    Helllllloooooo!!

    Thanks to Emilys credit card challenge I finally got rid of a few debts as you can see in the list below.... Thanks Emily!!

    I wish to start a new challenge!! I need to get rid of a £1000 in 2 months. Can this be done??:confused: well im not sure but im going to try!! :T

    I challenge you to join me and get rid of a grand!!

    Things im going to do.....

    :D sell on ebay
    :D work my new waitress job (no cleavage for tips involved;) )
    :D Get friends to order from my catalogue to get the cashbak
    :D try and get some money through quidco
    :D maybe some mystery shopping..... not tried this yet

    At the moment my wages from my main job just covers (sometimes not) my main bills so nothing can come from this....

    If you are to join this challenge say now!!! list what you have earned and keep a total at the end of every message. Im just a lady workin her !!! off to get rid of debt!!

    Ready... steadyEddie.... GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rotfl:

    OK Dezzi - I will give it a go - I am due to start holiday end of next week so have time to do car boots (after 10 days break in ireland where I will have plenty of time to write letters etc). I want to learn all these strategies i have seen referred to on this site such as quidco and mystery shopper etc and that will give me a good incentive to start learning. I would also like to stop smoking sometime over the next 6 weeks which will make a small contribution to the debt. It's very late now, need to go to bed, but you're on. I will join the challenge. I will add details etc at the weekend. thank you for that. jaquie.

    I would like to join if I may?

    My partner has a heart attack three weeks ago and is now going to be off for 8-12 weeks so I need all the money I can get!!

    My plan of action is to Ebay like a mad thing!! I have loads of clothes to sell so I will chain myself to computer desk until I have listed them all!

    Woohoo I am all motivated now! Have been feeling a bit down about my situation recently, a couple of debts have escalated to debt collection and things are looking bleak so I am determined to do this!!

    Thanks for starting this thread!
    hi there - i've never done this before - how did you count your £4.12? Jaquie (trying to get to grips with this)

    Can I join too.

    £1,000 by 31st July 2007 if that's alright as it is easier for me to account in full months.

    Ebay, sensible shopping, no driving and sandwiches instead of Chinese's for lunch are my plan!


    ZD
    by 31 july!! That's 3 weeks!! Phew - i couldn't possibly do that. I guess we are having different end dates then? Jaquie
