    Got quite excited today, I managed to save £8.50 on the stuff I needed for my course (note books and pens) by using a £5 voucher and going for sale notebooks only. : ) Definitely counting this towards my total.
  • I'll be using the following to increase my chances of reaching my target:

    EBay
    Quidco - alreading awaiting a payment of £1.16 with another £20 soon to follow
    Any money saving vouchers - the difference or saving will go in the pot
    I do some crafty stuff which I'm hoping to sell
    Eggs from my chickens
    And looking at ways to sell any gluts of fruit and veg I may get this year from the garden
    Any money we "come into" will be put towards it as well

    Anything coming in will go into saving and a percentage will go into the debt in my siggy as it's 0% interest. Once cleared anything else will go into the ISA
    Either way I WILL finally clear this debt
    Cabot (0%) left to pay £2455 let the overpayments commence! :D

    I will do the usual things like ebay and quidco and so on but also will be making more cakes (especially Birthday cakes) and sell them with a bit of profit.

    The only debt we have is our mortgage and we are trying hard to pay off some more every month. At the moment it is an OP of £400 a month.

    Husband got £20 from Open Mic, so am saving this too!

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

  • a big thanks to meenie for this thread. This will be my very 1st challenge even though i have been lookin on mse for about 6 years now.

    Very excited and this thread will give me the motivation to clear out my spare room so i can build a craft room. cant wait to start reading everyones posts and seeing everyones totals adding up.

    My 1st aim is to get to the target of £2012 which will go straight in to savings
    anything more than that will be a bonus
