    Hello all.

    I paid £4.54 off yesterday (ebay sale), and then paid £60.01 today (from P/T earnings). No work this weekend so probably won't make much more progress for a little while. Hopefully things will pick up again next week.
    I have a very busy weekend this weekend so prob. won't be around much.

    Enjoy you weekends all.

    Have a good weekend :D

    I won't be able to clear any more off until Sunday when my Ebay auctions finish. They are doing very well at the moment too :D - I will keep you all in suspense until Sunday :D

    Hi everyone

    I made £355.35 on Ebay yesterday so that's going towards the total. I'll stick a few more things on Ebay on Tuesday to see if I can push my total over £500.

    How is everyone else doing?

    Emily :D
  • Hey there

    I'm still here plugging away. I'm not on the board or this thread much at the moment as in order to finish this particular challenge I have taken on a weekend job and got myself a week job so am working 7 days a week. Extreme I know but that it the kinda person I am and this debt is like a lead weight around my neck. Haven't got my figures to hand but just wanted to say yes! I am still here zzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

    My weekend job haven't paid me yet for last month as they keep saying the lady in accounts is a bit slooooow. How frustrating. BASTWERDS!

    I also did one mystery shop.

    I have also got some evening work at the end of the month for 3 nights.

    My total should be under a grand by Thursday...

    Not a limb (but that has given me an idea :idea:), just some jewellery I had. In my reckless spending days, I purchased some platinum jewellery as I am allergic to nickel and can't wear gold or silver.

    I therefore sold a couple of pieces of it. I've still got a necklace that my boyfriend bought me and a ring that my whole family bought me so I will keep those for now.

    Wow Em! WELL DONE! I seem to have stalled at the moment - I'm off sick with tonsilitis, which means that I wont get paid for job 2 for the time I'm not there (curses to temping without sick pay!) Might be able to squeeze a bit more out to make another payment this week - will keep you posted.

    Hiya everyone,
    After a very slow restart i've got £400 to pay off my debt. All the money is from selling bikes, climbing frames, books, a computer, old stock and everything else in our shed and attic. Feel a bit better now!
