  • I have accumulated £500 which ive left in bank towards paying of our overdraft so its 500/3400

    if we could do this every month we would soon pay it of. I feel so much better not being at our limit just need to do the same next month.
    You can if you think you can .

    I wish we had room to overpay but until I get til the end of the month I never know how much we're going to have left ... which isn't good! Lol.

    DH is desperate for new glasses and is going to see if he can get an appointment for tomorrow. If he can it will mean that our paid off total will change as I will need to dip into the savings to pay for them:(

    He also needs another suit or some work pants as he is wearing the same suit every day which isn't good as he needs to make a good impression at work:(. If he just needs pants I will try and cover the cost of these out of my misc budget.

    He has managed to fix the dishwasher though and only needs an £11 part. I thought it was goosed:T
    Save £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%
    Pay off £7000 - £1743 - 19.4%
    Make £2021 extra income - £99.75

    Hello everyone

    Hope you are all well and keeping warm.

    Another 3 items paid for on ebay today so new total is....

    #11 - £1389.11/£10,224 = 13.59%

    Ebay and the post office are conspiring against me tonight. The RM website is down for maintenance, so I can't print my postage labels through paypal :(

    7 more items ending tomorrow and 2 items sold today are yet to be paid for, so hopefully I will be able to update again soon :)

    Free ebay listings again this weekend - if anyone wants to top up their totals/clear out their junk/keep themselves entertained whilst they're snowed in! :D

    Woohoo. This lead me to venture into my wardrobe today. I usually wear whatever is on top of the pile on the floordrobe.

    I found around 50 things to list. I have dome 20, and will do the rest tomorrow.

    The next time it is free listing I will venture into wardrobe 2 and them the 3, 5 draw chests :eek:

    bloody cars!!! such an expense ... but then i love my car ha!

    I love my car too but not on 27 May which is when the MOT, tax, Insurance and residents parking permit are all due.

    I have set up an account to pay money into each month for all car expenses (car is paid for so just annual expenses), but I doubt there will be enough in there this year to py it all, but next year there will be.

    £80k paid off is an amazing amount SpagBol. Thank you for running the thread :beer:

    I read everyday, usually on my phone. I only switch my laptop on to update my total on here. This thread is so insiring. I would never had paid every penny I have earned on ebay this month onto my credit card if it wasn't for this thread.

    You are all amazing. Thank you xx

    Roll on payday. I will update with my regular payments on Thursday night to ensure they get into January's total calculation. :money:

    edit, sorry, I appear to have taken over the thread lol. I do not know how to multi quote!
