I’ve reduced the limit to £200 to ensure I don’t use it again. Soon to be first debt gone for 2025, to be rapidly followed by the Nationwide CC, potentially be the end of February 😁Sarahwithlove said:That's great news about very, bet you can't wait to see the back of it.MBNA 430/14000

Be warned. Debt busting becomes addictive

I’ll have to feed my addiction from the remnants of my bank account today. I doubt anyone will go out in the snow to collect their parcels.RelievedSheff said:Be warned. Debt busting becomes addictive
vinted rant: why don’t some buyers click “everything is ok” when they have received and checked their delivery? It takes a second, and sellers have to wait 2 days to be paid if the buyer doesn’t bother.
Some take days to collect too. I’ve had an item I sent on Boxing Day, just sitting in a shop waiting to be collected for a week now. I’ll also bet the buyer doesn’t click “everything is ok” when/if they collect it.
i need that £6 to feed my debt busting addiction!!MBNA 430/14000

Agree with you, I do it for all my vinted purchases to ensure the sellers get paid out quickly but never has it happened to me. Reminded me to relist some items today, better pictures and a new item. I have been following a big Vinted seller on TikTok and using their tips.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings boards.

First day of 2025 with no Vinted sales 😩
I’ve slipped on uploading so have set myself a target of 12 uploads on Sunday. I have 3 parcels to drop off on Sunday morning, then home to upload a dozen more.
I’ve edited my signature to show total debt repaid so far this year and my reducing mortgage. I’m behind on the items decluttered. I intend to start car booting once the weather improves. I could do two per week locally, and one further a field if I can find a carboot sale on a Saturday. I need to knuckle down on the debt repayments.
Im finding it hard to get motivated. The flat needs a good sort and tidy. I’m doing it in ten minute chunks whilst listening to a podcast, but I find I’m making more mess than I’m clearing. Any tips on a good tidying method when everywhere looks like an episode of Hoarders?MBNA 430/14000
