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 challengeI 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
