    £83 to the loan :)

    Didn't end up going for dinner last night as my brother wasn't well so that's postponed till next Monday now.

    Working till 8:30 tonight and then we're having an early Xmas in the pub. The landlady's boyfriend is going in for a stem cell transplant on Thursday and will be in hospital over Xmas so we're having a party for him early.

  • Well done Beccie, you're really hammering that debt!

    When does your 1 debt vs 100 days challenge end?

    Tomorrow! Won't make it but am pleased as that only included payments towards my loan.

    Next one I think I will try £5,000 off total debt - £50 a day :D

  • Well over £3000 off the loan is still a great achievement!

    You'll be under 12k by Christmas anyway!

    £11 to the loan :)

    I've finished my 100 day challenge at £3,018, so not too bad :)

    Thanks Pennies, I'm going to push for sub 11K by Christmas, I want to start the new year with a 10 at the front of the number! :D

    Have just printed the postage labels for my first attempt at trading in paperbacks on Amazon, it's a 25p giftcard per book.

    Postage to send is free and if the book doesn't meet their standard they return it for free too, so it looks good.

    Am doing this first one as a test, if it goes well I will be offloading a LOT of books on them! :D
