Hi jwil and everyone doing this challenge,

I know I'm a late comer but I really want to join in!

My target is to pay off all of £7424 and have fun trying!

My first payment won't be til payday at the end of the month I think, so I'll be lurking til then.

Continued good luck to everyone and keep up the good work

Thank you - it always reminds me that kindness and friends (and a sticky bun!) go a long way.

Hello all,
Had a great luxury weekend in Zurich (press trip) which really reminded me how the other half live. Sigh. Still, grateful to get the chance to go. Came back to a real GRRRRRR ebay moment; we were selling our sofa bed which is a really good one; hoped to get around £100, had 50 watchers. It sold for £20. Very depressing! I never put reserves on so I know that I just have to accept it but I really thought with 50 watchers I'd be OK. What were they all watching it for>???

And to top it all I can't take the paypal money out as I only have £49 in there (you get charged for any withdrawal under £50) so I just have to wait until I sell something else. Pah. Wanted to pay some money off!

Grrr indeed - how annoying!

You can take money out of Paypal without being charged - I do it all the time. I think they changed it a while ago. I'm not sure there's a limit at all any more, I've transferred less than £10 on many an occasion.

Glad you had a good weekend though!

Welcome PiggyBankShaker (love the name!). You're very welcome to join us. No need to lurk, feel free to join in the general chat even if you haven't made a payment. It all helps keep us motivated.

Thanks for the updates everyone, I hope you all had a good weekend.

£67 for me today towards my CC. I need to work in some extra payments, it makes the month seem very long without the totals going down.

Oh really? Well thanks Paypal for letting me know!

Anyway I found a wayround it. I used to do slicethepie and had nearly $10 in the account there, so I reviewed a few tracks to make up to $10, moved it to my papal and then had enough to withdraw.

So now £54.07 to Clubcard. Am trying to kill clubcard before the rate jumps from zero to god knows what in July, without having to do another balance transfer.
