Ive lurked here for a while and picked up lots of tips. Whilst my debt is not a huge amount its still crippling me! As off 2months ago I owed on 2 store cards and a visa up to the max plus large overdraft.
I now have one store card as I paid one off last month and have sold enough on Ebay this month to clear the other one.
If I can do it..so can anyone.
I must admit though I become quite obsessed and excited when I am able to pay more off.
thankyou to you all for helping me get out of this self inflicted mess :beer:

I have Ebayed like a mad thing! Ive sold over £300 on Ebay this month with things that are just lying around, mainly baby things which is,to me, just clutter.
Also had a go on the grand national link posted on here and won £150.
We did a carboot a few weeks ago which only made £45 profit but I enjoyed it, cleared loads of stuff and made a few pounds towards essentials for the month as work didnt pay me when I went back to work after maternity leave as *someone* in the office forgot to let the pay people know i was returning!!
Cant wait until im more financially better off. I owe a total of £5.5k now and its getting lower by the day:jMay £10 a day challenge£19.61/£310Ebay challenge...£12.61/£2000 -

Congrats, sounds like you've been really motivated to clear your debts, wish my sister would take a leaf out of your book. It doesn't matter how many times i tell her, she still can't seem to see the light!
