    Well done folks! :T

    I managed to list a whole 2 items on ebay today!:rolleyes: However I did go through one (of my many) wardrobes and pulled out lots of clothes that well lets just say I've out-grown! I've put them into a suitcase for the carboot when it starts up again at the end of Jan. I'm going to invest in a clothes rail as last time I took clothes they kept falling of my clothes horse!

    9p interest received today :rotfl:

    Also, I have sold some things on musicmagpie, which will be £8.95 to the total, but I'm not counting it until I get the cheque! The rest of the day is set aside for decluttering the house and listing things on Ebay/Amazon.

    *runs off to add 9p to signature*

  • Total so far
    Scratchcard £ 13
    Gift card £ 25
    Finders keepers £ 5.72
    Christmas money £ 50.00
    Budget savings £ 42.68
    £2 coins £140.00
    Sealed tin £ 50.60
    £327.00

    As you can probably guess I have opened my saving banks to start the new year. I will only count the money as it hits my account because I get too confused otherwise :o :rotfl:
    The budget savings are various things I have saved over a few months - money off coupons, carers tickets, family discount etc

    I may have to go up a level of the challenge later, but am trying to count "free" money only as this is for my "free" christmas challenge too. Hope that is ok

    Sold a DVD on Amazon today so after their fees (grrr) and postage costs, I'm putting it down as £3 made.
