Is anyone up for a mini challenge to get us through to the end of January (and to another payday?)
I'd like to pay off another £120 this month but have run out of the usual ways of doing it! So I'm going to find 6 ways to make £20. Anyone want to join me?
That sounds good, not sure I'll join in this month, but I'll cheer from the sidelines and maybe take part another month!£90 paid yesterday out of wages, bill came through so have paid the money I had put aside. Strange thing about my bill is that my min last month was around £81, I paid approx. £100 off last month and my min payment has gone down to £52, thought that was quite a lot of difference for £100. Oh well, I'm paying off more than that anyway I have to apologise though Jwil, I have just had both my statements in and I have managed to work out my debt properly now so my target has changed, balance now:
£419.77/£5423.06
No probs, will update the totalsseasideDreamer wrote: »Please can I join in? I want to pay off £6842.49. This is made up of 5 credit cards, I'll tackle my overdraft overwards. Hoping to buy a house with my BF in the next few months so its going to be tough, however I'm putting virtually every penny into getting as much of this paid off before we buy.

eBay's always the best place to start!
I had a few good sales on Amazon recently as well. Its just getting motivated to list.
Do you have an iPhone? FieldAgent can make you a few £s if you're lucky with jobs being local.
ETA: sorry for taking the thread off topic!
I don't think it's off topic, and I am happy for the discussion to stay here, we all need inspiration to raise extra money to get to our targets and it's good to see what others are doing!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Welcome to all the newbies, and thanks for all the updates, there are some great payments being made! Off to update the first page now ..."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0
