Any1 want a head to head debt clearing sesh?

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!

    Ill start: £3 (4/9/06)

    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 :cry: 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.
