    Hey do you guys think that customising cardigans and selling them is good for making money? x

    Yes, definitely; there was a company (I can't remember the name) which sold cardigans and T shirts covered in, for example, patches and applique flowers etc, for £35 upwards and these were gorgeous and popular.

    Hiya all

    Managed to pay off some overdraft today after my kind bank decided it should be halved over xmas :rolleyes:

    Nice idea to look at payments made as a % of the total Jojitsui-makes you realise what you have achieved rather than what's left. :j

    Ouch about the overdraft!

    And thank you! Debt busting has become Srs Bznz in this house, so we're stomping through while we've got the money!

    Debt-free and Proud!
    :j Yay I managed to make my first payment today :j

    I don't feel so behind now...... Although it is only £30. :rotfl: I did some work for my parents and they knocked it off my debt to them, and as I know that balence won't go up again Im going to add it to my total. All my other debt payments come out of my overdaft throughout the month so I wont really know where I am until the last day but hopefully I can post a much better total then.

    Glad your all havng a good day
