  • Ebay total for the month: £68.40. Not as much as last month so a tiny bit disappointed. However I just sold bits and pieces I had lying around so its almost like free money (apart from all the effort involved).

    That plus £34 overtime means I am now on 6% paid. Doesn't sound like much but is over £200 of extra money.

    Hello is there room for one more? I owe just over £1100 on my catalogue and getting this paid off would be a real boost. I have made a payment today of £11.45 so that's 1% paid :)

  • Hi all! I'm excited to join the thread and get my debt paid down.

    I borrowed $4700 CAD from my parents to move to the UK in August. I've paid back $2500, so I'm at 53%.

    Up to 34% over paid and repaid on the long term loan in 28 months. Getting there but still a long way to go. Next goal is to get the next £3169 paid off by the end of the year somehow to get under the next milestone figure and will be at 50% paid off by then. Still need to work out how I'm going to do that yet I aim to get there all the same.

    Better find some more stuff to eBay then and get on with that!

    Hi all, fell off the wagon a while back - please help me back on.

    Debts currently at

    £2850 - Mum - getting paid at £250 a month for 10 months and final payment of £350 next May.

    £19,698.20 - Loan - Paid off at £364.78 a month for another 4.5 years :eek:

    £6000 approx for Business - due Feb 2016.

    Im going to focus on raising % for the loan. Obviously 1% of the loan amount is £196.98 so im going to break it down. I want to atleast shave off a years worth of payments - £4377.36 - so 1% would be £43.77 :)

    Will have a think of what i can do immediately. Im going to check internet and gas/elec packages etc later.
