I think thats a great idea, what about a 'movie night sweetie pack'. Lots of goodies, chocs and popcorn and some fizzy drink! All in a goodie box! In fact this would be a good idea for kids party packs too!

Not a crazy idea, many moons ago we had a shop van that would come around the estate much like an ice cream van would, and also a chip van :rotfl:

There have been many occasions after a heavy night that BF and i would have gladly paid to have a sunday dinner delivered

When I was little we used to have a mobile shop that would come round selling sweets, pop, basic tinned stuff, crisps, bread, milk and cigarettes. We also had a mobile chippy once or twice a week.
We often think it would be good if there was a cafe/type thing (open in the evening) that sells just desserts-yummy. x

Got a bid on an Ebay item, but a buyer wants to return something i sold last week as it had a rip in it (im sure it didnt but hey ho).

Not got much further with anything else. Waiting to get paid tomorrow to sort things out and see where we are at.

Hi all

Just quickly checking in - think it has been 4 weeks since I first read this thread. I am now at 19% :j

I can't even begin to describe how exciting this is, particulary as we are on such a reduced income due to being on maternity leave. I'm so proud - and so grateful to Little Miss Uni Debt This week 3% has come from ebay and 1% from fatbrain. I would like another 7% from ebay sales alone before the end of October as when I get to 25% I will physcially go into the bank, pay it in and reduce the overdraft limit. I have 29 things listed at the moment and then plan to sort my clothes and a cupboard of bits and bobs in the baby's room.

Take care

Hi
Over the last few days I have read pages 1-30 and decided to give it a go. I don't specifically have a debt to pay off but I am about to hand in my notice on a job that currently has me off work with stress. As I don't have another job I have worked out that the bare minimum I can live on per month to get the bills paid is £1000 so allowing 2 more months to find a job after my 3 month notice period expires I need £2,000 therefore my 1% is £20.
I have got a few bits on EBay and I am up to £3.70 - I also have a clothes recycling shop around the corner so will try to find 10kg to take there. From following the posts I have also put 2 offers up on fivesquids and will try to think of more to do.
I think now that it has stopped raining I will go for a walk and see if I can find any 10ps on the floor.
Fab forum guys, you have convinced me that I can change my life for the better.

HI everyone,

welcome jeneflower

I think the chocoplate idea is fab happytails - if only you lived near me - I would spend all my %'s on chocolate if I could

Well I have just paid into the savings pot my £30 birthday money so I can now officially declare:-

Member 17 = 88% :j

Only 12% more to go - wow - it feels amazing and this challenge has helped so much. I even think it has been spurring hubby on to see the account rising each month - so much so that the motorbike sale money has now cleared into the savings pot and we have reached our £40k target (which we aimed to get by the end of this year!!) :j:j:j:j:j

Hi

Thank you for the welcome, I feel like I know you all from reading your posts. Well I have done it, notice has been handed in so I am desperately job hunting as well as trying to build up my £2,000 but I feel like a massive weight has lifted and a I ready to face the new challenge. :j

Hopefully I will have my first 1% to report soon.

I'm going to start again with "baby steps" on this I think, and just take one debt to eliminate to start with. it's for £600 so my 1% will be £6.00.

I've reduced this debt to £250 before but built it up again, so I feel I need a plan to save up the money on the side, then close the account!! Otherwise it will never go!:rotfl:

It's the same £600 that is in my sig as one debt in 100 days. Same idea really I suppose, but I won't put a time on it, I'll just try to get my percents as quickly as possible!

1% = £45
Current Total = £45

I decided to go with this! I've added all my debts, because I think it'll be most productive - and kick started the challenge by paying off 1% right away.

Already got a lot of inspiration from the board, looking forward to putting it into practice.
