I've been away from this forum for a few days due to it being DS 1st bday and I had loads to catch up on. Thanks to the free ebay listing day I made £38 but just have to post it now and see how much to take off for that - plus mum and I split all earnings via ebay as we always sell our stuff together but still I sold all random bits that I had been given so all good. Apparently it's only 5p to list an item from tomorrow so I think i'll put some more on. Also made £30 selling some old gold I had and have been paid £62 from one of the market research companies I work for. I spent £20 on all the visits so made £42 profit. Will update my signature soon.0

Keep up the good work, well done on debt overpayments and well done on all the savings. Not doing too well here as I just don't know how to generate 'new' money that isn't allocated anywhere else. Added the paultry £4 from auction sales and there's still no sign of my Ciao payment nearly a month after requesting it. I'll just need to keep my fingers crossed that I have a win of some sort that actually lets me withdraw the cash. But there are still another 63 days to go before the end of the challenge
I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.

another £5.57 from matched betting added to my total
i've joined another bookie this evening, so should have some more to add soon 
when i started this challenge, i thought it was impossible and that i'd never manage it - i was just hoping to make a little bit of extra money, helped along by support on this thread and the extra motivation that being part of a challenge provided. if i'm honest, i never thought i'd actually make the full £1000. but i'm already past the half way mark and i'm starting to think i might actually do it!0 -
I know I only posted 5-days ago to say I'd reached the £400 mark... well I've not reached £600 due to selling some large items and also a £50 win :j:j:j Must update my sig.
Things will be slow from here on in as I have hardly anything left to sell. Actually I said that weeks ago... but I still managed to find more stuff...
Hope you're all doing well x0 -
I have made about 7 quid on e bay.
Once the five pence listing days start up again I shall list more.
take care all
