    DrCarrie,you're welcome any time :)
    I now have reached 41% of my target (Which is £1,500).


    By the way
    Can you please change my target from
    £39
    To £1,500

    Thank you!
    Didn't realize that my old target was still up.

    80% now paid off, £6000 to go :T
    Debt at LBM Aug 2012 £30,000 :eek: 1% at a time - Member # 178 = 100%
    Debt free date November 2015 :j :beer:
  • I haven't been on in a while but having recently lost my job (or pretty much anyway- cut to 8 hours a week) I have a new sense of purpose, I am amusing my £75 I put as my 1% was based on paying half my debt so I will just stick to that unfortunately not much progress has been made this year.
    I am going to focus on earning my 1%'s by writing reviews on ciao and using geolotto which is a free game you can play once a day and win some extra pennies. And I am going to do boot-sales as much as I can.

    I did a bootsale on the weekend and made £137 so I have 1% more to add to my total and will use the remainder towards my next one.

    So I am not on 5%
    Total Debt [STRIKE]£25,460 [/STRIKE](23/02/2016) :eek: £13,416.94.(paid 48%)
    Earn £10 a day 2015 - £878.91 2016 - £3932.18
    2017 - £1686.24 - 2018 - £272.37
    March 2019 - £120.99
    April 2019 - £0/£300

  • Thanks Sa1sysoo :) My first one off my snowball list gone !!! Still a long list to go hahaha
  • I am calculating ebay sales on a monthly basis when I get the statement from them of how much my fees are. So my grand total of sales for the last month is £87.52! Well happy with that! And it was just from selling bits and pieces that were knocking around. If I could do that every month that would really help with the debt!!

    Total debt paid now: 3%

    Very pleased. But can't quite be bothered to list anything else.....
