£1000 in 100 Days, 22nd Sept - 31st Dec 2008

bails

Ooh, hopefully good things happening today! I've just signed up for the A&L account and been approved :T so that's £100 plus £50 from Quidco (if it tracks, a little dubious due to t&cs :rolleyes:) plus, if my OH gets an account too I can get another £25 for referring him!! I've also applied for a cashback credit card which'll be £40 cashback if I get it, although not holding out much hope due to my situation (disabled). Happy days if it all works out :j

Still not listed anything on Ebay yet...

Ah well, at least we'll going down trying SF! Why not do what I did?^ That's at least 10% of your target straight off.

Oh Bails, what did you do?? I'm off to have a nose....

I won the lottery :j am practicing for the big win, so have added £10 to my total, now at £56.25.

Added one item to ebay, had no enthusiasm so left the rest, hangs head in shame

At least you posted something Piquant Did you see what I did, the A&L account in this week's email?

Piquant_2

No Bails I didn't see that, but I have started looking for your posts 'cos they're making me smile!

I'm lacking all motivation for listing on ebay, I have cupboards that won't close but can't see anything to sell - aarrgg what's wrong with me....

It's called Hoarditis Piquant and is surprisingly common *stands in front of huge piles of extremely useful stuff :whistle:*
I actually have lots of things I really don't want but can't face listing them I think it's the photos that put me off, but if it wasn't that it'd proabably be something else :rotfl:My friend Missy does it over several days, taking the photos one day, writing the blurb another day and then listing them on the last day.
I applied for the A&L account mentioned in today's email, £100 for signing up (NB you have to let them move your DDs across - they do all this for you - to get the £100 but you could just use an account where you don't have any set up ).

Oh no I've got an acute case of Hoarditis! could it be terminal? :rotfl:

I hate taking the photos, I always manage to get the lighting wrong and as for writing the blurb...I also find it faintly embarrassing to be selling my junk, not sure why I feel like this!

I've already got an A&L account, watch out for the credit card that comes with it. Fantastic offer of 0% transfers, which I did, but didn't clear the balance and am now stuck with a balance that earns them 34.9%:eek: All my spare cash is thrown at this, the daily payment challenge and this one all help.

Another £2.75-ish to add from selling junk... just need to package it up and work out how much postage is going to be!
