    Week 10 and just transferred £35 made from ebay sales. Technically this is "stolen" from my make £5 a day challenge but none the less it keeps me up to date and is my first larger amount paid so far.

    Motivated to get more listed on ebay to help me with next weeks payment! Can't believe we are on week 10 already. Time is flying by. Hope everyone is getting on OK and managing to stick with it. Seems fairly quiet in here.

    I got as far as week 28 and really struggling. Hopefully I'll sell some stuff on ebay and give myself a boost!

    I'm still up to date on my backwards plan. Worked out today that in 3 weeks I will be halfway to the total. Also I'm into the £30's as of next week and that feels great. Keep going everyone.

    I use my savings account and transfer in 4 weeks worth the week i get paid that way its all done and can budget the rest of the month.

    I am also doing it backwards and seems to have worked out, and definitely gets easier!! :)

    Good luck!!
