Hi Rushy, I forgot that I looked at your bird boxes the other day and I thought they were cool. Have no idea price as it's not something I would buy. Think it seemed ok but not sure how you can get people to see them and then buy them...... Good luck!

Can you break it down into individual debts and work on them one at at time? Would you find that easier?

Iammumtoone I have taken your advice and the first debt am going to tackle is my Dunfermline account.... it's the smallest one which should make this a lot easier. It will also motivate me seeing this one go. I only owe £150 which makes my 1% £1.50 which is not much but im going to start with it and then tackle my Debenhams which at the moment stands at £730 so my 1% for that will be £7.30 it's certainly a lot more manageable than the £203.42 originally posted

I managed to sell a pair of shoes on my local facebook selling page which got me £30 so I have collected up some loose change I had lying around and have got this up to £36 so I have managed to pay 24% to this account today :j
Im so glad I have found this thread
Thank you

Well I am going to take the plunge and take advantage of my lil sis being home and get her to help me set up an ebay account.

Have a load of stuff I want rid of before I move house!!

Also going to update my budget spreadsheet so I have a firm control over what my expected income vs expenditure is as I think the first couple of months after I move is going to be the mostly likely time ill lose control of everything.

Well managed to sell another item on the facebook page so another £5.00 to the pot that's me added another 3% so 27% in total :j

Yes I think it will be easier this way. I have also made a note of the minimum payment on debt 1 before I started paying off. I will keep paying this amount (as I am already used to doing so). I am not sure if the minimum amount will change much as I eat into the dept but what will happen is when it is paid off I will have that money 'spare' to go straight into paying off debt 2. As I see it this makes the first one the hardest as the money has to come from no where whereas dept 2 will move along quicker as I will have the previous minimum from debt 1 one going into it and so on.

Well my minimum payment on my first debt is £10 a month so will continue to pay this. I put some of my soap and glory stuff on my local facebook selling page today and once everyone has collected and paid I will have made £80 which is great.

I have already received £40 so will get that paid into the account 2moro which means I have another 27% to add to my total so will have paid 54% which is great and also means that this debt has now been halved :j:j:j
