And I've just realised I forgot about my loan which goes out of another account, so my total is now £663.86! I'm quite pleased with the progress so far! x

hello,
I'm new and have been looking at all the debt free wannabe posts to try and get myself sorted. I'd like to join this challenge if possible please. I rekon im about 22k in debt not including my mortgage so want to clear at least 10k this year. So far i have sold some perfume i have had for 6 moths and never opened, recycled my phone and sold my partners old ps2 which hes never goign to use now he has a new one. £60 off my debt in 3 days. I am also really pleased with myself as I went to b and q and did not buy a big plant that looked gorgeous and would have gone great in the space where christmas tree was! I have also done my first online shop at tesco to arive on tuesday night ( in the cheapest delivery slot) I know this is £3 that i could be saving but I have never ever managed to stay within any kind of budget when i go into the supermarket so this is a way of making sure i stay in budget. I'm going for £40 this week and aim to reduce to 35 next week. would have been 35 this week if i didn't have to feed my dog!! I am back to work on monday and I plan to not buy any food from the shop. in fact i think i'll leave my purse at home. enough waffle - sorry... can i join ..

no more spending great idea about leaving the purse at home. If you don't have the money with you then you can't spend it.

Hi Nomorespending,

Don't feel bad for the £3 delivery charge. Its worth more in the long run as you are not able to impulse buy and spend more than intended and you save petrol/transport costs too.

hiya all, still waiting to see if i paid into the right account for my secured loan, paid using internet for 1st time with this account and now worried i've used wrong sort code or something, need to wait until tommorrow to find out, Lou thanks for the book, haven't had chance to use it yet but will do this week just worked out i need to earn £3000 in january just to break even, this is because the engine on my taxi seized up the friday b4 chrimo so i've lost loads in lost earnings by having to drive for other people (and give them half my hard earned cash) oh well in comparison to other peoples problems its only a blip ..baz very similar thing happened to me 3 years ago at chrimo, heart goes out to you hope things work out they are doing for me slowly

its really hard for me at the moment, as i refuse to leave the house therefore no spend any money, so at the end of the month i will have more for the pot, i just wish i could update more often, but is all good at the mo

This challenge is FAB!

Have paid off £557 so far, but that's it now until the 8th (5 days and counting!) Would love to try and make £1k this month - fingers crossed!!

Well done to everyone so far - what a great start we have all made!

I am in the process of washing and ironing a load of items to go onto ebay - are single items or bundles of clothes better to sell??
