Hi Guys

After selling all the stuff I found around the house, my earnings slowed dramatically Have tried driving over to nearest big city which is where I do my grocery shopping, so I just left at 6.30am to get there in time to hit garage sales but didn't find much worth onselling.

So I have made little progress over the last three weeks or so. Am busy trying to sort out another pile off stuff to put online from Jan when I am back from holidays so hopefully things will pick up then.

Sounds like so many people still going strong so good luck to you!!! :T :T

Well done everyone, I'm kind of at a stand still again, although there are bits and pieces awaiting cashing-in from verious sites but nothing quite on target just yet. At worst, there'll be another £100 to come before the end of this month but free bingo has had to go; my Internet connection just isn't up to it any more. I may give it a try again this Thursday, just to see what happens.

Haven't posted for a while, been busy with 'life' things.
Have gathered up today a few more things to ebay but no way I'm going to do £1000, but will still try, its amazing how much extra money you can 'get' with a bit of effort.
I've been very impressed with many of you here and has given me ideas for next time. thank you
do feel a bit stuck though! but make to the ebay listing......

Hi Annie, I get stuck for making extra dosh but can usually think of ways of cutting down on spends to compensate - a penny saved, and all that...

Next year's challenge, for me, is going to be more about neutralising as many of my spends as possible. If I can't make, borrow, freecycle or grow the item, I'll need to earn back whatever it costs me. If I start the year with £1000 cash, I want to end the year with at least that amount so that every spend is cancelled out one by one. Making it £1000 every 100 days breaks it down into more manageable chunks, even although I am nowhere near reaching my first £1000 during this 100 days.

Next challenge:

Day #1 = 01/01/09
Day # 100 = 10/04/09 (Good Friday)
