    First Anniversary First Post Name Dropper Xmas Saver!
    Hi all

    Got 25% of my food at a local curry house last night, got a free coffee with my costa points (wombled a receipt whilst there) and cashed out £45 from eBay from selling unwanted Christmas gifts.

    Feeling happy I've tipped over my 1% now.

    Well done to you all, you’re doing really well with your 1%s. Huge well done to A Random Man for getting to 80%, that’s a fantastic achievement.

    I’ve had a few of my DDs come out, as well as a few extra payments, so I am currently at 3% paid.

    Thanks adventure wanted i was so sick of seeing it there i decided to get rid of it :), now that i have cleared to majority of the credit card i also want to focus on paying my loan off so i may update on the loan as well as cc's.

    The only downside is that my car needed repairs so i put the repairs on cc, i still plan to clear this as it is 0% interest deal until next year however my overall percentage has gone down however i am still declaring today:

    Number 7 checking in. I have made £21 so far by not having coffee for a week and a half. This week I am going a step further in taking my lunch every day. I usually spent £15 a week at lunchtimes and another £2.20 on a coffee. I'm keeping my Monday and Friday coffees but hoping to have another £21.60 by the end of next week.

    #6 checking in with another 2%

    taking me to 4%

    Still not really off the staring block as neither of us have been paid! I've got £15 in nectar points which I'll use for shopping and put the cash in the pot.

    I've also got a couple of bits on fleabay and a few more to go.
