    Sold my leatherwork stuff to my friend for £50 (coming in installments) and also she may buy some clothes off me tomorrow. :j

    Had to buy new bras today, my last 2 have both broken in the last few weeks after being repaired a few times already I gave up and bought more, 3 in m&s for the grand total of £10.99 :j and swapped dd2 gap hoody for 2 summer cardigans as she hasn't got any outfits to match hoody that I impulse bought before Xmas so swapped it for things she needs in summer that will match :D and got 1p back haha

    Had a costa today, first one of the year, £2.50 no cake :T

    Ive amended my total as ive changed my challenge. So far my 1st debt is a total of £4300, so my 1% is £43, which is better than it was last year at £65! So it should be easier to clear this debt as I hope to dedicate at least £600 of my monthly pay packet to this debt, which is potentially 13.95% a month! (I love maths!) so far through ebay and the like I have paid off £200 so I am at my grand 2014 total of 4.65% yay!


    Member 102 – 1% = £43, total so far 4.65%

    Earned £6 selling some toys to a friend today. Though she owes me £55 now and will be paying me weekly.

    Nothing much else to report except trying not to spend much money and so far I feel like I'm doing ok:p
