I am hoping that with my £8 I carried over, the £50 from phone and counting copper/small change in my tin (which is nearly full), I will have enough for the 3rd % I have to pay it as and when I get the money, not when I get the full £96, otherwise I would end up spending it (prob on wine), so when I get £50 for my phone, I will have to transfer it right away, not when I have got the next£46 for my 1%, plus that few quid can make the balance/interest/minimum payment lower. Hope this is OK. The 1% allows me to see how much progress I have made and is more motivating. I was a lurker on the thread since the original one started and it is a good way of breaking down goals.

Here to report .5% on debt 1 the nasty CC. Broke into my pennies tin and had £15 earnings from FB sales today so it went on the CC. Awaiting approx £12-18 more from FB sales (always taken off pp fees and postage as non are local.

i need £33 now to round up and pay the CC (to make 1%) then any after that will be spent throughout the month on living and ill keep a tally to pay over on pay day.

Expensive day today as had to buy the tiles for our kitchen wall, £58 gone! And a further £140 to the tiler on Tuesday! Ouch! but we got our kitchen fitted LAST january so its long overdue. Was £4.95 for my coffee pods as ran out and new ones will be arriving Weds. Petrol was £68 in my car not filled up the husbands yet. That will be another £50 (luckily his lasts the month)

Anything that hasnt sold on FB by monday will be going on Ebay on last free listings day as i really need the space!!
