Hiya, my first ever post after lurking for a while, please put me down for £4118.32 to pay off by xmas 2012. Nerve racking stuff posting on here but I know it will help me in my quest to be debt free

Welcome Shellgsxr, you've taken the first step and that's the most important one:j! Noone here will judge you, we're all a friendly bunch and will keep one another supported throughout this.

I'll add your name and amount to the 2nd post xxx

Thanks greensaints, I'm going to list some toiletries on ebay to try and get some pennies there. I've currently got 7 items with bids totalling £11.20 and they don't end until Tuesday, yay.

Fabulous! Keep it up

Hi banwa,

Don't be ashamed about you debt or the journey so far. We've all been there - I mean, look at my signature! :P

We're a team remember - we're in this together

:)Even though I wouldn't wish being in debt on my worst enemy, I like that there are people out there that understand and can give each other support IYSWIM:)

mf0u1098 - would you mind please amending my target to £15k and then I can count the money I have paid back so far (I only started in October). It might be a bit cheaty but having two sets of numbers to work out might be a bit too much for my featherbrain. The goal won't change, I am still aiming to have the debt under £10k by Christmas 2012

Good luck to everyone and hello to the all the people who joined after me too:wave:

I'm very new to this, but would like to pay off £2400 CC and £600 overdraft. Then I'll look at other monsters (mortgage, student loans....)

So put me down for £3000 please. Good luck everyone!!

What sort of toiletries are you selling? I've always been a sucker for buying smellies I don't need. I would naver have thought have putting them on ebay! I really need to get ebaying, I'm going to make a big pile opf all the stuff I should sell and get my backside in gear. Better to have a few quid, than a pile of stuff taking over my flat!:D

Welcome aboard Miss Information.

I'm currently listing some Clinique stuff that's not suitable for my skin type. I've also photographed anything from mouthwash, to nail files, to hand mits, to shower gel.

If I'm not going to use it then getting 99p for it or even 50p will make me happy. Otherwise it's sat collecting dust.
