Don't know if I can do this!?!?

Right, every week I vow to spend less and work towards being debt free!!

I have decided today that by the end of this year, I want to get my main debt (student loan not included) down from £16,484.88 to £10,000.

So, taking out my monthly loan repayments of £269, that leaves me needing to raise a minimum of £2041 extra.

Now some of you on here are amazing at wiping out sums of money from your debts, so I ask for your help.

I already sell on Ebay, but am really desperate now, as I am truly running out of stuff to sell!! I do my clicks on Pigsback, Mystery Shopping assignments and have just applied to AQA.

So any ideas???
Thanks

  • Quidco clicks
    Barclaycard 3800

    Nothing to do but hibernate till spring






  • cashcade free bingo, matched betting (if you have some cash to play with), shop and scan (or something), amazon marketplace, playtrades, quidco (ie bingo bet £10 get £30 back), overtime, slice the pie...
  • I'm not totally sure about how Quidco works, do you have to spend to get back???

    Also how does matched betting work?
    Worried I might get addicted to the Bingo thing as I know what I'm like on the XBox :)

    Have looked at Slice the Pie, but also not sure how this works.

    not with everything, look at this thread this is the current no spends offers.

    Look at my links above, matched betting will take a long time to get into but once you understand it you will be well away. Also the team over there will help you out loads. I understand what you mean with the bingo. I thought that at first but i havent been back ever.

    Have looked at Slice the Pie, but also not sure how this works.

    I think you just rate music and you get some pennys for it. Ok if 1) you like music and 2) you have a few min to kill.

    hope that helps :D
