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
