Well done JenJade, sounds like you have been very busy! :beer:

Re: The laptop, do you have to pay the grant back? If you do then sell the laptop, maybe you should check that they dont own it before you sell it (IYSWIM).

Just got back from seeing Indiana Jones (twas very good, and Harrison Ford still has a sexy smile :rotfl: ), and the 3 items that were ending today have all sold, which is fab. Just waiting for them to pay now :rolleyes: And 2 other items have also sold, which im chuffed about.

Just about to join some survey sites now, see if i can earn some extra pennies.

hi amy.
i don;t have to pay anything back on the laptop.. i own it now should sell it??
i have been busy and there was no one to chat to..
i have about 5 items finishing on e bay within the next few hour and no bids on any of them. it really puts me of when i put the time in and get nothing back. i have 19 items on e bay and only 2 have bids!!

did you get what you wanted for your e bay items?
what survey sites do you do?

jenjade

amy do you want to join me and moneymabel and work out how much extra you need to make a month to pay you debt off by 2009!! it is very motervating.

moneymabel

hi all- blimey jen you have been busy! Good idea to post your daily ideas on here and that's no prob at all, I'm just glad people want to use this thread at all! As for laptop, I would say as long as they dont want it back then its yours to do what u want with so go for it!
As far as I know hs web and kelkoo are only daily clicks on quidco . Still really narked that lotto24 hasnt tracked , will start an enquiry on 5th June for that.
Well done on ebay sales amy youve been busy too!
quiet day today, no money made, waiting for payday on Friday so I know exactly where I stand on monthly added money I need to find- at the mo its £83 but if I can pay any extra out of wages it could be a bit less- hopefully!

hi Jenjade

Righto will just work out how much i need extra a month...

hmmmmmmmmm i need about £600-700 extra a month to be completly debt free by the end of 2008! :eek: I have a small feeling that wont be happening!! :rotfl:

I know i will pay off my credit card and loan by the end of the year, but my mum may have to wait until 2009! :rolleyes:

I didnt get what i wanted for 1 of the items, but at least it sold! :beer:

jenjade

i have had the most mental day on qiudco... done 2 compare site daily clicks a savings aco!!!!, and 2 credit card think i will avoid the finace section for a bit

**Amy**

Feel very odd now i know i wont be debt free this year!! :rolleyes: I know i will get there, but had my heart on saving for a house in 2009....

How silly... i know my mum wont demand the money back, and i could probably save 1/2 and give 1/2 to her, but you know when you want something so much you could burst?? :rotfl: And im so impatient!

moneymabel

how much of your debt is credit cards and how much to your mum amy? I know what u mean I am soooo impatient.please dont be too disheartened, you will be interest paying debt free by 2009 and perhaps some extra to pay your mum a bit too, we can start another thread for next year as all of us want to save for something , we can all support each other in saving , whether its for debts, houses or cars makes no difference.

Thanks jen just realised I hadn't done compare the market £2 excellent!!
and well done on your lloyds savings, interest will be a good start for your savings next year.
