    Can I join in please too? I think I'll go for £5 a day though as I have 2 birthday parties to pay for, and a week in Tenby, caravan is paid for though!

    Have set myself the goal of listing at least 2 things a day on Ebay (have tons of stuff to get rid of) - already got 6 on, and have just listed 2 more today, and been photographing other things to go on later or tomorrow.
    Went rummaging in the back of the wardrobe and found 2 brand new pairs of shoes (I'm a former shoe-aholic :o ) so they're going on also. I don't even like them any more :o

    Hi everyone,
    I'm in again for July - £310.

    I managed to £426.95/£300 in June! Very pleased with that and I think it's only this thread that's inspiring me to keep plugging away. :)

    I can relate to that, I have a right job getting the clothes to hang right on the plastic dummy I use, it's one of those with no back, so I have to peg the clothes at the back to make them fit!!!

    Yup, it's one of those backless things. It has a "barbie" style shape too, she's the only thing that reminds me of THAT bodyshape :rotfl:

    Not so good news on the car front, it's free uplift :mad: don't know now if I should try sell it for spares (there's quite a few new/useful bits and pieces on it) would probably get about £50 for it, OR to strip it of all sellable pieces and get listing on ebay. Only problem there is I don't have a clue what half the pieces are and would have to have the boyfriend with me when I do it and he's super busy with work so who knows when it'd get done :confused:

    Eep!

    Well I have just renewed my car insurance with The Post Office - it comes into force on 21 July but because I noticed that the £50 cashback offer expires today I thought that I had better get in quick. As the money won't be paid until July then I am including it here.:j
