Laura Jones, 26 from London is attempting to clear £10,000 of debt in 365 days, with the help of her website - www.onegirloneyear.co.uk
[UKPRwire, Tue Feb 28 2006] Laura Jones, 26 from London is on a mission to make £10,000 in a year to pay off all her debts, with the help of her website - www.onegirloneyear.co.uk
For the past 6 months she has been asking people for ideas and advice on how to make the money and is slowly working on getting closer to her debt-free goal.
“The response so far has been great and I’m open to trying out as many ideas as possible. Being in debt is such a horrible situation, so to see the amount I owe slowly decreasing is a fantastic feeling”
It all began last August when she finally totalled up her debt and admitted the amount to her boyfriend. Their plans to get married and buy a house suddenly seemed quite a long way off…
“I felt really ashamed that my debt would hold us back, so decided to do something about it. I jokingly told my boyfriend that I could pay it all off in a year and his words ‘I bet you couldn’t….’ stayed with me. I like a challenge, so decided to go for it”
But the clock is ticking… She now has under 6 months left to make over £8500
Through her website so far she has:
• Sold advertising space, badges, Sudoku pencils
• Learnt about property, buying oil and how to play poker
• Sold pictures of her old shoes to people that like that sort of thing!
• Done psychological experiments, babysat and leafleted for money
• Received hundreds of emails ranging from the practical to the perverse
With less than 6 months left, it can only get more exciting!
She needs all the help she can get....
