That's brilliant pap. All my bits (when they sell) go for 99p or thereabouts lol
Mine usually do too, but for some reason luck is on my sideI have to pay £35 in fees so far to ebay and I havent counted up the paypal fees but I will be happy if I can pay at least £200 off my debt.

Thank you! It's a long hard slog isn't it but we're all doing really well just trying to focus on one day (or 100 days) and one debt at a time.
Right, day seven, I wonder where I can find some extra money today...Debt at LBM (May 2007) - £32,891
Debt at 06.04.10 - £9158.57. Getting there slowly. :j

Hi, I'm new to the board so am a bit late in joining this one but would like to pay off my post office card by the end of the 100 days. I'm a student and have been happily in denial about my debts for the last few years but since being rejected for a 0% balance transfer it's given me the kick that I needed to chop up my cards, list everything I owe and to start to think about what I can realistically pay off while studying. I have two part timejobs and plan to use some of my student loan towards my debts, I think this 100 day challenge is a good way for me to start as hopefully I can get rid of my smallest debt by the end of it£3000 (27%) left to pay!1debt vs 100 days challenge £0/£500July NSD's 2/150

Hi josephine and welcome !
I am loving this challenge. I struggle with the small debts. I feel I should be paying a bit off each, but that got demoralizing. Then I tried attacking one at a time but then the threatening letters would come through the door for the others and make me change my prioritises all the time. I got incredibly messed up and felt like I was wading through treacle !
My friend is a life coach and gave me a pep talk about focussing. As if by magic, the same day I came on here and saw this challenge and hey presto :j
I chose the 4 smallest, most important debts that I have faffed around with, and due to focussing on them I have paid off 2, and am attacking the other 2 with avengence.
I have also decided I love postingalwaysposting for the kick up the bum !VR repayment £404 £156.02 PAID
Airpods repayment £249 £185 £75.90 PAID

Hi Josephine and welcome to the challenge. I wish you well to complete your goal in the 100days. I have added you to the first post and to the overall total. Please update this thread when you reduce your debt. Good luck :Tmoneymakestheworldgoround wrote: »I have also decided I love postingalwaysposting for the kick up the bum !

Still nothing payed off from me, but I took most of my ebay parcels to the post office today. A little more postage than I was hoping for but hey I am sure I will still have a lump to throw at my debt. Need to list more shortly though... it never ends :rotfl: Payday soon so more to pay off :j0
