Number 48 3% paid!
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....0 -

Number 48 4% paid!
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.0 -

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 :-)
