Pay off £20,000 (ish) by Xmas 2008

Me neither still struggling to get through the weeks on budget!! But I've had quite a long time to myself today and i've sat and comped my bum off!!

Trying to get some goodies to flog to battle that mini challenge!!! From there its plain sailing :rolleyes:

Cool, I'll give it a go then, thank you pollydaydream

I searched Amazon for some of my CDs and a few are coming up at a fiver minimum listing by other people which is good to know and more than I thought I would get for any (mind you many also came up at 69p - clearly I like the slightly obscure and the really flipping mainstream)

I'm in the same boat! Can't see me being able to pay off anything extra this month and have been listing like mad on Amazon and getting very excited every time I sell something...rock and roll this debt free wannabee lifestyle isn't it?;)

I have the exciting prospect of staying in this evening as I am also doing the no alcohol in January challenge and I knew if I went out I wouldn't be able to resist dealing with a stressful day by necking the largest glass of wine I could find! Ho hum, off to look for more things to sell...

I think there's a lot of us in the same boat this month, but as long as we keep our heads above water, then we can make up for it next month.

I put money from cheques for mystery shopping and survey sites into my savings account, so that's an extra £79 for me. I have done two mystery shops tonight and have four jobs lined up for tomorrow so will mean a little bit more income. Slice the pie is back so will hopefully get back into that tomorrow evening.

Am debating between an early night or going and doing some surveys so that i can increase my total.

girlfrommars, i couldn't see me being able to stay away from alcohol for a month, can't beat a glass of wine on a Friday evening, when you know you've got the weekend ahead of you.:beer:

which MS company you with? I've had 3 assignments come through this week from GFK but the all are weekdays either lunch or during the day so can't do them

Another £100 paid off today and one more card at £0.00 :j

Have added the payments which would be going out on the 12th too, even though they'll be going out Monday. Over target :T

I'm with loads of mystery shopping companies. I had a break from mystery shopping over the Christmas period but am trying to get into it. The ones tomorrow are for Amber Arch, Gapbuster and Grassroots. I try and get loads to do on the same day, save on transportation costs and my time.

Gemmzie, your doing really well this month, keep it up.

Well...I went out and got a part-time job to add to my freelance income.

Even better, it's with one of my clients and they are willing to keep the writing work I do for them freelance so I will do only client-based stuff part-time with them.

And they've offered me a results-based commission!!!! Woohoo!

Things are looking up.

I love you people!

I want to do at least 20k by next Xmas, no idea whether I can. haven't counted all my debts yet but I'm mustering up the will to.....Suffice to say it'll be at least 30k.
I'm looking at Amazon, ebay, comps and any other bright ideas. I 'm not blessed with spare time but I pledge to do my utmost and record it.

thanks for the inspiration and good luck all:T
