    Sorry me again - I feel like I'm hijacking this thread but it is so helping me keep focused on my goal.
    I'm declaring a further £100 today from items sold on FB marketplace and orders so my total now stands at:-

    £1152/£2506 which is 44.30%  :)
    Mortgage - £2338.07 paid off Feb 2023 BTL 1 £51,089.10 £35789.36 paid off July 2025 BTL 2 £81,504.52 BTL 3 £77,497.02

    Guess who ;) 
    Just popping by to declare a further 1% towards my total made up of a FB marketplace sale and refunds for craft items I bought but never received and I did not re-order as I decided I didn't need them :)

    So my total now stands at £1722/£2506 which is 66.23%

    Think I must be the only person still doing this challenge. Sorry if I've scared you all off :( 

    I am declaring a further £14 from FB sales and £13 from Quidco which have been paid into my savings account today :) 

    Total now stands at £1749/£2506 which is 67.26%.

    Small progress but progress nonetheless :)

    You’re doing amazing, I’m watching your progress with interest. Think people are just feeling the pinch, I certainly am. Just had to move in to temporary accommodation because of an issue at my house. It’s cost me a lot of money so rather than paying off, my debt has just grown and grown. You’re an inspiration with your income streams, I’m absolutely hopeless at anything practical and quite jealous you can turn a talent in to an income. You’re well on your way to 1% and will try and check in more to keep you motivated, but you seem very motivated, keep going ❤️

    So sorry to hear about your house. Could you claim back your accommodation costs from your insurance possibly or if it is rented accommodation your landlord should foot the bill.
    Hope it gets sorted soon.
    Thanks for your support x

    Me again - just had a lady collect lots of stuff I was selling on FB marketplace so I've added another £177 to my savings :)

    Total now stands at £1926/£2506 which is 74.07%.

    So close to three quarters of the way there but not quite.  Best I start looking for more items to declutter and sell ;)

    Another £23 added to my savings today made up of £11 coupons used on food shopping and £12 refunds for items returned which I no longer decided I needed. 

    Total is now £1949/£2506 which is 74.96% - so close to another percentage being ticked off :)
