Head to Head £250

Trying to motivate myself to pay off a chunk of my debt. Saw a thread by someone who had managed to pay off just over £1000 in a couple of months. I know we're a few days already into the month but does anyone fancy going head to head with me and the first one to £250 wins. The motivation would be good and well as keeping each other going.
If you're interested please let me know.

hi, I'll take your challenge!
I already have £100 coming in so I won't count that, I'll start today as a new day!
Just to clarify is it extra income I need to make? if so, I'll have to get ebaying, Mystery Shopping and stuff FAST!

Hi Leni, its really just a goal of £250 to go towards paying off my credit card. Yours can be for whatever you want it for. Would just be good to have the motivation from each other. Basically we start from now, anything goes....ebay, amazon marketplace etc etc.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0

Hi Littlestar, I'll add you to the list. I'll maybe add a fourth (if we get one) if both you and Leni agree. Thought £250 was a good target to start off with so we don't get disillusioned.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

Hi ellas9602, yep you can. Will keep this to the four of us though. Keep us posted of any 'extra' money you can make from now onwards towards the goal of £250.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.
