Hiya Emily
I must have kept missing you on the board as i've not seen you around for ages. How's things? Good luck with your new challenge xx

Hi

I've been good thanks. Still chipping away at the debt and probably will be for the next couple of years!! Congratulations on clearing yours :T :T

I have just managed to pay another £10 off my card from some Paypal money that came through. I have also sold another of the items that I put on Ebay last night for £10 and the buyer is sending a cheque today.

I have got another mystery shop today and will be posting some Ebay items.

Have a great day everyone

Good morning everyone,
Well i have sold another book so thats 25 in amazon payment acc i just need to wait for 14 days i think for that. Just paid another 10 off barclaycard so thats 455 to go. I have change to bank when back at work next week another 30 at least. I am also waiting for a cheque for bank charges so will throw a bit at the barclaycard. I get paid next week so can put another 100 or so on it as well. Sounds like a plan doesnt it.
good luck

Has anyone thought about the ebay fee's with this selling fever? ive just sold two items today and then i realised i now have about £10 in ebay fee's to pay... do'h!
Now ive managed to send payments totalling 114£ to my b'card now, so not doin too badly.

ALSO put loadsa book on greenmetropolis too so will see how they do...

Gonna experiment and put a few things on facebook marletplace later methinks n see what that's like, i think its supposed to be free to list.

Sold an old steroe on ebay, but now i wish i had put an add in post office or carbooted it, might have got a better price!! tut oh well, live n learn. Keep goin all

I had a call today to say that one of my long awaited prizes is being despatched so fingers crossed that it will be here by Sunday so that I can list it on Ebay. It's supposed to be worth £130 but I don't really have any idea what it is, all I know is it's a kids transporter .

Another of my items on Ebay is already up to £26 and it doesn't finish until Sunday so it looks like I'll be ok for another £50 at least with the £10 item that I sold yesterday.

Wow!! Everyone is doing so well. I know what you mean Emily re the motivation with a challenge and you are right. I have been cashing in everything I can get my hands on to try and do this lol. Need to wait until it all reaches my paypal account and my bank account and then pay it off. Don't want to take money out of paypal until I have £50 and get it for free:o . Gosh I'm getting tight!!

My son wants a PSP for christmas so that might be my next challenge. To get that without using a card. Then DD will no doubt have decided what she wants and I can try and get that too. xx

Time for an update - so far I have a grand total of £141.00 for my debt - less than £70.00 to go now. yeay me!

I havent even sold anything yet! I have been putting all the extra money that I would usually leave in my purse and spend on [EMAIL="!!!!"]!!!![/EMAIL] and my OH has been putting in money from his earnings too.

It just goes to show how much money I waste without even realising it!

Keep going everyone. x

I know I'm a week late, but please, please, please can I join?!

We've just transferred our 2 worst APR cards to Egg for 12 months 0%, but we had to leave £677 still on the NatWest card.

DH and I actually said today that we would aim to pay that off by the end of this month (then we're going to try and clear the Mint card before its 0% runs out at Xmas - £4k :eek: but that'll be another challenge altogether!!!)

I'd already intended taking £200 out my business account from money made from Ebay, so I'll do that tomorrow and pay straight to NatWest which reduces it to £477. I'm also waiting on just over £25 from Greasy Palm and about £250 from Quidco, so as long as they arrive in plenty of time, I have got some hope of completing the challenge - not sure where the other £200 will come from, but I'm determined to find it!

You're all doing brilliantly - keep it going!!!:j

I just read my own signature, and if it is right, then we actually only owe £644, not the £677 that I posted above, so that's £33 off my target already, not a bad amount to reduce it by in under 30 seconds (not intentional cheating, honest: it is nearly 2am so brain functioning at about 15%!):p
