    Hiya!

    What a great idea! I've needed a push for a while as the debt-busting has gone a bit quiet lately for me! :rotfl:

    Could I join and aim to pay off my Natwest Student Overdraft of £691.10?

    Not sure how I'm going to do it as I've sold almost everything in my house :confused:, but I will persevere! :rotfl:

    Good luck everyone! :T x

    Hi Everyone,

    Please can I join in on this challenge. I was hoping to try and pay my MBNA card off by the end of the year so if I could do it that little bit earlier that would be great.

    I really need something to make me focus on this and think this will give me the extra push.

    My current balance is £2564.32.
    Debt at LBM (May 2007) - £32,891
    Debt at 06.04.10 - £9158.57. Getting there slowly. :j

    Definitely star, I have 24 turbo listed ready to set live on Saturday. I have at least another 9 to list this week :rolleyes: If anyone uses quidco there are loads of 'free' money to be had. Like if you take out a payday loan you could have £30 profit. Also bingo sites ask for £10 deposit and you get £20 back through quidco :j Worth having a look, plus most would clear and be in your account before the challenge ends too!
  • Does anyone know if you can do the pay loan thing twice?

    i did it once sometime last year? I am wondering if I can do it again ?

    Good to see lots of people. am a bit nervous my total is so big but I am currently doing summer school (not paid till september) plus I am teaching next week too, and then its the dreaded e bay....................If I had a pound for every time I moaned about e bay I wouldn't be in debt!!
