Off to a mini start, £12.09 from Quidco and have put a few bits on ebay just old craft stuff I'm not using, so far up to £7.57 on that with a few more to go so just a bit but decluttering as well.
Going to look up Cash 4 Clothes in a bit as I have about three suitcases of unwanted clothes and although I won't get a lot for them they're not the sort of thing that will sell on eBay. Having said that I have a couple of dresses suitable for christmas parties which might get about a fiver each so I may hold onto those until October time when people are looking for them!
Like a lot of people I am struggling for inspiration and motivation this month! However I have just realised that so far this year I have reduced my debt by £4500 all on my own - and its debt that has just been getting worse and worse over the past five years, this is the first ever year its been positiveDebt Free by 2015: £5839.01/£13000 1% challenge = 44.91%CAMRA Member: Drinking Ale doesn't make me any less of a woman :beer:0 -
Another quick one (see what happens when I'm away for a week?!) me and the other half were saying last night how there is loads on at the cinema at the moment that we want to watch but that we can't afford £8.80 each to go... so remembering that I have tesco vouchers I thought I'd go on there and use them instead as a treat.
What a bonus - Tesco have currently got an offer on where Cineworld (my nearest) are doing a special offer; instead of £4 of tesco vouchers for an adult ticket it is £2.50 per adult ticket. So we have now got three sets of cinema tickets which would have cost a whopping £52.80 for nothing
And there are at least six films we want to see so yey can't wait!!! BIG savings xDebt Free by 2015: £5839.01/£13000 1% challenge = 44.91%CAMRA Member: Drinking Ale doesn't make me any less of a woman :beer:0 -

Bad news on the fees tho, any ideas for alternative sites?LBM Dec 2013, Total Debt £31,992.06 Debt Free Date June 20220 -
Finally getting going this month £40.69 TCB, 21.77 dividend payment, 15.01 Amazon sales and 1.32 on eBay for selling an office chair and CD unit gutted the items only went for 99p but suppose its better than nothing and easier than taking up the skip myself.
Lots of items ending on eBay tomorrow so hopefully get up top £100 by the weekend:D
Gutted about the extra charges i usually charge £3.50 for postage for small parcels and post 1st class the extra 50p tends to cover eBay and Paypal fees. No ones really complained i always get good feedback commenting on how quick the items are delivered. People actually running shops on here as a business can't be making much with the extra cost of postage and now theses added fees.0 -
Just £3.70 from TCB and £5 facebook sale to add today. Just finished doing sum extra work which should be £50 on Saturday but not counting it til I receive it. Also work have agreed to pay some overtime as we are doing too much extra work and not getting paid for it! Only a one off payment though as Overtime isn't 'company policy!' That wont come until September pay day though :-(0

Just on to say with overtime and a couple of payment due for looking after aunts garden when she was on hols and petrol money for acting as a taxi for a 5 mile round trip I have completed my make £5 a day and reached £180, so would like to change my challenge to the make £10 a day instead. Feeling its actually going to be pretty achievable due to overtime worked.Lloyds loan £7045.16/£0.00 Lloyds CC £896.99/£649.25, barclaycard £2792.20/£4582.93, OD £1500, Next £210.43/£734.21, OD £300, Virgin CC £3135/£1108.53, Starting total,£15829.78, running total, £8874.92 paid off to date, £2303/6811.76/6654.86
