    Come on hypno, there must be something else you are doing :confused:
    There must be some lucrative stream of cash coming from somewhere - and it's not as if you really Ebay or Amazon much do you?
    I'm perplexed at how you do it............really I am!

    Already you have paid of 6 times more than me on the 20k challenge (£3k in January :eek: :T) and almost 10 times on the £10k - i just don't get it....................

    Please. Do tell :D

    now you see, I can't compete with that :rotfl:

    macgirl - remember, I have been doing this so long that I live and breathe MSE and debtbusting! Every spare penny from our income goes to the debt, with almost nothing in the shopping budget/entertainment/new clothes etc....no sparkly leggings here! I really am tight, all in the interests of getting free of that debt asap!! As a result, I have no life :rolleyes:

    As for the £10k challenge - I've had a couple of payouts from scratchcards and casino reloads.....a therapy client....and a bit of mystery shopping.....it just all adds up over time!

    Practice makes perfect, IMD.....as I say, I have been doing this for so long now, day in day out.....it certainly didn't happen overnight, and for the first 6 or so years of being in "big debt" we just waded through treacle, making absolutely no progress whatsoever, just lurching from one month to the next with a sick feeling and many sleepless nights. It is only relatively recently that it has started to come together.....that's when the big progress is made :D

    Stick with it - it will work for you, honest!

    Artistic stuff is not my strong point, P.....but I would start with putting some keywords into google images and seeing what pics come up there.

    Is it me - or is it not advisable to use a laptop in the bath (very decadent though I must say!).
    Kind of makes me think of The Delicatessen :eek:
