  • Hi Pantherchick, that is great going clearing 5k in a year I hope i am successful in clearing as much as that :-). I am starting to realize how much I just spend just because its there. In the past i have been a big impulse buyer because it always seems a good idea at the time. I think changing my lifestyle will be harder then paying back the money but now i have a great target of proposing I think its finally given me the motivation to get it done.

    Early next week i will be posting how much is paid off this month.

    Delayed update, I have managed to pay off £328.49 so far this month, I am selling off around 200-250 dvds this month as well to help boost a bit more. with all the biking to work i have used half a tank of petrol in the last 4 weeks i am hoping the other half to last at least that.

    I am just starting to realize how hard this is going to be to pay off.
