    I've made a fairly good start to this week too - have sold 2 mobile phones to Mazuma through Quidco, got my credit report through Quidco (which wasn't as bleak as I thought it would be!), I've listed 6 items on ebay so fingers crossed for them, and I've got some overtime at the weekend from one of my jobs, so looking good so far!:j

    On my list of things to do...still have to dig out any books that can go on ebay - I have hundreds of paperbacks and loads of uni textbooks to sort though for ebay-worthy stuff.

    Starting to think maybe I should have paced myself - don't want to burn out too soon...

    Just paid another £12.72 off the credit card from my Ebay sale. It was £22.72 but I used £10 to bag a £10 bonus from willhill.

    I so long for the day when I can do a challenge and have something nice to spend the money on instead of debts :rolleyes:

    O/t a little but did anyone see the Tonight programme last night on ITV1 at 8? The reporter has to live off no money for a fortnight. Was really interesting and continues on Friday. :j

    OK - so I think I may have officially lost my marbles :confused::p:o

    My total is now -£177.71 :eek::eek::rotfl::eek::eek:

    My local woolworths was closing and I went mad and bought sooooooooo much stuff to ebay that I can barely move in the house and now have to sit here for hours putting it all on!!! I reckon I got about £800+ worth of stuff so am hoping to sell for a total of at least £500 clearing over £300 profit but .... so much work to do now :rolleyes: ... well not right now cos camera batteries are dead :o

    Avon sales are doing well but haven't started advertising translation properly.

    I think everything's just going to have to be put on hold while I ebay like a mad woman - I have a grand total of 84 things to list :eek:

    Hi,

    I've listed loads on ebay. I did think of waiting for a cheap listing day but couldn't bear the thought of everything hanging round the house longer than necessary so have just gone for it. I have done a few group lots to cut down the amount of listings ... so fingers and toes crossed :D

    How's everyone else doing?
