Really pleased to report another 1.5% - taking my total up to 8%
Have also managed to pay off almost a grand's worth of debt this month which is just amazing - thank you ebay for a big chunk of that!!! I didn't quite manage my NSD challenge for November but not the end of the world. Now to December!

Number 23 here. I've managed to pay off quite a bit just from general pay days. So I'd like to start again to really get rid of the last bit. So my new 1% is £10 and I am setting myself a target of a month to pay off as much of this as possible! I've had a top cashback payout so am starting off with 4%. Yay.0

Just wanting to check in with
.
Just completed my additional hours form for Nov, added to the fact that Dec has 5 weeks pay in it means that i am moving up my completion date to the end of DEC!!!!!
My babysitting client has managed to get her hours changed at work so no longer needs me on a regular basis so could do with getting another (or two).
I am soooo excited for xmas now. My sis has given me full reign to plan her 21st party on the 21st (mum and dad have handed me the budget for the food/drink/decor) then we are having 11 for xmas dinner and then for the first time in 5 years my gran, her 3 kids and their families will all be together for new year in scotland. Happy times.
Happy December everyone, may it be fruitful and stressless for all xx1% at a time challenge member #127

Nothing earned for me today. 3 of my 11 ebay auctions sold yesterday, only 1 has paid so far. Relisted 5 on 99p but holding out on free listings for the rest.
Gonna have to tighten my belt on spending this month. Think i need to set some budgets and withdraw the cash per week. Anything left will get put towards the CC.
Im going to aim for Petrol, presents and luxuries (costa, clothes for kids etc) for now
