was handed £15 by SIL today, our share of last years family syndicate lottery wins won't spend it all at once!!!! I shall add it to my little piggy bank sitting on the desk in front of me, not to be opened until the end of Jan and hopefully I shall have a couple of % in there.
CAn I please have a number?

Evening all! I was wondering where the thread had got to!

It must be because we're 100+ pages long! Weird though as it's a challenge not a diary and there are some that are very long on the main thread!

Super difficult at the mo for me getting percents & job hunting. Got a short contract lined up for the next coupla months which should keep me treading water. Will be scraping the barrel for those extra percents though! I could do with something high rate for at least 6 months to complete my challenge by summer this year.

Great to see lots of new folks joining early on in Jan! Numbers will be up soon. Got to change around the front page as we're getting short on space but I shall fit you all in

I know January is a tight month but no need to wait until payday - revisit the list and see what you can do today that will bring you just that little bit closer!

Well I had a change of heart and decided that if I didn't transfer the 3 "no wine" nights money to Next, it would get frittered on something else, so I've bitten the bullet and just transferred it. Feel better now.

I also worked an overtime shift last night (5 hours) so that's another 7% which I've just tranferred to, which has taken off a further 10% in total.

Chuffed to read that I am now sub-£1k at 77%.

Down, down, deeper and Down!

Hello all!! No %s to report I'm afraid, have been feeling down this week (unlike the rest of the world I hate new year, it just reminds of everything I've yet again failed to achieve). But I picked myself up and have been learning how to turn my ebook into an actual readable ebook! This is a big deal for me as I am a technolgical disaster! Mini target for january is to turn my book from an open office document into a ebook readable condition. Not sure that makes gramatical sense but I'm sure you catch my drift!

Now I have finally located the thread I should post something!

Well I have made £85 on ebay this week which is fab. £51 of that was from selling my old phone which I tried to sell before Christmas but nobody bidded. Seems ebay has picked up a lot over the last week. Have sold more than I have in ages. Just hoping they do another free listing weekend soon as I'm reluctant to pay to list things that have been hanging around for a while.

Not sure how much of my ebay money will go towards my % for the one debt I have signed up to this thread to clear as got some other little things to pay back too this month. Hopefully I will pay off 2% though which is £36.

Annoyed with Swagbucks at the moment - there are just no surveys to do!

Evening, well got 6 bids on eBay out of 15 ATM and a lady on fb buying some maternity bits off me (awaiting payment of between £12-22 depending on if she takes the last 2 items) and £11.20 off another fb sale that should be paid tomorrow that will bump me up quite a bit. Still awaiting a payment from an eBay sale ,astweek but she msg'd me to say she was having probes so will hang on a while. I've got £52 coming on Friday too :j which is a whopping 7%, planning on giving it straight to mum (debt 3) ill be down to £848 then!

Got £24.20 in paypal and awaiting £7.10, £11.20 and £12 (lowest estimate). Total of £54.50, still got to pay my eBay fees of £10.22 so £44.28, just under 6% if everyone pays up wow 13% by the end of the week if I'm lucky, maybe more if I get a good few sales on eBay (haven't included those yet)

Still got loads of stuff to get rid of. Also determined to use my reusable wipes more instead of huggies baby wipes - no more being lazy. Same with my eco balls for washing but I need to strip them as they made my clothes smell yesterday, presumably because they've been stored. Should reduce my shopping bill. Also bought 27 rolls of good quality loo roll for £9 today, should last a few months popped my heating on a timer insect of constant. It's never higher than 20c but changed it so it switches off between midnight and 3am and 9-midday and see how we get on, so effectively saving us 6 hours of heating a day, see if it helps the bill. Hoping all these wee things will mean we have more money at month end to plough at a debt

Got 2 pairs of the husbands shoes to clean up tomorrow and sell, some walking boots and a lovely brown pair of italia leather shoes that he doesn't find too comfy. I'm also going to part with a pair of suede boots I hardly wear for the same reason, fingers crossed they sell!

Righto, night all, got evelyns 8 week check tomorrow at 10, she will be 9 weeks Thursday, how crazy!

Happy New Year to everyone hope everyone had a good Christmas.

Well done everyone on last year's figures thats a whooping amount paid off.

Well I've overpaid the CC by £5.00 which is another 1% so bringing my total paid off to 8%. Need to transfer some of the no smoking funds over to the credit card soon then will report some more %s.
