Hi everyone, what a lovely day but my kids want to be playing inside!!!

Welcome back ellesbelles

Well I was at a farmers market this morning selling my crafts and now have £40 waiting to be banked - not quite a % on its own but it will take me up to 48% when banked :j

Hi all,

I really have let slip a bit recently! There was a good kids clothes sale on in Morrisons plus i had vouchers off so i got the kids some bits for now, which they didnt really need *blush* and Evelyn got some bits to grow into and i got 4 birthday presents too in the sale for friends kids birthdays in the next 2 months.

The husband is out with work tonight and we couldnt get a sitter so im stuck at hope. Hoping to get kids in bed and get listing my big ottoman full of stuff on Ebay, oh and im selling my Tassimo so that should get me a %!! Really need to kick this debt in the derriere!

Im very tempted to start selling my crafts! I just need more time to do it. My eldest starts school in September so hoping ill have a bit more time then.

Thank you Determined Diva - I so want to reach 100% by the end of this year so I'm trying extra hard again at the moment.

Happytails - everyone needs a break now and then so don't beat yourself up - anyway you shopped in a sale and used vouchers - that sounds like money saving to me

I took my crafts to a village fete this afternoon - and I now have an extra £70 waiting to be banked. Not bad for the weekend - £110 waiting to be banked = 2% :j I think I might even add the extra £13 to make it 3% as I was really good at the fete and only spent £3 on the bouncy castle (that was for both kids). They wanted loads but I said no and I avoided the BBQ and cooked when I got home :):)

Hi everyone
I've not updated for a while, but I've made a few payments, with minimum payments, I made something for a friend and just put the money towards CC, then had option of early birthday and Christmas money from some family so took it and a SO that I'd set up. All in all I've managed to pay off another £432.12, which means I've now paid off 25% of my debt...! I'm so happy I can't believe I've paid all of that off since the end of May, it's brilliant.

Thanks to everyone who runs these threads, you are all officially awesome to keep us motivated!
