Won £10 on a scartchcard! (not a regular habit, I had a spare pound - so a £9 win really.). Will stick £9 in the pot - that's 0.33% of a 1% of my target!

I'm on the Keto diet, once I reach my goal weight ill be doing paleo/primal for a bit. Did this in December and I prefer it for longer periods as Keto isn't as lenient.

Sold a bouncer and a play mat for £6 (pending payment) but this is going on toys for mums house as mum bought them.

Since I've been on my diet the need for daily coffee isn't the same so contemplating selling my coffee machine! Slowly selling the packs of discs I have, but going to research how much they are going for.

Does anyone know who offers good prices for cd's to sell?

I've got loads I'm not bothered about and would like them to go to new homes and I can put the funds towards my CC repayments

I will have to look it up Sarah.

I have another 1% to add - made up from: money from my dad, returning one of my sons B'day gifts (he got 3 of the same thing!), using a gift card for groceries & topping up the final part myself. This brings me to 22% total. I have another 1% in the pipeline too....

Keep it up everyone we'll get there :beer:

I haven't been around much as working flat out and been sick for a couple of weeks.
Payday always focusses me though on adding up the numbers - well Ive had a pretty non achieving month but have chipped a bit of debt off... have now paid of 10% or in good old fashioned money £2380 gone
Although I dont post much the challenge keeps me going so thanks guys x
