The support on this thread really has inspired me and I do have a lot of of other money systems and tactics that I have used during other stages of my finances that may help others too.
It wouldn't be for profit, the more people it can reach the better! If people found it useful maybe it would open a door into writing for me!GE 36 *MFD may 2043

Progress with Xmas presents!

My 18 year old niece loves black nail polish and Oasis, so that could be her present sorted. I bought the Look magazine too because of the voucher. I wonder if you can input 2 voucher codes? The reason I ask is I've just logged onto the Oasis website and they are offering 20% off if you key in the code NOVTREATS.
Might be worth a ago. Off to same some pennies, me thinks.:D
Haven't managed to blitz any % at all this weekend due to the inlaws visit. Lovely to see them, but after 2 bottles of red wine with them again last night, my purse is lighter and I have the most horrific acid today. Even a cup of tea is igniting the burn in the back of my throat. Camomile tea tonight is in order AND THAT'S A PROMISE LOL :beer:

Hi all,
I've been 'watching' this thread for 11 days - since my LBM!!!
thank you LMUD for starting this ... it was the first thread I read when visiting the site and my debt is a little over £8k so ive found it really helpful.
My LBM was 31st October, it brought me here and I immediately paid off one of my debts, albeit the smallest, using savings from an account that I had just opened and been throwing the change from the end of the month in, no point in having savings when i have so much debt!!
Anyway, the reality is my 1% is £82 HOWEVER ... I want to join the challenge start small by paying off my Mothercare Card £493.05 - so my 1% will be a fiver please.
I've just paid £15 off the said card so make that 3% please:(:( LBM 31/10/12
Loan £20.00/£5593.79:eek: ** CC1 £2200 (need to sort payment plan) ** CC2 £229
Mothercare Card £485.06 ** Dotty P's £[STRIKE]66.85 [/STRIKE]:rotfl:** Mort Arrears £597.81/£2460.89
Jan GC £47.63/£60.00 ** 1% at a time (choosen aim £500) 9%0 -
Theshinyone - hellloooooo!!!! Well done on the LBM.
LMUD has given us all a tonne of great ideas, all gathered together under very relevant headings. Cant thank her enough1% at a time challenge member #127
