    Hi everybody,

    Just popping on to update the stats:

    #24 13133.33 / 14300.00 = 92%

    Well done everybody for keeping at the challenge, there are some really exciting percentages now. I'm hoping to have this debt gone in June, 6 months later than the last challenge but 6 months earlier than the current one. It's going to be tight, but with a bit more dedication it might just be do-able.

    Come on people, keep at it, we're all doing so well. :T

    The regular payment went out today on the loan I am working on clearing so I have updated the amount, I am going to be paying extra on it next week though!

    I am going to put every spare bit of money on this one to really try and get rid of it by Xmas!

    I think I must think my things are more desirable than they are... listed a few items on a FB selling page, and no takers :( I've only listed 3 or 4 things so far, but if there are so few takers, then I guess I can list more and not worry about the foot traffic at the house!

    Happy Friday everyone!

    I have no idea where he finds all these weirdos to.

    I have some soap stuff that's been dormant for about 2 years in a box. Do you want me to dig it out and let you know if I have any butters in there? I seem to remember there was some shea or something like that.

    That would be really nice of you, but I wouldn't want to put you out for it. I've ordered a couple of things from eb@y now - almond oil, mango butter and coconut oil, which should be plenty for me to start with!

    Oh my word - I've woken up with the most horrible spasming neck! Everything I do is making my neck spasm and bringing tears to my eyes!

    Plan was to load things on EB@y and fb for selling, but I can't bend or lift to set the all out, and apparently will be like this for a couple of days. I think I'm going to get cabin fever this weekend!
