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
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- I will keep you all in suspense until Sunday

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?

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.0 -
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!
