Hi all
Got 25% of my food at a local curry house last night, got a free coffee with my costa points (wombled a receipt whilst there) and cashed out £45 from eBay from selling unwanted Christmas gifts.
Feeling happy I've tipped over my 1% now.

Thanks adventure wanted i was so sick of seeing it there i decided to get rid of it, now that i have cleared to majority of the credit card i also want to focus on paying my loan off so i may update on the loan as well as cc's.
The only downside is that my car needed repairs so i put the repairs on cc, i still plan to clear this as it is 0% interest deal until next year however my overall percentage has gone down however i am still declaring today:

Number 7 checking in. I have made £21 so far by not having coffee for a week and a half. This week I am going a step further in taking my lunch every day. I usually spent £15 a week at lunchtimes and another £2.20 on a coffee. I'm keeping my Monday and Friday coffees but hoping to have another £21.60 by the end of next week.DF by 2023 No 17 £1,644 /£6000 Total debt £18,000 at the start of DFW Journey. 201814TH JULY 2021 DEBT FREE now in control365 1p challenge No 490

Still not really off the staring block as neither of us have been paid! I've got £15 in nectar points which I'll use for shopping and put the cash in the pot.
I've also got a couple of bits on fleabay and a few more to go.
