I need help!

So impressed with your story......its actually prompted me to review my own situation. Decided to stop plodding along in the slow lane of debt repayment and do an all out sprint to the finish....so although its 6 months to go...I'll see you at the finish line. :T:T:T

WOW! Thank you!

That's lovely of you to say. All the best with your journey, at the beginning 6 months seems like such a long time but it really isn't! You will feel amazing at the end I promise!

Well I may *everything crossed* be able to pay my debt off in 17 days.

A few things have aligned really and if I sell a few things on ebay I may just get there. Its my birthday this week and a lot of family now know my situation and have kindly offered to give me cash instead of presents. I have also done a couple of extra shifts at work and I did some work for the recent elections.

Going to get a few items listed on Ebay tonight. They are a few larger ticket items so hopefully if only a few sell I can hit my target.

I need to get into the habit of using Onepoll and Quidco again.

So I have three items listed so far. Two have BINs and 1 Auction Style.

The auction one already has bids so that is promising.

I have everything crossed I will be debt free by 26th May

Well everything is coming together really. I need to pay my birthday money into the bank so I can pay it off the credit card. Then its just a waiting game until payday to clear the rest. Eeek!!!

Ok so plans are in motion. Hopefully £400 will come off the CC on Thursday. Then the final £1000 next Thursday I can't believe I will debt free in just over a week!! Need to get some more eBaying done this week. There are a few items that I completely forgot I owned clothing wise.

I will be ditching the Barclaycard next Thursday it has a 5k limit and I don't need it. I will just be keeping my halifax card which has a 1k limit until I have built up an appropriate emergency fund.

Paid £300 off the CC today hopefully another £100 to come off tomorrow once a cheque clears!!!

I am so excited to be debt free. Listing more items on eBay as we speak. Only 8 days left!!!!!!

It all feels a little surreal to be honest I can't wait to start seeing the house savings mount up!!!

Well ebay items are selling well. Wondering if I may have priced some of my items a little low but to be frank I'd rather have the cash. The Fees just really bug me! Some of the lower value items I have on there are going to the charity shop instead I think. I can't be bothered for all the effort to end up with 50p at the end of it. I'd rather let the charity shop try and sell some stuff.

I've decided that any extra's I make from OnePoll, Quidco or eBay will go into the emergency fund.

So I still need to pay an extra £100 off the debt once the funds clear. It's taking ages its my payment for the elections work I did.

On another note eBay is going well I have £138.70 in my general savings just from sales. One poll is at £5.10, Quidco is at £5.92 with £2.86 tracked.

Working an extra shift again this weekend. Should hopefully help make next month a super saving one. Can't wait for 26th to get rid of this debt once and for all.

Wowee! You've whooped your targets and your debts. I'm so impressed. And jealous. Think I started the same time as you.
Mere days to go well done you xxxx
