iammumtoone

Just paid off another 1% been saving luncheon vouchers from surveys and used them today on tesc0s shop so paid that money off total.

Also paid 3% from ebays sales. Slowly but surely I will get there

Hi Everyone,

First time poster in this thread, just discovered it and I think it's amazing! Can I join in?

Thinking of my debt as 100 little steps till it's paid has really inspired me. I've done my sums and here are my figures;

1% = £78, Paid so far: 29%

So I have 71% to go!:D

Already I'm thinking of ways to reach the next 1%.

I like this thread A LOT! The 1% chunks is very motivational.
Since I joined this thread on 18th Aug (three and a half weeks ago), I have paid a whopping £1,531 off bills. I still have a long way to go but for me that equals...3.75%!
I'll update again next month!

Hi everyone!

Nothing to report today except i have a no show ebayer that was supposed to collect something Monday and is now ignoring me :mad:

Tomorrow i have to spend my afternoon being productive as im out with friends for a meal in the evening. I plan to tidy my desk and try and start sewing (with 2 kids with me), i need to call the doctor and a handy man, list a few things on Facebook and wrap more Xmas presents (did about 8 tonight).

Declaring myself at 15%, I havent actually attempted any of the money making parts, have only been over paying so far.

Well done everyone on your progress :T
Hope you had a lovely anniversary break happytails

Well I have finally got to the bank to pay in my £182 craft fair earnings and I also transferred over £100 from my other bank account which was made via Quidco & Mystery Shopping over the last few months. I also added £18 from Avon so:-

Member 17 = 64% :j:j:j:j

Will update signature as soon as the system lets me - keep getting error messages at the mo!

I love this thread too, it really keeps me motivated!
I usually only update monthly but am feeling proud that I have managed to clear a credit card. Doing loads of extra work last month really helped. So my debt is sitting at £18693 meaning I have now paid off a whopping 22%.

Not only that I also had to buy a new laptop (macbook ) plus school clothes for my son (and me!) without adding to my debt. Just one credit card with interest now and im hoping to kill that one before christmas. My habits are definitely changing for the better. Here is to the final 78% :rotfl:
