Hia, i know i am very late, but i would really like to join. I have only just seen this thread (i dont normally thread hop, tend to stick in the old style or the few that i have subscribed too).
I have roughly £5000 that i want paid off within 18 months. £2500 to my dad for a car and roughly £2500 on a credit card that the insurance company should have paid off.
I suffer with depression - that i self manage and after an overhaul of my diet, it is doing good, just need to find some extra hours in the day to add exercise in and it would be great.
£170/£3333 is the target for the year. (£5000 for 18 months time) should be doableLiving Simply, not simply living.Weight Loss - 5b/55lb

Creepy message attached to my fleabay order!!! "No cleaning needed before shipping - just send the shoes as they are." They're for a pair of black & white pumps that have mud on them......ewww!!!
This takes me back to the knickers(?) episode last year :rotfl:
Car has gone to welders today to have the rusty sills on both sides, that were the main cause of MOT failure last week, chopped out and replacedwelder man seems very nice though and someone else at work knows him and says he's a good egg. Looking at a welding bill of around £200 which will at least be mostly paid for by council tax and car insurance free month as they're both paid over 10 months and this is month 11
:wave: to all new DF'ers over the last week or so. Good luck.0 -
Eddi, it was bras last year....this year apparently shoes
I have just realised, if I list 100 things on the 99p listings....then I can relist them on the £1+ free listing weekends. All I'd have to do is go into them on the whatsit, change the price and it's like a whole new listing. This opens the door for more fleabaying than I thought possible wooohooo I shall clear this carpDiary: Getting back on track for 2013 and beyondDEBT FREE 13-10-13 :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

Reporting in for Februarys progress.
£1,636.01 / £14,300.37 11.5%
I'm really really chuffed to bits. I only started up this challenge mid-January. I never thought paying bills could be so exciting :rotfl:.
I've found it easier to focus by concentrating on one debt which is being cleared by lots of overtime. I hope to be at the 20% mark by the end of March.0 -
That's another 31 things listed on fleabay and my statement STILL hasn't materialized!!! I'm now at my quota for the month....so roll on Friday when I can list more please.Diary: Getting back on track for 2013 and beyondDEBT FREE 13-10-13 :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

We're looking at £30k if we want a 25% deposit, eek! That's a little bit too much considering I only want to stay here a maximum of 2 years more!
