I don't think it's sad at all jakes-mum, I was so addicted to the challenges that I had to set up one of my own just so I didn't have to wait until January! Just think, in just over a years time you will be opening that sealed pot to spend on what you like, NOT to give it to someone else. xxx

p.s. I'll update your total hun

Anyone know of any good survey sites? I am in a job where I can't go out mystery shopping, it has to be internet based and I need to think of ways to maximise my income!

Valued Opinions, One Poll, Just the Answer, UK my survey and Panelbase.net are all ones I do and get OK payouts from - One Poll pays out £40 but you have to stick with it for months to get there as the surveys are only worth 10p or 15p a go. I'm finally at £30.90 after months and just need to get the last £10 built up:rotfl:!

£4'000 for me please which works out at a scary £333 per month!

Taken off my car loan as this will be paid off anyway so just including credit card, overdraft and ground rent which is overdue.

Hi, can I join in please?

I'd like to pay off my £1800 overdraft which I have floated near the limit of for nearly a year now - which works out at £150 a month.

I have just got a new part time job, other ways are going to be

• ebay
• surveys
• more NSDs
• less frittering
• more walking and less getting the bus

I'm sure I can think of more. Please keep me focused

Hey all can I join....have swapped a lot onto interest free cards lately so that's made it easier to pay some off wooo!!! Paid a settlement on my car today woo so it's finally all MINE!! woooooo!! although had to use some of my overdraft to pay for it!!!

So as of today I now owe approx: £6,900...although £450 of this is left from a loan that gets paid every month via standing order so this is already added in my budget!!

The good news is that next week when I get paid and my Boyf gets paid and gives me some back.. I'll be able to clear one Overdraft fully so that every single penny I owe won't incurr any interest at all...that's a good feeling in itself as before I dread to think how much I was paying in interest!!

Good luck all it's gonna be hard but we can get there!
