Pay off as much as you can in 2011 Challenge!

Hi Everyone,

Have had £0 for most of the month - it has been so hard trying to make ends meet and i have only been able to cover my outgoings by borrowing money :(:(:( A combination of me buying a few things that OH asked me to pick up and never gave me the money for :mad: and a loss of some p/t hours unexpectedly has really made this a very difficult month for me. I know it is the same for all of us - has been really frustrating not being able to overpay :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Just paid 1 of the bills i had to borrow money for. Money has been set up to automatically pay this back when i get paid at end of the month.

New total: £1966.45 /£10,000 will be over £2000 paid though when DD comes out tomorrow :T

I found it really useful reading how others got extra funds in - eg overtime, ebay etc. So wanted to let you all know what i have been doing - trying to get up to payout on survey sites - there are 3 main ones i do now, 1 i have just joined - the other 2 i have been doing for a while - on 1 i believe i am 1 survey away from payout :T:T:T i have been doing this for over 18mths so will do this last survey and then not bother with this one any more - it is too time consuming & i spent 20minutes answering questions the other day and was then told i was screened out :mad: I have had a few things on e-bay but really need to get more on there. I also sold a book on greenmet but have already withdrawn money this month - to cover some DD's Hoping to do a carboot soon too.

Well done on payments everyone - i have been reading even though i have not had any payments to post and do find this thread very motivational

Morning Folks

Really hard getting up this morning with the clocks changing anyway, just logged on to read the posts from the wknd.
Another small payment made to Egg this morning £29.00. This rounds the outstanding balance on Egg to £2650.00.

Hope everyone has a good week and can't wait to see the total we've all paid towards the debt this month!
