    Can I please join you lovely people. I have around 3k worth of debt and would like to save around 2k so if I tackle the debt first my 1% is £30.
    I have some ideas on how I will do this but mostly it will be working extra and getting some stuff on eBay etc. Good luck everyone x

    Hi everyone, just a quick post to say hello and Happy New Year to everyone (and an especially big hello to all our new 2013 %'s) :cool:

    Little-Miss - wow those figures are amazing - a massive thank you to you once again :j How's the job hunting going - I think you could hire yourself out as a motivator or life counselor - to me (and I dare say so many other people) you are the best ;)

    Not much to report from me at the moment but I do have £50 still waiting to transfer into savings account and I need to take a look and see how much money was left at the end of the month (if any what with Christmas). So hopefully a few more %'s to add very soon.

    Managed to scrape another £65 together so now at 59% hope to add another 3-5% by the end of the month but times are hard. On the up side I am expecting a larger than average pay check end of this month.

    Hi everyone,
    I had a little set back last month, ended up having to find £250 at the last minute so took this from the percents I had been building up. Have just about maanged to replenish this back up to what it was before, what with ebay and adding a bit of overtime. So I'm exactly the same as I was 6 weeks ago now, which is annoying. but hey ho, a new year and a new challenge. Will relist everything that didnt sell on ebay tomorrow, also have some overtime to come the end of this month so can hopefully add that too!!! Ohhhh I got some xmas money too, just need to see whats left from that when I've bought a new winter coat.

    Hope everyones feeling renewed and ready to go with the new year!

  • Hi everyone

    I have worked out my 1% is £60.00.

    I've started to do swagbucks and am planning on doing some ebaying this week. I won't be making any payments until I get my wages in 3 weeks time, Its going to be a very long 3 weeks!!

    It is quite likely that I will be made redundant around April time, I know it is very ambitious but I would like to be debt free by then so I don't have to use the very small redundancy payment I will get to clear my overdraft.
  • also Greensaints is there a weight loss thread on this site? :)

    Hey :)

    No idea, I just wrote it on my signature while I was adding this! If not, there should be! :D
