The 1% Challenge - 100 ways to make your 1%

Hi everyone,

Well still not got to the bank to pay the money from craft fair / face painting in yet but did have a lovely weekend away seeing Robbie Williams in London. We spent far too much but hey everyone needs a treat - don't they?

I have just transferred £15 into savings though as used some of the cash from earnings to take to London for emergency (it saved us getting charged £1.50 from cash machine) so sort of money saved whilst there

Sadly not enough to declare another % yet but am hoping to get to bank tomorrow PM with £105 so that will be 2% to declare

I just had a look at my credit card statement and worked out the final payment on it. This means I can start flinging even more cash at my overdraft clearing!
I'm still only at about 2.3% but that should start racking up soon.

hi all :hello: please can i join? my debt is currently at £4920 so 1% is £49.20.

i am going to count my min payment in this if thats ok as all my debt is on a 0% card so 100% of payment reduces balance.

im going to try and aim for around 9-10% per month. i use rent from my lodger and money from mystery shopping but thats been a bit slack lately

so hopefully this will spur me on! off to print off my squares

Thanks

Hi all, seems a bit quiet on here of late, maybe everyones on holiday. I've not made any more %s but have come up with an idea for selling something 'crafty' thanks to craftingmad for inspiring me with her big %s! May or may not sell, but made 2 items (dont want to say what just yet) and going to attack on two fronts, eBay and also having a go at setting up a website to sell from, opted for moonfruit anyone ever used it? Will let you know when shop is open/ I sell something, or I may just be stuck with my products, but worst case I can always give away as presents, so no big loss. Wish me luck.:D

Hi Rushy - thanks for the mention - if you need any advice or just want an opinion on the product please feel free to PM me. I don't know everything (far from it ) but I think I must be doing something right.

YAY I AM BACK!!!!! We have been in our lovely new house a month and only just got internet today!!!!!

Been a bit of a tight month what with the move and we haven't managed to rent out my fiance's flat yet so paying 2 mortgages But have been doing LOADS of extra work - done supply on all days off this month, plus my weekend work. Got some work lined up for first 2 weeks of hols too.

Managed to pay off 400 of 8000 family loan for house so 5% paid yay! Hoping to pay another 400 this month then will feel like chipping away at that.

Been catching up on thread - well done y'all!
