That's right, slow steps and steady pace all get you to the point where you real use progress is being made.

As for me I've been refunded £75 in compensation which is going towards the loan overpayment when it arrives. Slow and steady pace here but it's going well reducing the interest charges.

Got 14 things listed on Ebay so far, one with £5.26 bid so hopefully ill get a few more bids on them before they end. Hoping to list more at 99p today before ebay change things tomorrow.

Got a DFD of 18 months time, should have been March next year but realistically it likely wont be until later in the year so anything before Xmas 2015 will be a bonus. Our Loan doesnt end until Dec 2016 but hoping to pay this off a year early (which means saving up £3693.60 next year to do so)

Argh, best get back to my listings

They usually offer 100 free listings at 99p or less a month with occasional free listing weekends (to list above 99p) and now they are offering 20 free listings a month but with no maximum list price so you can list for whatever you like. Its best to bundle things i think to maximise chances. I'm guessing less people will use Ebay and those that do will be listing at 'the' price they want for their item, meaning less bargains for the buyers so they're likely to not buy. Not sure if my late night rambling made any sense LOL

I just checked through my paperwork/documents and found i am due £30 cashback from my home insurance policy, it doesnt say when on the letter so going to have a mooch online and maybe call them in the morning. That can go straight to the car payment.

Looking forward to June and being thriftier than we have been as aiming to make/save 25% of of the current debt we are tackling! 25% is £534 approx! So we will have to meal plan, be creative with days out and find more things to sell!

managed another 1% to cc this week trying to pay at least 1% of this off every week if I can.

£25 overpaid onto the loan. Tight funds this month so that's all I can afford unless some more sales on eBay materialise.
