Credit Card Challenge Anyone?

hummingbird

Got a very pleasant surprise tonight - rang Egg to activate the new card they sent me. I hadn't used it for ages and I thought the balance was zero, but they informed me I'm £33 in credit!!!! So they're sending it back & I'll add it to my £40 total:j So I'm looking forward to reaching my first hundred!:beer:

Well, I found one of the little sample tubes of the Boots serum stuff from horizon, popped it on Ebay yesterday afternoon with £1 starting bid and it's already at £5.50 :j

I can't quite believe that people are paying so much for the stuff to be honest - if you've gone 20, 30, 40 years without using it, what's a few weeks until it's back in stock going to do?

Oh, and argued like mad with BT yesterday & they're crediting me with £3.05 - not a huge amount I know, but they annoyed me with their p1ss-poor excuse for customer service & on principle I wanted it back!

Righto, the Signed Trinny and Susannah book went. For 50p. :rolleyes:

But the PG Tips Monkey went for 4.20! :T

I don't think I'll ever understand eBay!

Selling lots of things on ebay. found full to the top purfumes in drawer that have neva been used (burberry) and a henleys top which i bought for 70 quid that ive not even worn ah well see how it all goes im not sure how much im up to yet but we'll see. anyone got a total yet of how much they have saved?

OOOooooh, I didn't even add it to my signature....:o

Have added it now, and I thought I'd be particularly harsh on myself, and only list what I've actually paid off. So I may have made some money on eBay, but it don't count until the figure goes down

I am joining too i need to clear my card by the end of may. i think i owe about 900 all in........really excited as this is the last of my debt, have cleared huge amounts in the last two years and can't wait to be totaly clear!

Now what to ebay?...must have a look.
will be throwing nearly every spare pennies at the card but finding some extra things to help it down will make it happen sooner.

erm lets see, nowhere near £1000 i know that! and i'm running out of ideas :mad:

ebay profit = £70
+ £22.50 i was owed
+ £11 'spending' money not spent = £103.50

not bad, but not enough :cool:

well im still not counting the 'the jar' my poor fella doesnt know whats hit him he keeps saying, 'wheres the change gone from my pockets?' ha. Ive told my family not to buy me an easter egg but give me the money instead. I made my mum a funny birthday card yesterday instead of buying one! I am also going to change my virgin points from my credit card to a boots voucher so that can buy my goodies for the month. My 70 pound henleys top is going for £1 at the moment..... hmmm not quite sure thats a good deal, hope ur all going ok please let me know any ideas I realy wanna get rid of this card!!!
