Sold 5 books on Amazon yesterday and the house is starting to look like a house again - well nearly. Sorted things out for ebay. Got DD to photograph it - she enjoyed using the camera for the first time and did very well - and then I couldn't get anything to upload onto ebay!!!!! I was not pleased! I think it is a browser issue because I use an applemac - I tried Safari, Camino and Opera. Any ideas???First Direct Loan @ 7.9% £13,076.03/£20,250
Mint CC @ 18.9% £3030.29/£3100 Virgin CC @ 34.9% £651.46/£2700 Tesco CC @ 0% 1366/1500

Oh well...I'm still way under so I'm pleased with that!! In fact my primary share is half the national average!! :j
What annoyed me was that the secondary sources were more than the average primary share, so unless the government takes action on business and their own waste no matter how much energy i save there will still be loads of CO2 pumped out on my behalf.
Gonna phone up the leccy company and see if their green energy costs the same and if not they will get a stern talking to (ie me shouting at them down the phone:rotfl: :rotfl:)Debt of £6300 cleared in 5 years, now ZERO0 -

Another few items sold on Amazon and my pay out from Egg Money (Thanks for the reminder EagerLearner), total now at £687.58. Way behind some of the rest of you but getting there slowly.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0

Just a reminder for anyone who hasn't done it yet to join cashback sites and a little earned on each site goes a long way towards this challenge as all you have to do is click your mouse to get the money.
It takes disclipline but I have an A4 Daily Click routine if anyone wants it to put on the wall/on your desk. You can pick and choose which sites to join, I am with 4 which I find very good. An MSER helped me get onto it so I am happy to help anyone else out too with questions etc. Just PM me your e-mail address and I will send you the Click Routine, you then choose what sites to join from the 4.
PS: Also check out my Debt Buster thread in my sig if you want a spreadsheet to help you knock down the debt...MFW #185
