    I would not recommend a DMP at all. All you need to do is cut your weekly shop by £3 per week and you can meet all your minimum repayments.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    I agree - I'm looking to avoid a dmp at the moment. Presently I am looking for a way to reduce debt mountain.

    Just a general question - where is the best place to sell books and dvd's? Is it eBay, or else where (like amazon)?

    Cheers!!

    People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks. Years later, a doctor will tell me that I have an I.Q. of 48 and am what some people call mentally !!!!!!.

    2nd item sold! Another £110 towards the total. Only the PSP and watch to go, and it should be 1% of my total gone!

    Happy Monday everyone!

    New week, and a new week of making some money. Payday today as well, so the bank looks almost healthy. Until everything goes out anyway. Will try and make this month the overpayment month, if only by a couple of quid.

    Also signed up to the mystery shopper sites, hopefully something may come from this as well.

    Any other suggestions for upping the income?
