I'm in I've never took to a challenge (never had the guts!) but i've been kicking myself into being organised today - even counted out my spare change jar and took it to asda to be changed in the penny pinching machine :eek:

So here goes:-

1 Overdraught £500 - switching to a&l but in a fuddle with this
2 Capital One £200 - been a lot higher but would like to get this out the way
3 LookAgain - £524 - keep being tempted so threw out catalogue:money:

Wish me luck and good luck to everyone in return.

ehallett - may be a silly question but what is AQA??

Welcome and good luck

AQA is 'Any Question Answered'. It's basically internet research. I get paid for answering questions online that people text in.

See www.aqa.issuebits.com/vacancies.htm

Ive just applied for aqa would really help for some extra cash. Only one more week and then my nursery fees halve saving me about £400.00 a month! so in theory I should be able to do this challenge. However I seem to have the amazing ability to spend money on what appears to be nothing at all! x

Good Luck everyone!!! x

I've been lurking on here for quite a while now and this is just the sort of thing I need to get me motivated and help me get my debts busted!

Overdraft 1 - £500
Overdraft 2 - £100
Pay car insurance off in one go in December - £500

Total £1100

The overdrafts are both with Natwest, no interest accrueing on them at the moment but would like to get them paid off and account's closed so I can wave them good bye:T

I'm gonna join too.....

My 3 debts are:
Next account: £300
Lloyds tsb cc: £583
Barclaycard cc: £614

I think they are the most realistic debts I have that I may be able to clear...I will be ebaying anything I can find that we don't use anymore lol!

Right the kids are in bed, I've poured myself a large drink and I've hunted out the figures I need for this challenge. Deep breath!!

Debt 1 Next: 59.10
Debt 2 LTSB : 842.01
Debt 3 Barclays: 2046.90
Total 2948.01:eek:

I'm hoping to complete this challenge and still make good regular payments on my other rather huge card.

Best start looking for things to ebay. After the day I've had could quite happily put up the kids and the dog! DS blocked the toilet with toilet wipes and the dog sneaked into the living room and repeatedly threw up all over the carpet!! :mad: All this while OH is on the other side of the world on a business trip and will be for another week! Think I'll pour myself another drink!!

Good luck everyone!!

Wow howskint, my lovely dd did the exact same thing today - blocking the toilet with wipes, not sick on the carpet! :rotfl:

My dh is away for a week from next Sunday if dd drives me mad then she can sleep at her Grandads.

'Pay car insurance off in one go in December - £500' - tdb is this really your annual premium, can you have a look around and go through Quidco for better quotes?

I haven't made much from ebay this week, 1 out of 4 items sold and only for minimum bid. Will have to get round to doing a car boot sale now weather is better.

R.e. Xmas I have been savings freebies obtained from this site, used Boots points in reduced section and used vouchers to save for prezzies. I now have a big bag full of gifts and will keep adding to it until Crimbo.

They really pick their moments don't they! It was a brand new packet of wipes too! At least with OH away I'm spending much less on food. Keep turning up at my mums about half an hour before mealtimes!!

always the whole packet as well, not one left in the house now and on last toilet roll. I hope no-one needs a number 2 before tomorrow!
