    Good luck to whoever joins - it really does work and gets you really motivated. It's more fun than clearing your debts on your own too :D

  • Unfortunately my debts are in excess of £1200, but raising that amount would be a help and a step in the right direction.

    Am happy to hear your suggestions about general rules. I will be counting any profits I make through ebay, £2 club and any other wheeler dealing that I get up to!

    I Think We Should Have At Least A Weekly Update (i Work Shifts So I May Not Have Access To A Computer For A Couple Of Days At A Time) But Im Sure I Will Be More Regular Than That!! We Must At All Times Be Truthful And I Will Also Be Countin Ebay Profits, £2 Club And Any Other Means Of Getting Cash - Im Off Now To See What I Can Put On Ebay
    Good Luck.....
