Woohooo...

That's £360 towards my debts.
£350 for a scooter that's been lurking in my garage
£10 for a load of Barbie stuff I've found lurking in my attic!

Now to decide which debt to pay it off...should I put it all towards my RBS overdraft (£900 OD) or split?
;)I am not a complete idiot - some parts are missing;)

    Good for you!!!!!
    If you're getting charged for being overdrawn then paying some off it would make sense.
    I'm doing a car boot sale tomorrow with a load of stuff, wish me luck!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I need to go to a car boot...might be easier to just open my front door though!!

    RBS are charging me £10 a month interest for the OD...but seeing as the house is being handed back to the mortgage company...we could do with some money to help us get started in the new house.... :S

    Decisions...decisions....

    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    I may be able to better that. I was involved in a shunt. No obvious damage apart from a small rattle. Waiting for third parties insurance to make an offer. bearing in mind only bought the car 3 months ago for £700 valuation says £3500 in immaculate condition but £3000 in good condition. Also i get to keep the car and will be able to sell it off on ebay as the insurance inspector says will not be registered so approx £6k in a few weeks time.

    I've done a few carboots, and despite watching the carboot programme on the TV there is no way people will pay anything like the prices they quote on that programme, my tip is price the stuff as cheap as chips, if you sell 50 items at £1, its £50 in your pocket. I always price my stuff at £1 or less and I have always made in the excess of £60 - £190 at each carboot depending on weather.

    The May bank holiday is a good time to do them, people have just been paid and the weather is slightly warmer than it is now.

    Just don't do my trick and nearly fall through the loft-hatch!
    I really wish my brain would work properly at the moment. I really need it right now.

    Well Done!!! I would put it on the debt that charges the highest interest. That'll save you a packet.
