Hi guys, saw a thread on DFW about a head to head that started beginning of August.
If anyone is interested in having a go at a similar thing then please let me know, i think it will give the much needed encouragement to "crack on" paying off some debts!
Or maybe we could have the first person to save a certain amount? eg: £250/£500.
If anyone is interested please post a reply.
Thanks, noggin

hi raphael and honeybee.
i think it would take me a lifetime to save 1000! so shall we say 400? that way honeybee can pay off her credit card before baby arrives!
First one to £400 wins! good luck and may the best squanderer win!
keep each other posted with progress!

I have listed 70 odd books and a couple of DVDs and have already sold about 13 books, don't seem to be making much money though now the postage has gone up, in some cases I have been paid £1.47 and its cost me £1.32 to send so a profit of 15p
but others have done better, when I have a toal I will let you know and add it to my sig., I am also adding to ebay as we speak so fingers crossed for Sun night when they end.
