We have just upped our payments so we are now clearing a further £20 per week on top of the current budgetWas in debt £23k- Not now (12/07-12/10):T
Did smoke- Not any more (26-02-11):j
I am not perfect but everyone loves a trier don't they??:A0 -
woo hoo £684 paid off today :j
**off to update sig**I have learnt from my in-debt days....never again!0 -
:mad: I've just realised that when I inittially set up my sig I added up my origional debt wrong so instead of having paid off nearly £1,000 I've only paid off nearly £448
Oh well, £448 is better than nothing. I'll have to try to get up to £500 by the end of the month to make myself feel batter. Conssidering my CC and OD total will have gone up instead of down that's going to be a bit of a struggle.
Free eBay listing day here I come!0 -
Hi all,
First payment for ebay goods hit my paypal account this morning, promptly transferred to bank to pay to overdraft, another £ 113.49 off :j
Am waiting till Sunday for the free listing day to list some more items, think it will take me till Easter to get rid of all the stuff cleared from my loft tho LOL! I like Ebay, but really hate listing, it is soooooo time consuming (and boring) however am determined to keep going, thinking of that debt total coming down helps keep me motivatedWell done all you guys with mega totals this month - wow I'm so impressed, and a little healthy competition never does any harm
away to update my sig!

Only half way throught the month. 55 challengers out of 119 have given updates on target totals so far. We are in axcess of £30000 now but I reckon that if we can get a few more updates then we could exceed £50K by the end of month 1.
