Had a good break not posting anything on eBay and was feeling a bit lazy. Had a little sale this morning, only £1ish after fees and postage but enough to motivate me to post 4 clothes items. Sold one immediately and so #38 at 19%. So close to 20%! I really want to post the other 15 or so items, but sadly the computer is busy.19/12/14: Spent 10 years of savings!!

This feels massive£400 of money earned on top of my wage and waiting to go off the debt repayment.
Funnily enough this 1% was from old ebay listings. The 15 clothe auctions are listed now though.

Please sign me up.
I tried this challenge a few years ago but wasn't honest with myself and continued to spend and increase debt whilst paying my 1%.
So, my debt is really daunting and feels pretty insurmountable right now. For that reason , I am going to set my target at 0.5% if that is ok?
