DAY 50!
We are now halfway through our mini-make a grand in 100 days challenge and, suffice to say, I am nowhere near having made £500. Meanwhile, back on the ranch that is the MSE Forums, others are forgin ahead into their SECOND THOUSAND! :eek: That is BRILLIANT! It also depends on what cash you are counting, of course, and I'm only counting absolute extra free cash that isn't associated with work, so it is very, very slow, especially as I am the worst lister on this planet when it comes to eBid / eBay. In my defebce, my 'free money' is part of my cash neutral challenge and, for 2009, that must cover all miscellaneous and extra spending. On that note, I am in credit.
Keep up the good work for the second half of this challenge and, if you have just joined us, you could always do a practice run of making £500 in 50 days.I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.
