Morning. Been dithering over a multi car policy for our cars since last night. The multi car is coming in at £300 cheaper for the year than the 2 separate policies. Both have been taken out within the past week so under the 14 day cooling off period. I want to cancel both policies and combine (obviously), DH isnt so keen as his was paid outright and mine monthly. So it means getting his refunded, we are unlikely to be able to pay the joint one outright which will up our monthly outgoings as DD for the multicar policy will be atleast £30 more plus the interest a month than just paying my current policy every month)

3 out of the 5 things that ended yesterday have sold, these are being posted today The others have been relisted.

A flying visit! 2% transferred to my bank account, I'm not going to be paying it off the CC for a wee while yet as it's helping me stay out of the overdraft, which in turn will mean no bank fees so more to throw at the cards iykwim!

Hoping for another % from ebay sales over the weekend as I've got some bids and lots of watchers on a couple of items, here's to a bidding frenzy!!! And I'm sticking to my budgets which I'm really proud of myself for doing as normally I last about a week then think "oh, just one wee treat" and I'm at two weeks since payday so far Monthly pay so it's a 5 week month for me so I've a while to trip up yet

Another 1% attacked due to not having wine this evening so that's 34.5% now YAYAYAYAYAYAY. Only 14p away from being sub-£300 on my Next Account too.

These virtual :beer: are good for the weight loss too - Me and OH have lost 2lbs this week:T

Keep at it everyone - every little helps!

Excited! A bid arrived on a piece of furniture - yipee! Space and money for debt repayments.

Rest of listings finish on Sunday some with watchers, a couple of bids and wait and see what happens

Some good work going on out there - lets keep at it! I found it strangely cathartic colouring 2 of my squares on my grid for the 2% made so far.

Happytails - I hope all goes well for you - good luck!

Just paid off my 1st 1% £9.62 but then realized I paid a little more than the 1%. Oh well every little helps.

My target is £900 to get rid of overdraft

Thanks

Hey all,

Percents will be slow going over the coming months and Christmas might have to go on hold this year.

I'll be out of a job as of 3 weeks tomorrow.

I'm glad I started tackling my debts head on in this way, as my minimums are lower now, I've got fewer bills to pay and I should be able to stretch my last few weeks pay a little further!

Thanks for all keeping me motivated! Time to go ebay crazy

Hey ecoverbee welcome to the 1% club

Awww little miss uni debt thats a bum , have you looked for anywhere wanting xmas temps, ive just applied for new look? 50% off clothes including sale!!! .

Also advertise yourself locally as a babysitter? This time of year tends to be busy with peoples work dos and all that.

Got another 3% coming my way tomorrow from babysitting and cleaning - on track to get 65% paid off by end of November.

Made a massive batch of veg soup made up from yellow ticketed stuff from mrT. Cant really go wrong with a swede for 16p and carrots for 8p!! Couple of onions and potatoes from stores and jobs a gud un!!

Want to find another revenue/savings stream but need some ideas.

So sorry you're losing your job hun. (((hugs))) Like you said-at least you're tackling your debt-I need to go ebay crazy too, it's so time consuming, I've been going to do it for so long and haven't really done anything about it.

fedupandskint

Sorry to hear that about your job - hug from me too x

I'm going ebay crazy at the moment too due to this thread kicking me up the behind to do it so its a big thanks to you for this too!
