More ebay sales today, paid my Ebay fees
And my new percent total (should everyone pay) is 28.33% plus my end of month £100 (our usual repayment per month) will bring us to 39.44% :eek: I am really impressed with this, i need to earn another 10.56% in 10 days to reach my 50% mark, thats £95.04 so £9.50 a day. Not sure ill manage it but im sure as hell gonna try.
Relisted everything that didnt sell, got 1 more item ending today, 99p bid so far. Everything else finished on Weds and no bids so far. Going to put more bits of FB and photograph 2 pairs of shoes i never wear (uncomfortable).
NSD today and tomorrow

Hey all!
Still struggling to find extra percents. Got lots of things lined up but they're yet to come to fruition. Well done all on your efforts they will result in lots of rewards I'm sure.
Thanks for posting on the DFW thread FallenArcher, it would be nice if we could move back. Perhaps we'd have to rename the thread as the 1% challenge so it doesn't sound like a diary.
I will be updating the list as soon as I can. Trying to make it as a freelancer has taken its toll on my work day - I'm putting in as many hours as I can to have something to put to my percents.
Hope everyone is managing ok through Jan!0 -
Update from me is sadly no more percents due to no sales on ebay for the last 2 free listings. Hopefully it will pick up again once the Jan payday has arrived for people to spend a little on there!
Not much else to report apart from hoping to get 0% deal on a BT offer for 9mths and that I qualify for it which will ease off and gain some more precents paid off.final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -

Morning all,

Hi Everyone
Little Miss - Have you thought of doing an e-book for the 1% method of paying your debts off? I know you're working lots of hours at the moment but you could take quite a lot of the content from the thread already. Even if you we're to sell it for only 99p and just leave it out there, it may earn you a few pennies with very little effort once completed?How is looking for a permanent role going?
It sounds like people are having mixed success with eBay at the moment. Me and the other half have challenged one another to raise an extra £100 each before the end of the month. I've so far made £35 and the other half is on 0, feeling kinda smug as I always lose the budget challenge but I may win this one. Going to attempt a meal plan shortly but find the idea very stressful, but I know how much better off we will be if we can put this place and stick with it. We pick up the new car tomorrow, feeling kinda excited now after all the stress I've had the last few weeks. Anyway must get onto this meal plan daunting.com!!!2012 '1% at a time' member 99 - 17% 1% = £167
