  • Not sure if i am still able to join, have been looking for other ways to add extra to the pot so going to loof through the list at the start of the thread and pick a couple to get started with.

    Looking to repay one of the debts £500 so each 1% is £5 doesn't sound much but there really isn't much room in our budget. so all monies will have to come from selling/making extra.

    Hi everyone,

    Not much from me, spent the £40 I'd earned on a new chest of drawers for my room since mine are broken. Made about £15 this week in sales, that's sat in paypal. Just been doing 1 day listings til weds to try and get last minute sales in for christmas. Got 2 parcels to post today, still chasing a non payer. Also need to chase up a courier claim for missing parcel content. Grr

    Is everyone ready for Xmas?

  • Small amount for me this weekof £10.50, I also had a missing parcel and refunded £4.50 to the buyer.

    Thats it now until after Christmas then I'll be listing away to continue the declutter marathon.

    Have also spoken to mum about it and we came up with a plan to sell some of the ingerited cutlery sets and coffee sets and so on rather than on ebay. That plan's for new year, hoping I can get more funds into the loan settlement account. Have made 1% though so at least that's a start.

    Good luck everyone and I'll be back on next year!

    Hi all. Had to fork out £12 worth of refunds. Due £16.29 in the way of a cheque from Collect+ (£9 worth is going back to the buyer of a lost item). Made an extra £5 since i last posted so transferred £20 to the debt pot. Should be working out how much we have saved for debt 3 tomorrow or Friday. Im estimating its about £3000 but we could really do with £3500 so hoping to keep Xmas cheap and make some cuts in the budget for January.

    1 week to Xmas everyone :) Everything except to home made presents are all done. Food shop ordered, all presents wrapped and labelled, all but 1 parcel posted off and im getting excited!

  • Managed 2% this month, which is fab, but bit worried it wasn't more than that given that I didn't have to pay any tax this month :o Going to have to get better at this!!!

    Have started juggling my credit cards to get on best interest, but still got to do my budget for 2014. Ho hum, one thing at a time. :D
