Well soon I'm hoping to sell some stuff as my ex gave me back all the kiddish stuff I brought him like figures and stuff. All the stuff he begged me to buy him he's given back to me so I may as well sell it since he don't want itand I don't

charleybear I'm so sorry to hear of this. The next few months might be a bit tough for you, but you will always be able to find support on here.

Hang in there!

I'm starting this challenge again.
I'd like to aim for 1% of £500.00
but it's going to take me longer as I took
some money out of my savings account
to pay off my laptop or buy a phone but my mum didn't want it and I spent some of it, which is why I want to put it all back into my account.

So I think 1% of £500.00 = £5.00 ?

Hi charleybear, so sorry to hear about you and your boyfriend! I hope you're ok!

After today I'm off work until Monday so my gameplan is as follows:

• eBay a lot of old good quality clothes
• eBay things I don't want (or have room for!) anymore
• put my guitar on gumtree
• take other clothes to clothing recycling
• check out prices for dvds and games no longer needed on webuy and music magpie
• sort out old books
• Swagbucks (at least 500SB)
• Work out this months finances and see if there is anywhere I can scrimp and save
• Ring Sky and ask to reduce bills as I'm out of contract - BT are offering Infinity, calls, free youview box and BTSport for £20/month (£35.95 including line rental - almost half what it costs me atm :shocked:)
• Declutter kitchen and use items from cupboard
• Make a checklist to remind me of stuff I need to buy from the supermarket - hopefully reducing impulse buys!

Can I join in this thread please? Im in a DMP so the minimum payments are taken care of (as in payments are being made month on month to my creditors so thats something!)

My 1% is a total of £176 rounded up so here goes nothing. I will be ebaying like there is no tomorrow, going to get out the bread maker and slow cooker and do some batch cooking. Also after speaking to hubby yesterday the plan is that we dont set foot in a supermarket until we are considering eating flowers out of the flowerbeds and have used up everything in our freezer/cupboards. Might have to get creative!

£3930/ £4130 Paid = 95%!!!!

Dont listen to his nonsense!

It's free eBay listings on 10 day auction style listings today! Get listing everyone! Typically it's my busiest day but hoping to get a few items on later, got some designer bits I can sell.

Going to be sewing up some party bags for DDs party. Got books to go in it and a few sweets and I already had scrap fabric to use so some unique party bags for about £1 each

Payday for us today also
