My Mission

I am on a mission! I really want to pay off £10,000 of my debts this year.

I am on a DMP with CCCS and my payments for the year will total £3630 so that leaves £6370 to pay off. I have £187 in my paypal account from selling things on eBay so this leaves £6183 to find.

I am going to use this thread to keep me on track as I need to try and make £18.96 a day extra so call it £20:eek: I am going to do this by selling on eBay, daily clicks, mystery shopping and free bingo.

Would love anymore ideas to meet my target I am also doing the olympic challenge to keep me motivated. My real motivation is by paying this extra amount it will reduce my DFD by 20 months!!

So am sorry if this kind of diary bores anyone but I need it for the motivation and if anyone else reads it/posts it will be a bonus!!:o

  • Hi Candy.... congrats on ur mission, and well done on the good start!!!
    And WOW if u can knock 20 months off ur DFD, its thats not a motivational tool, I don't know what is!
    Do u do matched betting? That might be something to look into..... also, do u do Amazon selling? I picked up from the Amazon thread that there are certain kinds of books that sell rubbish in charity shops but well on Amazon... things like Uni text books etc..... take a look at the Amazon sellers thread on the eBay board (and sorry if already do that!)

    I shall be cheering you on from the sidelines..... go Candy, go Candy!:T

    Yes I have used the code. I also have just got £5.70 as a second chance offer has just been accepted:j Doesnt sound like much but it all helps with the £20 total a day.
