moneymabels debt free by 2009 challenge

**Amy**

Hi Jen Jade!

Have you tried Amazon and Play.com for old books and DVDs/CDs? May be worth a try?

Would suggest free bingo sites (as in you get £10 free to play when you sign up) but if you're not sure about gambling might be best to stay clear.

You seem to be doing really well.

MM - thanks for the congrats!! I couldnt believe it when i saw my title! Hopefully should have another £600 roughly to come off the total the end of the month! :j

Thats brill Amy-it's really starting to come down now! i'm hoping to have £350 this month possibly £400 if i get paid from the wedding shop for my jewellery and a few more things get paid on quidco(-yay betfair validated this morning!)

Jenjade, at least you spent £9 on bargains and not a few magazines and sweets which i have been known to do :rolleyes:
I'm not sure about that matched betting, i know its supposed to be good but looks waaay to complicated for me. Ive deone 2 credit cards on quidco, also can recommend the alliance and leicester e-saver savings account, open with a pound and get £20 quidco cashback!, only did it a couple of months ago and money has been recieved by quidco already. Am also in the process of changing mt current account to A&L for £50 cashback-and the fact they actually pay interest when in credit unlike the poxy amount nationwide pay 0.10 % whoopdedoo:rotfl:
If you didthat lot its over £100 cashback-1/5 of your remaining debt woo-hoo!!
expect you've already done some of it tho:T
only other thing ive been doing is the mobile phone thing (see previous posts) worth doing a couple of times to get quidco cashback if u can find cheap phones at boot sales.

Exactly!!

Same as me. First time in my life though im not out of money at this point in the month... feels very strange to know that I have money for food etc. until i get paid again! :rotfl:

moneymabel

Scary hey? still spose we better get used to it for when we are debt free :j

Well done Amy, that’s brilliant. Bet your feeling great at the moment, the cards have gone and you can work towards getting your own place!!!

I know what you mean about spending every month waiting until payday. I remember last year when I couldn’t wait until payday because I wanted to go out and buy this new outfit I’d seen, now its I can’t wait to pay some more off my debt and update my signature!!

**Amy**

Haha... im sure i could get used to it MM... you know, if i HAVE to! :rotfl:

:hello: Hayley!

Yep im exactly the same, i keep checking my bank and ebay to see if i can update my signature with anything! Roll on 30th when i will updating loads (hoepfully :beer: )
