Come on - positivity all round. At the very least we are all going to be trying our absolute best.
None of my ebay items finishing tonight sold, but i have relisted them and perseverance is the order of the day. I personally can't wait for the 1st. I am picturing myself as Scrappy Doo. 'Let me atta em Uncle Scooby, Let me atta em.'
I have faith in us all so i want us all to keep positive and encourage each other. Between us we are stronger than alone, and it has been proved in 3 previous challenges.
Well said :T0 -

Hi everyone, great to see so many people on board for this fab challenge. I too had pretty much convinced myself I wasn't going to make my target then I came on here and read all the positive comments, now I can't wait to get stuck in again!
Michelle - My fault for writing such a confusing post, but I only have one target of £2529.53 which includes the money I owe my boyfriend (That will be going as soon as the challenge starts!) Sorry for not being clearer, I had to read my original post through four times to even understand what my own target was
Only 5 days to go!Barclaycard [STRIKE]£7,296.35[/STRIKE] £6134.99 - MBNA [STRIKE]£4,182.88[/STRIKE] £3267.08 - O/draft [STRIKE]£569.31[/STRIKE] £413.59 - Capital One [STRIKE]£1477.55[/STRIKE] £1451.44Total debt [STRIKE]£12048.54[/STRIKE] £11267.10 6% paid0 -
I can't wait for this to start!
I've been ebaying and having a sort through the house and so far have made about £50 which is sitting in paypal or in an internet savings pot ready to be transferred to this total when it starts.
I'm also trying to shave about £45 off my budgets this month that will go towards the total too - I'm economising on food, petrol and spending money (just about £10 here and there on each) and hopefully then that will get me to £100 by payday (15th Sept).
Roll on Wednesday! (apart from that's when I syart a new job too so a bit scary!)0 -
Wow! Thanks you guys for your words of support :T, and apologies for my rather 'poor me' last post
, this is such a supportive place! I realise now that every penny towards the target will be a penny more than I would have paid without this challenge - Bring it on!!!

Ebay can be a bit slow at times. Using free listing ensures you are not losing any money. All we can do is try, even £100 off debts is better than nothing.Barclaycard 3800
Nothing to do but hibernate till spring

Put mine up by £110.77 please.
I've had the post through this morning to say I am now £574.35p in water arrears, so I'm gonna have to clear it at a rate of £5.75 a day to make it... ArssepastiesI refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
(Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)
As of the last count I have cleared [STRIKE]23.16%[/STRIKE] 22.49% of my debt.
