    I've sold and been paid for, another item on ebay. So can add another £20 to my running total. Have got bids on another 4 items that will finish later this week.

    Will carry on clearing out the cupboards....

    Left my weekend pub job yesterday, and starting a new one tonight (3 evenings a week) only problem is I will now be paid monthly instead of after every shift, so don't know how I'm going to find another £90 for this months challenge. One ebay item has a bid and watchers on a few others but am going to struggle I think. Although I have another Avon order to do next week, so I will think positive!

    I really have to achieve my target this month - the lodger's gone and there's jsut me now so I have FULL control over my household spend - nevertheless, it's going to be tight! Especially with £215 dental treatment to pay for in the month! EEK!

    12 days til payday - gonna have to eat from the freezer and take lunches to work every day. Real killer is going to be diesel although it's down to 116.9p here in Nelson. Hoping the new tax bandings will help ease the pressure.

    Going for a NSD today though.....watch this space!

    £28 added for me from ebay and surveys.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    You all seem to be doing really well selling things on ebay, if you dont mind me asking what sort of things are you selling?

    Anything that isn't nailed down ;).

    Seriously though, anything that hasn't been worn or isn't going to be worn, cd's/dvd's we've tired off and general clutter. Its amazing how much clutter "everyone" has.

    ^My sentiments exactly!!! I didn't realise I had so much, and I keep finding more the further I delve into my wardrobes. I am happy even if I get £1 for something -- it's all adds up!

    I have officially SMASHED my £300 target for this month, as I won £500 today :jI feel like I'm cheating by adding it, I'm still going to try to get my original £300 so my target for this month is now £800!
