    blimey pap thats a lot of ebay stuff and trapsing to the post office. I have 6 items finishing tonight and they are currently at £87 :) whoooo hooooo. Am just going through my 3 remaining debts and hatching a plan to have them paid off asap.

    I have oustanding £6721.00. One of the debts is £1600 and I have some in savings that I am going to offer another F&F on (have already offered twice before which they turned down) I never imagined I would be so close to paying off all my debts, when I came here back in 2006 I had 36k of debts..phew.
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
    Finally Debt Free...

    These 'top up credit cards' I can see a fee for getting the card but what other fees are there?

    :mad: I just uploaded 31 items last night onto ebay. Just took photos for my second set and now have 54 to upload by tommorow night. My ebay pile doesnt look as if its been dented at all :rolleyes:

    It's a pain now but you'll be glad of it when the items sell and the money comes in! :T

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Could you not just open a new current account with a debit card, and transfer so much into it from your main account each week/month. Would avoid any charges :confused:
