I need to pay off 1 of our 0% credit cards asap. The balance is just under £1800 so rounded up for ease.
Ive given myself a deadline of 8th September 2017 (4 months away) but aim to pay it off sooner.
This is going to be from selling items i no longer need and any extra work i take on (i am self employed).
Works out at £450 a month :eek: so I've got my work cut out for me i think as until September I have my youngest daughter home with me every afternoon as she doesnt start school until then! Its very difficult to work whilst shes about.
Looking forward to sharing my journey here, whether anyone reads it or not. :rotfl:

Hiya
Where do you sell stuff? There are so many options nowadays like eBay, Gumtree, Facebook selling pages and car boots. Love Gumtree as of course there are no fees - yeay!"Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits" Thomas Edison

What a fantastic start, it's amazing how motivating paying off smaller amounts can be 0
