A £50 payment from me, so another 1% square coloured in. It leaves me with a nice round figure of £500 on the cc which fingers crossed will be cleared next month.

2nd jobs are great for money but very hard work, physically and emotionally! I gave mine up at Chrustmas and miss the pay but not the exhaustion!32b3in2013 wrote: »Woop woop

I love this colouring in concept, I might try it as a grid on a spreadsheet.

As a dressmaker I'd want to buy in one length, so buying 4 fat quarters wouldn't appeal unless I knew it would come in one length 66 wide. Otherwise, looking good.I need to add that in, as it would be continuous lengths.
All input is greatly appreciatedFinancialSurrender wrote: »Oooh - and that should move me into the 13 thousands! Hideous to some, but sounds great to me :-)as it's heading in the right direction.
Free cinema turned into, M&S sweets + dinner in restaurant. We never have date nights at the moment and I think it did us both good. Although the walk back has almost killed me with my chest infection.
OH has just said we can use his student loan to pay off the cc and put us in the black to start saving to pay off his debt :T:T:T roll on April thenDiary: Getting back on track for 2013 and beyondDEBT FREE 13-10-13 :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

Evening
the final sold item from last weekend has been paid for so I have paid the total after fees off of my credit card.
#11 - £3544.74/£10,224 = 34.67%
I was just looking at the on-line acoount for said card and the balance has gone down from nearly £3k to just over £1k since I started this challenge. I can't wait to see it at zero
Have a good week everyone

Grumble - 2 weeks, and I still haven't managed to gain access to my online banking account. It's really starting to annoy me, as I can't technically make any payments until I get into my account! Not very happy...
Sold another 2 items on eb*y, very pleased! But I just noticed that royal mail postage prices are about to go up to £2.60 for a second class packet :eek: Surely that's going to put a lot of people off the 99p items - this could be the end of my eb*y dream!0 -
Mini...I have been flogging with £2.99 postage, it normally costs me £2.20 anyway. With fees on top and even on the micropayments it just about breaks even
So don't despair just yet.
