  • It certainly does although I keep looking round and for the life of me I can't see £600 quid lying around the house waiting to sell. Maybe I could sell the dog .........:cool: .........cunning plan?? LOL.

    I battle on but I do feel that I am become a little obsessive about money saving??

  • You are so right - being obsessive about £ has helped reduced the debt so I'm with this one all the way.

    Just relisted some bits on ebay - whilst working from home - so I've got 16 bits ticking away. i'm planning to trawl out some more bits to sell over the next few days for a listing bonanza next week. To be honest the listing is the easy bit its the parceling/posting which is a complete pain. I'm not complaining since it brings the pounds in..........

    must crack on

  • Thanks Verbatim

    I'm sure that I will it just seems such a daunting amount at this point in time. Once the big money is in its down to smaller amounts. Mind you I've sure i've still got a housefull of [strike]junk[/strike] stuff to sell but nothing for very much value so I'll just have to go for the volume approach :D

    My fall back position is that we've £1k emergency savings which I could dip into for any shortfall to clear the loan but that really is a last resort.

    Hunting for 600 items in the clutter of the house..............easy :D
