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

Frugaldom

I've just checked my favourite cashback site and it's showing that I'll have over £10 ready for withdrawing at the end of this month. My G*mtree ads are still tracking, I have now run 20 different ads, including the one I listed this afternoon, so that should be £6 plus the £68 from the house insurance plus all my daily clicks. :beer: I'm also up to over 6000 points on a new one I joined, but it could take me a while to reach the minimum 10,000 points unless I find something else to join free with loads of points. At the end of this year, I'll add all my various bits and pieces together and whatever I have will be the amount I have to start my 'living on 4k' challenge in 2009. It should give me a couple of months' start at the least.

Re the turbolister on auction site - there's a forum specially for auction related questions, just do a search and you should find it. Sorry, I'm not a regular lister there, so I am no help whatsoever

Sorry I've been missing for a while, having a bit of a rough time at home with my Husband deciding to take up residance with someone else. However I have managed to change some coins in my cash tin which gave me £58 and have sold some other bits and pieces to friends to give me my current pathetic total.

I also managed to force myself to list 17 items on e*ay over the weekend and have bids on 3 of them giving me a total so far of £40 with several days left to go on the auctions. I'll hopefully add more listings over the week to all finish on Sunday to add to my current total

Sorry to hear your news! :eek:
However, I do know the feeling and can understand what it puts you through! Trust me, it gets better and it's much, much easier to budget once you're used to it. Where abouts are you in the southwest? Ayrshire or D&G? Maybe we are in the same region! :j
And your total isn't pathetic, don't worry about it, mine's only looking healthy-ish through sheer luck of a big saving on electricity bill and a £50 premium bonds win.

Edited in: Came to say I have added another £10 to my total as the free bingo winnings have paid out. Still awaiting the arrival of Ciao cash but email says it should be in bank this week.

Hallooo all, been sooo busy so haven't checked in. Imagine my surprise when I do to find that some people have already hit the target!! (green with jealousy!!)

Seriously, well done to you guys, and everyone else who seem to be doing so well!

Mainly eBay stuff here, although I had another couple of coin-finding episodes (found some in a corner of my bag which had been sealed together with chewing gum eeuwwh, and found lots in my swimming bag)!

Anyway, sold 14 items which I am chuffed about - will never miss these items, and some of them have not seen the light of day for a couple of yrs now!

So:

Was £379.61

Add:
£22.20 eBay
£12 found in coins
£3.80 found in coins again!
£48.21 More eBay
=£86.21
Current total £465.82

Hey Trex, thanks for the info about proof reading. It looks right up my street, I am very anal about things like grammar and spelling (not here though :P ).. Had a ganders at your website - it looks really well organised and very professional. Not sure if I have the discipline to create and maintain something like that, but tutoring and proof reading are 2 things that I'm really interested in (for the future, when I have kids etc)

Will send you a pm when I have sorted out what I would like to know if thats ok! Thanks
