    me too!!
    I am DETERMINED to get rid of the barclaycard debt, once that's gone i've about 5k in loans then no debt, woo hoo!! So put me down for £1620. Got a load of things listed just now to gonna do one final search of the flat for anything else i may have.
    As for things going cheap, i just look at it as if i get 50p it's 50p more than i would have got if i had left it where it was so everything's a bonus!

    Welcome all, thanks to maz i have added challengers on the first post so you can all see what number you have, thanks for that!

    I didnt do it to start with coz i really didnt think this was goin to turn into a full on challenge, lol, i am so pleased it has tho, i am trying to think of it as 7000 things to sell rather than £7000 to pay, (just sounds better, hehe) will subtract my total once bills have been paid or else i could have made my target and still be in debt as the money might have been frittered away else where, ohh hark at me thinking i might ACTUALLY find 7000 things!! every little helps as the advert goes,
    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!
    (am goin to start listing now, honest....)
