Welcome Karrie :wave:

Its never to late to join the debt free journey We love newbies here, jump straight in and tell us everything, we dont care if its youve paid a £1, sold some knickers on ebay, auctioned off your significant other or made your own bra from a coat hanger and a ruined bed sheet, we like to know (and quite often want patterns as well . . anything to save money on this thread :rotfl:)

Mfou will appear like a tornado, tear up the thread and dollop a number on you, she will also add you and your target to the front page which yo might want to have a squint at as it lists lots of interesting links to help you reach your debt free goal :j

Watch out for a post from Kerri who is very kind and thinks up little challenges for us to do, there is no neccessity to join in if you dont want to its just a little extra incentive (we wont mention shes late this week :shhh:)

As long as its not another 2 minute shower! The only time I get any peace is in the shower! Cant even get a bath without people bursting in dog trying to jump in!

The shower is my sanctuary!

Aww thank you!

Today I made £40 (after fees) on eBay, and signed up to the fiscal fasting challenge on the old style board.

My weekly spends are set at £60 (after bills) but I am aiming to pay extra to all my debts (interest- boo!)

I think this is a great way to keep focused and get new ideas for treats on a budget!

Also made payments:

200 to bos credit card
30 to capital one
200 to loan
15 to Littlewoods ( buy now pay later)

Welcome to Karrie and Queenie! I live in Canada, so the 8 hour time difference means that my postings are always way behind time! Good luck with the savings - they are a v friendly gang here!

Thank you all for your hello's.

This challenge will be a good motivation for me. I've wanted to be debt free for as long as I can remember but this year my LBM changed everything for me for the better. I'm just over half way there and raring to go, now I get excited about paying money on to a bill rather then spending it, how times have changed

Oh and our monthly shopping bill has gone down from £450 to £120 a month. I used to throw so much away it was ridiculous.

Oh and now I am obsessed with my Eb*y app I think I must have refreshed it about 20 times today.
