    Wow jpwhittle, your certainly doing well on Amazon. I have noticed my sales on Amazon have gone up too and am in agreement with everyone else, that every little helps.

    Welsh dragon you certainly have a lot of motivation, good for you. I am not currently in debt but if it was not for threads like this then i think i would be.

    Am doing well with my totals, over £200 in cash, a lot of which is down to mystery shopping and matched betting. Sold some of my things on ebay though which will help to keep the clutter down while raising me a little bit.

    I will update my sig later but keep up the hard work everyone.

    Dezzi, sorry to hear about your relationship break up and hope you get things sorted.x

    What a good idea! I'm new here, but would like to join in with £500 before Christmas :)

    I've got about £72 in £2 coins saved - but I think I'll keep that separately for Christmas holidays, and use the £500 towards debt :)

    I did some extra work for £40 on Saturday, and found a fiver in the street on Sunday, so I take it they count?

    That's £45 for me, then, £455 to go!

  • Yeah! I've just sold something on Amazon, so off to a good start at £3.67. Also, I don't need to pay postage as they live less than a mile away! I'll wrap it up nicely and drop it round tomorrow. Hopefully all my old text books will sell now. I've also got about £40 tracking through the cashback sites, but I'm only doing daily clicks at the moment. I'll be renewing my car insurance next week, and pru have given me a very competitive quote with £130 back, so it should start stacking up.

    This is really motivating and some people are doing really well already!
    March 2016 - £178,914.59; July 2017 £146,160.38
    Mortgage end Sept 2043; Target - pay off by March 2022, now Sept 2021
