I've got an update
I've collected £172.56 so far from the following:
Pig :26.60
Lotto win: 10
Found in an old account : 20
Sold clothes :10
Sold Clothes:90
Sold on ebay (baby bits) £5
Books on amazon:10.96

I've still got a few books on amazon and a few bits on ebay (which have already been listed twice so don't think they'll sell at the minute) and now I've run out of things to sell :rotfl:

I've applied for a part time job and I'm scrimping as much as I can on the food budget

Loving the challege

Wow that's fantastic! :dance: :T

Well done

Bit of a change - I've decided against the part payment of the loan (other thread explains this).

But see that £31 in my sig? Just chucked it at my credit card debt via internet banking.

Well, I can't fritter it away now, can I? :rotfl:

Woohoo - just sold an item on Ebay already and got £10 for it.

Off to find what else I can sell now

I can just see one of us selling and doing everything that we possibly can and getting down to the last £1 of our debt and going around scouring the streets for any loose change!! :idea:

Tell you what, if you get down to the last £1 I promice that i'll pay it for you!
That offer is only open to the 10 in the challenge....not the whole board!

By the way I made a total of £2 profit on the ebay items so am down to £695. All that effort for £2!

Well I am absolutely shattered. We did a "post wedding" function last night. Finished at 1.30am and was home for 2.30am, then did a small 80th Birthday lunch this afternoon - started at 11.30am and just got home. Should make £150 at least from those (my husband does them as well, so it’s really worth it financially and we get to spend time together too). All of it is going towards the CC.

Bit of a pain, tried to pay NatWest CC through HSBC online banking and it's about the only CC that can't be paid. I have put the money in a savings account and will have to wait for the bill at the end of the month.

The Ebay items I put on for 1 day only got £4.20 - a lot of them didn't sell :rolleyes: - That'll teach me!!

I'm going to relist them tonight and they will hopefully sell this time.

Anyway, £4.20 comes off my debt

Hello fellow challengers!

I have some news......

When I put myself up for this challenge I said I had a CC balance of £1200.29.

I made a mistake. I have just checked my Excel spreadsheet with that CC balance on it and I actually owe £1224.29 as Tesco charged me 2% for tarting the balance over.

So, as ever, whilst everyone else's debt goes down...mine suddenly goes up. I must get the hang of this one day. :rotfl:

I think we can safely say who WON'T be winning this particular challange! :rolleyes: :rotfl:

Hi Guys,
Sorry I've been a bit absent! I've been having an involuntary money making hiatus this weekend and it's driving me nuts - I swear, the second I signed up to this challenge I started REPELLING money .However, my lovely boyfriend has given me his old MP3 player and I've listed it on Ebay, so that's a start. I'm also going to sell some clothes that are too big for me on ebay too - every penny counts.I also did that Screen saver trial, and got my 1st DVD at the weekend, so a cheque for £10 should be winging its way to me as we speak! :dance:I think I'm only feeling a bit poor because I didn't get paid as much as usual this week, so on Friday I'll be back on form - just need to get cracking to catch up with you all :eek:

Just sold the MP3 player on buy it now for £13.50 ! YAY!! Maybe it was underpriced? never mind, I'm updating my total anyway!
