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

allybee101

Just made the last payment to my high interest CC with Capital Uno so I can concentrate on my overdraft! :j
Project overdraft is now at 3.4%. Hoping to top that up with some Ebay-ing this week. Feels so good to be cracking this.

Have ordered some shoes to replace a pair that are on their way out (beyond Ebaying I think, alas) and found a money off voucher, plus cashback through TCB to save myself around £3. I think that just covers the postage (no free option), but better than a slap round the face with a wet fish I guess.

Learnt that I could claim back fees for an event I attended in May as I volunteered at it. I have to give half to the club I belong to as they sub the fee, but that's £30 coming to me and going straight in my percent pot!

Hi all, sorry i feel ive been a bit distant from the thread the past few weeks!! Hoping to have another percent or 2 to add to the CC next week when its payday. Also got 3.5 of the 6 birthday presents for August bought/made. Ordered fabric for 1 and need to get that and another made and the final half of the other bought but got plenty of time

Really need to get all the stuff i have in my ottoman for sale, i keep saying this but only a few get listed at a time ATM, would be nice to have the space.

Hi! I have finally decided (been forced by change in work and huuuge cut in wages) to get my act together and sort out my debt. I love the idea of 1% at a time and reading this thread is so motivational so:

Hey all,

Has been a hectic few weeks with changing jobs, working on weddings at weekends, writing and visiting friends. Hope you're all enjoying the summer.

I'm getting back to work on my targets now with lots of things to do! Got to make some progress if I'm to be DF by Nov. Perfect time to do car boot sales as it's has been great weather.

Hope you're all making progress in any small way that you can!

Hi All,

Sorry for the lack of posts. It's been a bit up and down what with my redundancy. But I am pleased to report I start a new job on the 12th August :j Quite a big pay cut and no benefits, but it's a job none the less and I can start working on my own business

Anyway, by belated total now is:

Member #198 £4,158.16/£15,505.08 (26.82%)

Hopefully with some of my redundancy money I'll pay that towards my student loan and I should be debt free (bar the money I owe my mum) before I'm 30! :j

Hope you're all having a great day
