    Quick weekend update post....

    Toluna redemption means I am sitting on 7000 points, only 73,000 to go for another Amazon voucher :rotfl:

    iPod is sold :j I am posting it away today, so that will be more money for the loan/credit card pots.

    I have listed three DVDs on Amazon this morning which were competition wins. All are brand new, so hopefully will sell quite quickly and give me more money to fling in the direction of my debts.

    This week has been a Bad Week For Budgeteering due to being away in Englandshire. I spent money there on lunches/dinner (reclaimable, but takes a few days) and then when I got back it was really late so I didn't have time to go to the supermarket. On Thursday I was out for dinner so didn't go then either. This has meant that there is b*gger all food in the house and that I have paid for lunch every day this week. Oops. It is easy to forget how quickly you can fritter money away :o

    Portable DVD player will go on Amazon/Gumtree today or tomorrow. I typed the details in to Amazon and the pictures look different to what I have, so I need to make sure I'm not selling under false pretences. According to Amazon the thing is worth £90, so anything even close to that would be fab.

    Must dash just now. Overtime is once more on offer at work, so I'm getting it out of the way early in the hopes of being able to pretend it's the weekend. Not sure how happy Mr F is going to be when I tell him we're off to Asda later :D

    Statement of Intent

    I am going to pay my loan off by the time I turn 30.

    Outstanding debt: £1,984.46

    Time until 30th birthday: 192 days (I think....)

    Debt to repay per day to hit target: £10.34, which is around £310 per month.

    This is entirely achievable given that I am currently getting £300 per month in rent and am also working a lot of overtime. It would in fact be amazing to be debt free before 30, and I think that these figures show it's possible. It becomes more possible when you remember that I am making my £128 minimum payment anyway regardless of any additional payments.

    Just needed a little post to remind myself that being debt-free is so close!

    With my aim to clear the loan in mind, I'm about to start listing stuff on Ebay. *shudder*
