    Hi Guys!!

    I was wondering if i could join you on this challenge but with a little difference. Basically my OH needs to pay £1000 off his mortgage arrears in the space of 50 days in a bid to prevent his house being repossessed :eek::eek::eek:

    If i join you here i am hoping to keep him on track and record his progress - hope this is ok :)

    Woo hoo, just sold my first item on Amazon.. I only listed it yesterday. That's another £15 off my debt.. off to look at some more items that can be listed as this is going to be the main source for paying off my debt.

    So that's £27/422

    Well i have been working on the £1000 we need today by listing on ebay (have some bids already :) ) and by signing up for a bingo offer. So far have made £45 and another £10 if the cashback tracks ok - not a bad start i think :)

    Also have written a plan of things to sell etc so fingers crossed we get there!

    Will add the money together once it is received so still sitting at £0/£1000 at the minute but on our way at least :)
