Afternoon all.
Am thinking I should wait before I list the mountain of things in my ebay pile - otherwise I won't have any way to make extra money in the new year
I might stick some of my party dresses (sob) on there now though as I'll probably make more money in the party season. Luckily I have some old diet books that can wait until everyone is in the new year diet zone. :jDebt at lightbulb moment (18 Aug 2009) 30933.95,Debt 1 July 2011 £9663.71Debt free date[STRIKE]February 2017[/STRIKE] September 20160 -
My plan so far, tomake up he short fall is to copy Bazwod and start now, I know its cheating but ever little helps. Either that or I may just sell everything I own (except the laptop so I can still come on here) lol x1vs 100 £505500/335.25 (5.5K COMING DOWN)20.00/10,000(10K GOING UP)Not long now0

I'll join in!! Doing it with other people will be great. Altough I doubt I can commit to 10k as I'm also geting married next year! Maybe 8 for me? Can't be sure yet as my payments arent quite sorted as I'm doing some juggling at the mo (hence I haven't done an SOA yet).
Great to know there are others in the mid 20s, cained their money at uni, continued to cain it when they got a job and are now paying the price club!!!

So here we are, it's only cheating a bit..... eek!! And we need all the help we can get eh?!
PMOL at Chris - floaters indeed!!! Sorry for lowering the tone...it's inevitable I guess. As for the red leggings - don't know where you got that image from!! (I dread to think in fact!!) The ribena berry is just in reference to my face going purple. Certainly don't wanna be drawing any more attention to myself by wearing red leggings!But yeah, i am a girl!!
As for the nail thing, I should qualify in March if I start in January... it'll only be a part time thing but hopefully will stop me from going to the shops on a saturday and will let me blitz the CC. I've told a few people at work that I'm going to do it and they're all ripping me, calling me a bimbo etc coz they think that nail technicians have no brains. Nothing like being stereotypical eh?! I didn't realise how much knowledge the technicians need. Anyway. Rant over!
Thanks for the permission to start early...... very generous of you
How about being a part-time lifeguard? Then you could fish out the floaters and make the pools a safer place! Or cleaning windows - easy money apparently. My friend reckon he earns £600 a week!! Anywho, off to learn about skin and muscles of the arm apparently...
