  • Number 48 2% paid! All from surveys. So super excited by the extra money that is coming in because of all the effort I am putting in. And it's all because of this challenge! £3822 remaining.

    Who do you do your surveys with? I do surveys but always get told I don't qualify so end up not really getting anything.

    Had a good ish eBay Sunday night. I got a bit sick of all the things I have been relisting for ages and put them all as a £. Loads of things sold but all for very little but it added up to a % and my house is a bit more empty. Also has motivated me to put some other bits on. Off to do that now....

    I've not been giving my ebay much tlc this month so just four sales so far this month I think. I'm going to drop the price of a few more bits. I took off some last week and took them to charity instead. Would like to get to £500 by the end of this month.

  • Well done everyone on your 1%s and well done to Lauralozzle for paying off credit card 1.

    #1 - now up to 30% paid. This has been mainly from additional work and better budgeting, but in April & May the additional hours won!!!8217;t be as good, so need to look into (and get up the motivation) to sell bits on eBay & gumtree. Have been saying this for months and still haven!!!8217;t done anything about it! Also have been a bit slack recently with surveys so need to start doing them again.

    Feeling very demoralised today but I will focus on the next % and nothing else (in theory!)

    All my %s have been achieved through extra hard work so that does make me proud as normal me wouldn't have done this.
  • #15 up to 6%

    It's slowed down somewhat but I'm still plugging away

    Number 20 here. Sorry to be a pain but I had cleared my first 100% balance and was going to do my next at £34 but have actually changed my mind and want to clear off a small loan first so my 1% will be £16 instead hope that's okay. So number 20 reporting at 2% off of an eBay sale :-)
    This totally motivates me! Xx
