    Managed to make another £10 from the sale of another old car part, i should have advertised them straight away!!

    Got some more stuff to advertise as it is just sitting there garthering dust.

    If you don't use it definately see if you can sell it.
    As a well known supermarket says "Every little helps" :money:

    I think there are quite a few of us who have had several attempts at ditching the debt before actually sticking at it, so you certainly aren't alone!

    Would certainly agree with both the above ..... it took me 15 years and several attempts!:o

    Wishing you the best of luck in your DF challenge - you can do it!:)

    Had to spend money today

    Cost me £8.29 for postage of the car parts I have sold over the last couple of days.

    I was so proud that I managed to go into the post office and come out without buying a magazine/Mars Bar etc!

    Other than postage fees spend nothing else today
