    Thanks for the heads up themoneyspider :) Got a few bits to list and will relist everything that doesnt sell this sunday :)

    Horse riding lessons going up by £2 a lesson (we have 1 a week), bit of a bummer but needs must. Its a hobby DD is keen on and TBH i want to take it up when we are in a better financial position so its imperative we keep going. :o She did really well at her lesson today even if she wasnt her normal chatty self.

    Going to see if i can get both kids asleep at a decent hour and then make a start wrapping up Xmas presents (they are currently in babys cot so once wrapped will go on top of my wardrobe out of the way. Going to keep a list of people ive bought for. So far its all kids gifts.

    Oooh, another free listing weekend! Think I'm going to stick a bunch of jewellery on there and hope for the best!

    Got a few bits on ebay that finish tonight, so I keep refreshing the page (even though I get alerts on bids to my phone - which is right beside me! =P)

    I'd like to join please! MY 1% IS £60
    I am so inspired by the 1% idea.

    I started making overpayments on my loan in April 2012.
    On Excel I made a table of 100 cells for my £6000 debt. Each cell being £60 (this does not include the minimum payment)
    So far I have 14 gold coloured cells = 14% paid off :j .
    84% to go!!
