  • Hi Amy,
    just started my DFD tonight and I have to say, you have inspired me already! You've got some great ideas, and I'm going to see if I can have a weekend as fruitful as yours!

    All the best for your debt free journey, I shall be watching keenly.

    Thanks KellsBells...

    Well I have just got back from selling my car, so that ups my total by £60. poor little car!!! :rotfl:

    I won £20.90 on free bingo last night, so that will go on my total when it clears in my bank.

  • That sounds interesting, I might check it out.
    I booked a trip to Australia about a week ago (my family's over there) and I want to pay it off as quickly as possible.

    Hi Amy, well done on your earnings / claims this w/e. Thats a fab result. Im realy struggling to find ways to earn extra cash without spending ages doing it. May have a look at the bingo thread.

    I hope you can sort something out with your ex re what he owes you. Its a lot of extra debt to take on.
    Good luck with your mission to be debt free by new year.

    Thanks Sassamac.

    To be honest i think i will be struggling a lot over the coming months with finding the extra cash as I am selling everything I can now, which is obviously not going to be here next month, but hopefully it means i can pay off my loan 3 months early, which will save me some money.

    Good luck on the Bingo sites. I havent won any today, but i suppose thats the luck of the draw. :D

    Monday Morning already!!

    Well I had a very productive weekend! After all the extra money I am getting (selling my car, car tax trade in, admin fee charge reimbursement etc.) I also won £70 on Bingo over the weekend (even if it did take me 8 hours of solid sitting at the computer and numerous "no wins" :rotfl: )

    I have a few bits listed on ebay as well, so hopefully they will all sell as well.

    This has really boosted my enthusiasm to stay on the DFW bandwagon. I am so far ahead on what I thought i could save/earn I may even be able to pay off my loan 3 months early, which would be amazing!

    I feel a lot more positive that my goal of being debt free by the end of 2008 could actually happen, and then i can start saving for a nice car (already got my eye on one but thats not for a while yet :rolleyes: )

    :p

    Hi Amy. Congrats on your diary, it's great. There are so many on here now it's a bit hit and miss which I read, but you have the same name as me in RL so I had to pick up this one! You've also got a similar ammount of debt to me, similar DFD date (but wanting it to be before jan 09), I'm going to keep following your diary with intrest while I try to tackle my own debts. Best of luck to you
