Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2013

  • There are various sites like retai1eyes, retai1active, grassr00ts. I've worked for all of them when I was a student. It was great at first, but the longer I did it, the fewer jobs I could qualify for. They usually pay something like £5 for your time and maybe £10 reimbursement depending where you shop. Sometimes I really struggled to find anything in store costing less than the reimbursement though, which leaves you out of pocket, and it can take hours to fill in the reports. I probably earned £250 over a year, but it was a lot of work!

    Finally got all the money through for my eBay items, so need to cash it all in and distribute! I'm so desperate to make extra cash just now, I'm about ready to sell things I still need!

    Thank you. I may have a look in to this.;)

    Right I did it, whacked £900 onto the CC. Can't update until the next round of payday in over 2 weeks time, but hey ho! Should have just halved the interest for this month though :D

  • Quick update from me, the payment to littlewoods went out a few days ago and I forgot to update my spreadsheet. Also the car needed new brake pads so that will be added to cc a bit later. But I'm slowly getting back to where we were! Oooh and I've decided I'm not going to give up work but just work 1 day a week, just so I can keep my options open further down the line!

  • Another debt cleared :j:j phoned to check my balance. Thought I had£270 left to pay but was told it was only £21.83!! Asked them to tell me how much I had cleared at it was the right amount I must have forgotten to log it somewhere long the line.

    A happy dance going on here in Kerfuffle Kabin.

    Axo Sunlife has paid out on the plan I've had for the last 15 years, I would have been happy if it had just broken even as I'd heard such bad reports about it, however it did better than I'd hope so..........drumroll.................

    That's amazing! Well done :) Gives me a bit of hope for the silly bonds thing I signed up to 2.5yrs ago... only paying in £25 per month though so I'll be lucky to get just over 3k back in 7.5yrs :cool:
