = 7.16 a day! extra

    I think for chocolate buying reasons and the odd night out I think i should aim for 10 pound a day just to be on the safe side.
    ok Maths lesson over
    Currently I have 20.00 in v*rgin bingo winging its way to me!
    I also have 8.71 from Quidco

    Its not here yet but when it is on the CCs it goes!

    I shall list 3 more things on e bay tomorrow

    All the Best everyone!

    Hi all, well done to everyone so far on their efforts. I went to a funeral today so didn't think I would be adding anything to the 'pot' today but at the wake I thought I would put a couple of pound in the fruit machine and won £30.00 - yeay! Like to think that was my Uncles contribution! x x x

    Target - 1772.47
    So far - 30.00

  • Crikey everyone seems to have hit the floor running today :jI plan on paying money off my Hellifax card each week . I took some old pieces of gold to a jewellers today and got £37 so was well pleased . It was just some broken earrings and a twisted ring , which should of been in the bin but because it was "real" gold I just couldn't dump it . I have £32 in paypal so not a bad start aswell.
    I plan on ebaying loads. I have nothing of value to sell mainly just kids clothes and toys . I promise only to sell stuff my dd doesn't use anymore:D. I plan on cutting back on shopping , just buying the basics and living off the stuff in my cupboards for the next 99 days and doing loads of surveys and cashback sites . I'm going to try get my head around match betting but after reading the match betting thread several times it might just be beyond me :o.
    I do a lot of mystery shopping but thats part of my main income so can't include that.
    I woke this morning thinking I'd bitten off more than I could chew but after reading the posts on here its really motivated me :T
    Best of luck everyone
    WE CAN DO IT xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Not paid anything off today nor earned anything but have also not spent anything which is a good start, done a couple of mystery shops and a handful more lined up which will help, but feeling a bit hamstrung by the lack of money in my current account (A&L to RBS transfers take an age not helped by the BH).
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

    I was paid £50 that I was owed and had forgotten about yesterday so off to a good start. I haven't got listing on ebay yet but plan to do that either today or tomorrow. I am going to have a look at the survey sites that some of you have mentioned. I used to do these so will give it a go again.
    Debt at highest May 04 - £65,639.22 - Started DMP with CCCS 1st June 04 & now self managed DMP
    Debt now 20th December 2015 £31677.13 Paid Off to date £33962.09 - just not going quickly enough!

    Debt free date July 2024! I don't think so, it'll be going quicker than that!!!

    Decided a token payment is better than no payment so paid £5 off the RBS CC just to see that total change!

    Edited to add - minimum payment is due by 6th Sept so paid that + £5 token = £27....
