Hi everyone,
I didn't subscribe to the thread and I couldn't find it until now! I am not very technical sadly!
I sold some things on a facebook selling page this week, and made £104... So pleased!
Does anyone know how I update my total? Sorry If I seem a bit useless...Staring debt - June 2013 - £21,000
Current debt - February 2018 - £11,378.60
Emergency fund £500 / 100%
Debt free one day at a time0 -
Well at least the surveys are quick on onepoll and you know within a couple of questions whether you have qualified, I hate the sites which take about 10 questions before you' 're told you don't qualify! During that time you can earn a few pence at onepoll and even if it is only 7p a day it is better than nothing!
I''ll keep going for my next £40, I qualify a lot more now I'm a parent and I only aim to do one survey a day so I don't waste too much time anyhowGrocery Challenge 2019 YTD-£820.46/£7200(11%)

There's a link at the front of this thread where you can add in amounts you save. Don't do it till the end of the month or else you will be running SlowlyFading ragged!
If you want to change it in your signature line, go into User CP and look for Signature on the left, I think.
Good luck saving!
By the way, interview for my second job is this afternoon now...
Hope I get it, but, I know there's plenty of competition out there.
Best wishes all, and keep motivated...

Time is money, if your time is worth 7p then good luck.
I'm a stay at home mum so happy to earn a little bit here and there, I do it while watching tv and little one is asleep so a couple of mins a day is no problem for me!Grocery Challenge 2019 YTD-£820.46/£7200(11%)

Well I sorted out my change jar on Sunday and have £13 bagged up and ready to go in the bank, which I will then put into my savings. Had a nice bonus today, found £30 in the bag I took out on NYE, not that I remember getting cash out but obviously I did!Kitchen Debt - 2820/260Save £12k in 2013 #060: 1293.24/3000MFW: 88760.00/85000.00 (4.24% paid)0

Motivation on this thread is great !
I am off the mark thanks to some xmas present money and an electricity credit refund (asked them for half the in-credit back)
My challenge is to get ahead by the mid-year as I only have my lodger until June - which is great income - but when he leaves I fancy some time just me in the house again!
If by any miracle there is a company bonus this year that will be March. Income drops off after the HY especially if I want my usual autumn holiday.
Will be trying some e-bay to clear a shed load of clutter to help me this month ! Main boosts are at the end of each month when I get paid.
Good luck all !!Debt Free 25th August 2010 with PAD !!TARGETS ::D
