  • Almost feel silly logging a 1.50pish profit from an eBay sale, but it pushes me into the next percent! Just shows how much those pence count.

    No 10 here. Can I change my total to pay to £3993 so my 1% is now 39.93. I have now paid 17.9% of this and hopefully will pay some more soon.

    Had a few outgoings that weren't expected along with several close family birthdays so starting to feel a bit disheartened again now.... can't seem to see where the pennies are going to come from for the next %
  • Ahhh! Didn't realise this was here! I was on the original 1% thread years ago. I'll be back soon with my total, this is exactly what I needed.

    Hi I would like to join you all if I can please?
    I have worked out my 1% is £114. I won!!!8217;t lie I am feeling a bit daunted that my 1% is over £100, but I like the idea of only being 100 payments away from being debt free! Very motivating...

    Hi often do people post? Every time they get to 1%?
    Staring debt - June 2013 - £21,000
    Current debt - February 2018 - £11,378.60

    Hi Rexelpink, welcome :) I post every time I hit 1%. It means I post often, but every once in a while I see an older post of mine and it's so motivating to know I'm in a better position this day and so will be even more so each day going ahead.

    Today I came back from work to find four ebay items had sold. Three were only 2.99, leaving me £1.50ish profit, but the fourth was almost £20 profit. Jumped up two %!
