  • Number 48 with 10% paid off in a month. Thank you so much to this challenge which has inspired me so much and given me the motivation to get this paid off through a mixture of overtime, ebay selling and surveys. I'm shocked what I have achieved in a month. I break it down in to chunks of 10% so now I have a new page in my notebook and ten more boxes waiting to be coloured in. I really don't think I've got much left to ebay but going to see if I can get £39 of stuff listed over the weekend.

    Thanks everyone.

    Hi. Am I too late to join please?

    Debts ate pretty much 15k so my 1%is £150.

    I have plenty of things for eBay and selling sites atm.

    I will get a jar to put the physical cash in and round down my bank once a week. Anything left by payday will be moved out too.
    Make £10 a day Feb £ /£280
