Hey Em - you done that form yet?:p
Hahaha no i haven't found it yet! Trouble is it needs to be done on paper but we don't have a printer at home, so if i don't find it it'll have to wait 'til Monday!
Right, i'll have a better look! My search so far was a bit rubbish - i just scanned the sides on my way to the fridge for trifle and back again
How are you doing Jo? You've got a great total for 1st week :TJust £10,852.28p to go...
Trust that little voice in your head that says "Wouldn't it be interesting if...";

Yay great to have you here, always good to 'see' new 'faces'

Em - are the questions straight forward? if not maybe work them out and write them down ready for when you find/ re-print the form.
I'm great actually Em. Feels good to have a different car and also have swapped some of our debt around a bit and although its not reduced it it means it will be far easier to work on and some of my immediate worries are gone. yay.
Am dying to know what you're up to.lol.

Well I hope your hubby's one of the lucky ones who manages to keep his job or snap up another opportunity in the event of losing it. Great that you're joining in with the challenge :T I can't imagine I'd have much energy left after looking after 5 children so well done you!Just £10,852.28p to go...

Hello everyone,
I'm a lurker who is desperately trying to read through everyones posts from the begining. Can I ask a daft question please. If u go shopping and buy something in the sale, saving yourself £10 do u actually draw out £10 from your bank and put that in your savings account toward your £11k? Or do u just write down that u saved £10? Sorry if that's a bit dense but I'm new to this x0 -
Hi all
Like a lot of others I am making progress but slowly. Lots of ebay sales have finished tonight but I won't count those just yet.
I sold two items totalling £80 cash on collection which I paid in today and will transfer straight to the mortgage on Monday.
There should be another £30 tomorrow from another person collection and I sold loads of cds and dvds to get £20 on music magpie and 10% on Quido, all good progress but I am worried I will struggle to get to £1000 this year. I have £32 one Onepoll so will count that when it gets up to £40 but that could be a while. I used to live in a great MS area but there is nothing round here except one fast food place but even that is a 20 minute drive.
I am plodding on with Toluna but it is slow going and Pigsback but that is even worse but at least I am off the mark and any money raised is better than noneDebt Free - done
Mortgage Free - done

If i save £10 then i do put it in my pot but its up to you what you do with that £10. Good luck with the challenge!0
