    #43 made an extra £32.27 this month so far so going straight off a debt :) How do you all work out your monthly payments to credit cards? I still pay interest on mine so I guess I deduct the interest paid to get to the actual amount I have paid off? Hoping to do some switching this year to reduce the interest, always fearful I will be rejected even though I have never been before. I HATE being in debt these days so glad the light bulb has finally pinged in my brain!

  • I get that anything is better than nothing but to be honest if I'm letting stuff go for a few pounds it isn't worth my time photographing / listing / and standing in the queue at the post office plus I bought dusters for a couple of quid. It makes more sense to cut the cheap clothes up.
