I would be interested to do this, although I'm in a euro country, so the exchange rate may make the competition element a little complicated! Maybe I could do a little challenge all of my own.0

I've started my challenge off this morning with depositing £10 into the scratchcards, playing and won 10p, withdrew the £10. Off to a start.0

Just a question, I'm planning to make stuff, can I use materials in my stash or can I only use stuff I've purchased with my £10? (Just want to be clear before I start, don't want to feel like I've cheated myself
) Joined & started entering comps 06/04/08 : Prizes won/Free stuff got: 2x Wicked Tickets (£120)
Asus EEE 4GB laptop (£220)
Jack Daniels Luggage Tag (£?) :cool:

I dont thin it counts Im afraid. YOu would need to invest your £10 in the entire materials needed. If it helps, try to imagine that you ONLY have the £10 to your name (excluding internet access, transport, heating etc). In order to make money you HAVE to do something with your £10 note. The crafty stuff you have was bought/acquired without your tenner so it cant count iyswim. :j:money: Saving money, saving the environment and saving space (aka decluttering) - my motto this year!0 -
OK. I bought a kids book for 99p today so am going to flog it on ebay - hoping to make a clear £1 profit...(minus P+P, all fees, original 99p):money: Saving money, saving the environment and saving space (aka decluttering) - my motto this year!0

I thought that was the case, but just wanted to make sure! Here's to multiplying money in the new year!

Is there still time for me to join in.
Can your moneymaker be a joint/family effort ? (but only count your own portion and not joint totals for this challenge).
All my trades or efforts would not be group efforts....
HAPPY NEW YEAR0 -
