62% and just over £9k as of today.
Definitely going to be working hard to reach my £10 a day target. Made a quick £15 on eBay yesterday by buying some UK exclusive make up at lunchtime, listing it for international sale at 2pm and I had the money in my PP account by 2.50! Awesome. I'll add it to my Feb total once it clears in my bank account.
Also need to get the Amazon trade in box done. Tonight!Total Debt Sept 2010 - £24,132.38 / Current - £0.00/ 100% paid

63% and under £9k! :j
DH has been working away this week (It was last minute and obviously he needed to take quite a bit of £ which wasn't in the budget) so it's going to be pretty tight for the rest of the month, but we don't really have any plans for nights out or anything so it should be ok.
We declined an invitation to a wedding because of ££ - felt a bit bad but I really didn't want to spend the £. I try not to let moneysaving spoil my fun too much, but this would have been upwards of £300 and I just couldn't do it.Total Debt Sept 2010 - £24,132.38 / Current - £0.00/ 100% paid

Well done on sub 9K MrsB! :j:T
I know what you mean with the wedding - it's hard but sometimes money has to come first.

Yes! Like holidays and nights on the town and meals out just because!
Although that's never really going to happen because we'll be spending all our money on renovating a house - but that'll be fun it its own way

I've packed my Amazon trade-in box up and just need to drop it off at the post office later. Hopefully I'll get the full £36 as I'm WAY behind on my £10 a day challenge for this month.
I need to eBay stuff *cries*. I'm not sure if I have anything left that's worth selling so I need to have a good look.
Supposed to be meeting friends tonight but I have loads to do at home and I may skip it.Total Debt Sept 2010 - £24,132.38 / Current - £0.00/ 100% paid

eBay is the stuff of nightmares isn't it!
Fingers crossed you get the full amount for the trade-inDebt at LBM Apr 2010 £28,767 Debt free as of Nov 2013 :j0 -
No real milestones been hit recently - just plugging away.
I have listed 3 things on eBay this week and I'm hoping for around £90 from it - so fingers crossed! Also hoping to find another few things this week.
I didn't take my Amazon trade-in box to the PO and now the value has decreased by a fiver. Serves me right! I'm definitely taking it down on my way to work tomorrow.

Plugging away is what gets us there in the end

Up to 64%!
Took my Amazon box to the PO, emptied my 5p jar (£30) and also have a few watchers already on my eBay sales so hoping to reach my £10 a day target this month.
DH wants a new (2nd hand) camera and so I told him that if he eBayed some stuff he could have the profit. We only need about £200 so it shouldn't take that long to get there.Total Debt Sept 2010 - £24,132.38 / Current - £0.00/ 100% paid
