    Have you got anything you can sell on ebay or Amazon or at a car boot? How about joining Emily's pay off a debt in August challenge and try and raise cash to pay the council tax?

    Joining a challenge would be an excellent way of getting on top of the council tax.

    Good news on the credit card, though - soon be gone completely!!
