    Well, not a bad few weeks for me. Was able to transfer £50 from my paypal account from some ebay sales with more to come hopefully! Received a £10 pigsback voucher, probably the last one ever. :rolleyes: And £10 of postal orders for ebay sales banked too! Total so far is now £322.91 :j

    Finally made it over halfway thanks to a big Quidco payout and some MBing! Need to get a move one to achieve the target though
  • I have £85.04 to add from ebay sales:D

    Just updated our grand total and we have raised.....

    £11045.42:T :T :T

    can anyone who hasn't updated their sig or whose total I have wrong please PM me so I can update the grand total.

    I will be doing the final total on either 13th or 14th of Dec just before the challenge ends as I am away on the 15 for about 5 days.

  • Right, I've updated mine to show the £48 I made on Ebay yesterday with some clothes I was literally going to take to the charity shop;
    Not yet updated it with the £52 I made yesterday for being an external examiner - I'll wait until that money is safe in my account!
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    Ooops sorry, keep on forgetting to update MM. My total to date is on my signature - hoping to make up the difference in eBay sales and MBing.

    Off to do some listing now.
