    Hi Aamberle,

    I have listed a fridge freezer on ebay, it's silver so quite popular, quite a few watching already so fingers crossed, also had a couple of people ask for buy it now, but always prefer to let the auction run.

    And in case anyone thinks I am selling of everything in the house :D I already have another fridge and chest freezer, where we used to live the shops where a bit further away, now they are in walking distance we don't need to stock up as much, will help with the electic bill too.

    Pay day today, so a bit more cleared, my new target is to clear Credit card one by Dec payday (14th Dec) and it looks possible :D

    My fridge/freezer is doing really well on Ebay so some more to come there, so my target for Oct is to get to under £1000 on Credit card one lets see how I do :j

    Thanks Aamberle :D

    Well the F/F went for £122.00 so after ebay fees managed another £110.00 towards paying of CC1 :j really pleased with that.

    My OH got me some extra work at the weekend so have a litle it more money coming in there too, so that will help. So all on course at the moment .

    Thanks Headabovewater :D don't worry about the NSD's lots of October yet, I didn't manage an NSD today oops never mind shall try for one tommorrow.

    managed a few more payments on CC1 so just £29.00 to go to get to the £1,000 mark, so I now have another target if i pay of £63.83 this month on CC1 then it would be fully paid of with my December pay, so I would start 2013 with 1 less card. So that's what I am aiming for now. :D

    Morning Fae - Hope you are well? How you getting on with the £29.00 to hit your £1000 mark? You are doing so well, and great idea about the focus on clearing CC1.
    I have every faith you will do it - you have achieved everything so far..

    Hope your Sunday is good XX

    Well had this month's statement for CC1 yesterday, and the interest was less than I thought it would be, so a little more paid of without doing anything at all :D. Will be listing a couple of things on ebay later so that should help a bit too so fingers crossed will be under the £1000 mark very soon.:j Just another £16 to go.

    Have heard that I didn't get the job I was interviewed for, but never mind least I have a job at the moment, that's the main thing.

  • Hi Fae, have followed you over from my diary- youre doing really well, I need to do that snowball calculator thingy to make sure I attack the highest rate CC first.

    Sorry to hear about the job, hopefully the perfect one will be along soon.
