My Challenge: To Pay £1000 off Credit Cards

squealy

House sat and looked after my parents business whilst they were away. The generous souls stuffed a bit of money into my hand on their return.

Able to pay another £40 off the evil plastic card.

Hi squealy...just thought i would add my best wishes to your challenge...i am doing a similar thing myself...12 weeks to pay off 1k!! we must be mad:rolleyes:

anyway...i have started to sell things on amazon...i have started to thoroughly clean and declutter my house to see what else i can sell...i have also written a menu plan for the period and am trying to shave as much as possible off my grocery bill to put towards the card....i have a long way to go but decided that this would be the best way forward to do something about the things i have been putting off for years!!

Anyway...sorry for rambling but just wanted you to know that i'm travelling with you :rotfl: !! Good luck!!

Good luck Squealy. I have had a bit of luck with the bingo. won a little over £500 a few weeks ago on the free stuff Only problem is OH car went caboom a few days later and he needs transport so the winning went to buying him a cheapy auction run about. I'm positive about that tho because if I hadn't won that amount our debts would of increased and not stayed the same.

Think what i'm saying is don't feel bad if you need to use a little of what you raised for an emergency the overall effect is still positive.

BTW i'm doing slice the pie. i get 20-30 a month that way, I could probably manage more but i have a short attention span. I also use my search funds as my web search engine. It uses google. you only get pennies per search but the way i see it is i your be doingt it anyway so why not get paid a little.

There is a thread about it on the referals board or you can PM me and i will tell you all i know. I'm never sure how much i can mention outwith the designated thread.

Hi LP,

good win on the bingo! I had a bit of luck doing that this weekend also, but not quite to the tune of £500.

Still any win is good!
