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

TripsandSmiles

Hi,

Please may I join this challenge? I've been battling my debt MSE style for about a month now so I feel organised enough to take on (and win!) this challenge.

My 1% (on my CC) is £21.27. I have budgeted to pay just over 2.5% each month and am hoping to pay off more through saving on main budget, Ebaz and a little online earning.

I will add this to my signature now.

Thank you

Well another £12 to the pot for stuff sold so that's another 8% which has taken me up to 62% :j:j

Hi all,

Made £6 on Ebay this week, not as impressive as my £70 the other week but it was only relists. - this money is still in paypal for other ebay buys/xmas buys etc

A bit annoyed the dog still has fleas after spending £12 on treatment. Means im going to have to shell out more money He's never had fleas (nor my other dogs in previous years) so a totally new and not nice experience, we've not been bitten yet thankfully.

Mum and my brother have given me loads of stuff to list and i get to keep all the profit from my brothers and 50/50 with my mum so need to get them washed/ironed and photographed as theyve been squashed in bin bags for ages. Just need to find the time! Got to post my 6 items today!

Selling my sit in baby walker for DD2 for £8 in 2 weeks, its family so i know ill get it. She rarely goes in it and its so big!

Tomorrow is when our overdraft gets taken off us and so far we havent been paid our overtime. We get paid the next day so its not too big a deal but we have £800 and only need £400 to get it paid off so dont really want to get charged for a day in an unauthorised overdraft. But to have £800 in just 24 days to me is impressive :T pat on the back to me & the husband there!

Not much else to report except its SEPTEMBER on Sunday, how did that happen?!

Been gathering stuff for a big ebay listing session when kids are back at school next week but I'm now going to be working full time for first two weeks of Sept so might not get to it until the middle of sept.... Quite pleased to be working 2 week f/t though as that shoulkd help fill the deficit caused by no work in Aug! Disappointingly though I lost my new client (I'm a childminder) for Sept which means I'll be down a lot of money this year unless I can replace him.....
