    Turns out the OH isn't very happy with me selling underwear to some oddball on the web, even if I do put them on the dog and don't actually wear them myself. No £20 for me then, nevermind.

    Ooh I need to think of this weeks challenge.... urm... we've done diaries, meal plans, eating out of food and cupboards, urm.... what shall we have next...

    Ah I know...

    Mini Challenge 30/01/2012 - 06/01/2012: declutter yourself
    Now the sales are over and the unwanted xmas pressies have been flogged, let's get some fleabaying on the go. This weeks mini challenge is to sort through and photograph items for fleabay. Then try to list at least 1 thing a day. You can list up to 100 items a month at 99p for free. Don't forget to price your postage accurately, I normally weigh all my items then add on 50-75p to cover the cost of packaging. This also means that if I weigh an item inaccurately I've got a bit spare just in case.
    Enjoy!

    Yay for mini challenge :) I need to do lots more, just realised I took loads of pics of stuff I wanted to sell and have since deleted them... what an egg!

    Just seen that I am in the belly busting gang as well as the debt one...

    6lb/46lb for me so far :)

    You've read my mind! :D It's my mission this week to pick up my old FLYlady habits and get my house clean, and the idea was to end the week with a big fleabay session. I will have to play catch up at the weekend then...

    Thanks Kerri. x

    Haha, you could've turned it into a successful business with that mark-up! And here lies the shady side of debt clearance...

    Afternoon all,

    Bit of an MSE dilemma! Had a good weekend all paid for to celebrate a friends birthday, we have come back at a silly hour last night to discover the dryer has once again died! We have spent nearly £100 on parts over the last two years and only fixed it 5 months ago! I've some money left over so a bit of advice do I use the money I have left over to use on the dryer or go for spare parts again!

    Oh just a quick update as well No 149 new total is £4544.87

    Need to work out now what else I throw to clear a lot more off this month!

    Just a sub thought that came up this weekend, has anyone else noticed people turning to alternative means to supplement their income. Not always the most legit methods either!

    I'm not going to start walking the streets ;) Although I have now dreamed up a website design for flogging knickers to weirdos. I'm not going to do it though.
