Aww thanks a million for saying such nice things. Think lots of us have had hard times and so don't want to go back there.


I remember when we moved here we had (all new to us) a futon double bed, a microwave and a fridge-freezer, no jobs and about £100 in the bank. I know that if you want to you will get there.


Just thought - maybe you can put your target each month on your signature and then you won't have to hunt for it


Good luck and just ask on here if you need any help as everyone very friendly and supportive.


I had some extra hours today so £25 to add and also did an MS meal tonight so another £13. Total today of £38 :T


Hope you all have a fantastic Friday

£10 facebook sale! :j:j:j

Still lots to ebay/facebook - fingers crossed for more sales soon.

Well done on the Facebook sale:beer:.

I keep seeing Facebook sales mentioned by people on various threads so I think it's high time I checked it out myself. I don't even have a Facebook account at the moment:o and although I do reasonably well selling books, CDs and DVDs on Amazon I've become a bit disillusioned with eBay and need another place to sell things that don't fit Amazon's guidelines.

What a lovely thing to say, theemptypurse, and just what I think too:T. The best thing I've done on MSE (after years of lurkdom and occasional posting on other people's diaries etc) was joining this challenge.

A wonderful person on MSE sent me a PM about 18 months ago telling me about StepChange, which, to my embarrassment, I'd never heard of:o:o:o. I was so much in debt at that time, I was truly desperate. That set things going, I set up a DMP and have never looked back. Yes, money is incredibly tight, I still need to make extra money and make every possible saving of even a few pennies every day to survive every month. Not having any lines of credit/overdraft has been a killer:eek: but it has taught me to look at my life in a whole new way. If I don't physically have the cash ready I can't buy it/do it, it's as simple and scary as that

Being totally broke and in so much in debt is a lonely place to be.This thread and challenge, together with the fantastic support of other posters has been amazing. Thanks to you all:A

Sorry not posted much. I am here and earning though! I am keeping all of my earnings in PayPal but I am not declaring until the end of the month as I may need to dip into them. Up to £153 so far, combination of eBay and Bubblews and an Amazon sale.

I need to add stuff to ebay - maybe we can motivate each other? I hate listing on there so keep putting it off. How about we both try to list 5 things a day?

I've had a lot of fb sales this week and managed to pay some more off the mortgage - £325.28 extra paid off it now and i have a lot of invoices to do over the weekend. I'm actually thinking i might increase my target but i will see if i get to the £500 first

Am still not doing a lot else - am bubbling regularly as nearly up to cashing out point for the first time now. Am doing the odd survey too when i can lol!

Evening

I've just renewed DD1s railcard with £15 of Tesco vouchers and charged myself £30, the actual cost of the card. So the £30 can go in the fund.
I've also just done a Pinecone survey and redeemed £3. And there's another which I'll do sometime tonight when I'm in the mood!

Finally a couple of small ebay sales finish in a couple of days time so October isn't looking too bad!

Hope everybody is having a good month!

Nintud

£46.15 for lunch duties (overtime-ish)

Finally listed something else on eBay. Must do better though!

It's fab reading how well others are doing :T
