    That means I have beaten my target! :T Only by £1 at the moment, but I can work on that :D

  • Well done on the payment Beccie! Will you continue to overpay your August target or just start early on September?

    Thanks Emz :)

    Thanks Pennies. Will carry on overpaying August - the more I can the less I'll need to pay in Dec 2012 which is my current final target of £938. Really want to get my DFD down to Nov 2012 if I can as it would be nice to have all my money to myself for Xmas that year :D

  • I'm pretty sure that you are going to be debt free before November 2012 Beccie! Probably more like April the way you pay it off!

    How's the £10 a day challenge going for you?

    April would be lovely! I can but try :D

    Only £129 so far, so not so good. Am working at the pub tonight so should be collecting another £75 roughly for last weeks wages. I really only seem to be using pub and cleaning money, really not doing so well with surveys, ebay etc

    How are you finding it?

  • Not too bad actually, I've been using the money from surveys and a few eBay sales although I've only sold 6/7 items at 99p to £1.50! And I completely undercharged on postage for a couple of them! Lol But never mind, you live and learn!

    My £48 lottery win really helped kickstart me for this month though!

    Doing a car boot sale either this weekend or next weekend with my mum which should help too as I don't get overtime at work and don't have any second job either!

    That was a good lottery win :)

    I'm sure you'll do well at the boot sale - think they are a much easier way of selling the items that only go for 99p on ebay.
