Little update from me as I haven't posted much recently, overdraft paying off is still going strong. I have sold another book on Amazon, hubbie finally helped me to set up snooker table to take photos so I have put this on Ebay this afternoon, and he also gave me 2 pc games to sell on there.
I really hope snooker table sells as it would eat a big chunk out of the od and also be out of my living room!
Everyone else is going great - well done :T0 -
Hi everyone
this is my first post and thought your challenge would be a great way to start getting out of my debt.
My three debts will have to be:
Paying back my dad £300
one of my catalogues £252
My overdraft £400 (at my max!!)
I am doing a car boot tomorrow to get rid of some junk and make a little money. Fingers crossed it goes ok.
Bye for now

Haven't been posting for long, and this challenge may be the kick up the bum I need :j
I don't have any small debts that could be paid off by crimbo, but ideally I'd like to halve the two debts I do have...
Barclaycard £943.45 - Pay off by crimbo £471.72
Next £2,196.52 - Pay off by crimbo £1098.26
About to join up to Quidco as I plan to do all my Christmas shopping through that site!!!

Thought I'd better update those totals:
AmEx: was £497 now £374
Virgin: was £389 still £389
Egg: was £289 now £193
Oh well that's a step in the right direction I suppose. Hope to clear £200 off Virgin shortly.Resolution:
Think twice before spending anything!0
