    Yep and got some bids already . Most of the stuff I've listed will only make a couple of quid but hey every penny counts .I was on a roll so got some books onto Amazon aswell . :j
    I must say when I decided to join the challenge I didn't feel very hopeful about clearing the debt but I'm really gonna give it a hundred percent and its only a hundred days :p even I have staying power for a hundred days

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    that made me laugh. well done on getting bids already. i need to get all my stuff off turbo lister and onto ebay. already got a few things on amazon.

    now the question is are we all going to have a nice quiet bank holiday before the challenge begins or are we all going to spend it listing on ebay and coming up with money making ideas? :confused:

    New here but thought I'd join a challenge! We have a 0% deal up at the end of December with Halifax, huge amount but I think I'll try and reduce it by £1,000 if I can. I've got an ebaying pile and trying not to use the money from the tin which might help me contribute to the debt.

    Here's hoping!
    1st debt - Next [STRIKE]£583.32[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£408.71 [/STRIKE] £0 :j
    2nd debt - MBNA - £6,618.52
    First in many many to go - baby steps and all that!
    First lump sum to go - fingers crossed!
    08/06/09 - [STRIKE]£11,497.68[/STRIKE] NOW - £9,757.75
