Is it too late to join??

If not i would like to get rid of one of my debt's which has 20%+ interest rate on it..

Sounds like a great motivator to me.

I managed to go shopping with OH today and not spend a penny - so I'm going to throw the £10 I would have frittered away against the dreaded debt.

Keep up the good work everyone. x P.

£143.80 remaining.

Payment made £820. Total remaining now £0 !

Thanks Postingalwaysposting for the motivation. If you knew how long these debts had been hanging around.... well, it was shameful

With a simple life coach pep talk, and the challenge you set, I have managed to pay off 4 small debts totalling £1546.

Good luck everyone.

:D:D:D I really have no idea :D:D:D

Its all about focus I suppose. I used to pay £10 here or £40 there. Or if I had £100 in the bank, I would panic about how much of that to use to pay off debts and how much to keep back in case of needing milk/petrol/bread etc.. So invariably I would keep all of it back and vow to pay in what I had left over after the weekend - I would NEVER have any left after the weekend !!

So for the sake of this challenge, I would in the above scenario pay off £100 and if I didnt have the cash for petrol/milk/bread .. tough !!

Obviously thats just an example, but you get the drift

I have used store cupboard food and stuff I didnt even recognise in the bottom of the freezer ! I have emptied the penny pots. I had saved some money for school uniforms which didnt cost anything near what I had anticipated. I got a bargain on ebay and proceeded to tell everyone about it, and someone offered me double what I had paid before I even received it ! I also sold a vibrating table ( long story ) which had been in my garage for 7 years !!

I have also done 6 car boots since we started ! I didnt know we had so many in the area, and it is amazing what other people give you too. My family all cleared out their junk, sorry trinkets, and I could keep the profits ! I did well with a 50p stall and the last one I did a 20p stall to clear everything - it was like a jumble sale stampede !!

Nothing inspirational I'm afraid, but it worked for me !
