    Bit new to all this forum stuff - how do I create a footnote to record progress? Probably something terribly obvious. x

    Wasnt obvious to me either Reevsey - I had to be told too!

    Go to the User CP (dark green bar near the top of the page) and then choose edi signature from the side bar menu.

    Hi Jwil and everyone else :wave:

    I would love to join please. Put me down for £19,000 as that will just about halve my debt (yes, I am in a lot of debt!!).

    I have no idea how I will do this by the way but maybe a miracle will happen and will have a big competition win :D.

  • Hi Jwil and everyone on the thread :wave:Can I join please. Would like to go for £3000 as that should clear my card (I hope so as that's the limit!:o) As well as everyone noting their payments, would everyone be able to write where this payment has come from, eg, spare money in bank, ebaying money, mystery shopping etc, as I think this would help people with ideas and tips on how to make that bit of extra cash.
    £9,000 (Ish) in 2013
    Paid:
    £32.20 / £4492.66 Debt
    £50.00 / £650.00 Holiday
    £00.00 / £4000.00 House

    Good idea CL. See where people are finding the money.

    I wonder how much my soul will go for on ebay?
