I have found my £50 worth of stuff to put on Ebay tomorrow night and it is all photographed and ready to go.
It wasn't easy to find stuff and I'm not sure if I will get £50 for it all or not. I don't know what I am going to do next week as I am really running out of stuff. I'm hoping that I can get some Amazon vouchers on Bingoport as this will really help me out if I can sell these. I'm working on that at the moment and am trying to rebuild what I lost on there today.

Emily can I just give you a big :T :T :T .
You are so unbelievably motivated and are an inspiration. Keep up the good work but please don't let it take over your whole life. :beer:0 -
Well I managed to get enough points again on Bingoport for a £5 voucher and am on my way to another one already. I'm going to try to get to £10 at least by the end of the day.
I've just seen on there too that you can only redeem up to 2 £5 vouchers each week now. That's going to stuff up my plans :rolleyes: . There's also no option there for a £10 voucher either. Oh well, will get to the £10 and then have to think of something else I can list on Ebay.

Morning all
I listed all of my items last night and am pleased to say that one has already sold for £5.
I'm really going to struggle next week for £50 worth of stuff. I'm nearly at the payout for another £5 Amazon voucher so will only have to find £40 worth of items though.
I've put another penny in my change jar so up to £4.07 now. I've got a mystery shop to do tonight and another on Wednesday.
Must get ready for work.

Well I'm up to £8 on Ebay sales/bidding so far. Only £42 to go by Sunday!! Unfortunately Ebay took one of my listings off as it was 'against policy' even though it clearly wasn't!! I have sent a shirty email and will relist tomorrow night.
I've redeemed a £10 amazon voucher on Bingoport so I will list these as soon as they come through. I thought as well that it will be possible for me to get some next week too and then this £10 can count towards my target too.
I've just done my mystery shop and had a £5 spend which I have used to buy a cheap Xbox 360 game. I will list this tomorrow night too. I thought there is no point in waiting until Sunday, the sooner I sell it, the sooner I get my money.
My change pot is up to £4.24 so nearly halfway there. I thought that another way I could save is to put £1 a day in my change jar. Doing this, by the end of the month I will have another £20 towards the £250.
So, theoretically I've got or will have:
£30 - Change pot
£66 - Mystery shopping
£100 - Ebay
£20 - Hutch
This leaves me with £34 to find IF all my mystery shopping money pays out in time and IF I can find and sell £100 worth of stuff on Ebay.
I'm off to think of a genius idea to get the extra £34

I have found enough to list on Ebay now :j
.
Fingers crossed that it all sells. I will list the rest of it tomorrow for 5 days.
Still not sure about the other £34 but at least that isn't too much to find.

I was thinking about selling vouchers on E bay, I am never going to use them is it allowed? or the free sim cards you can get? or are they not for re sale?
sorry to just randomly butt in, got the vets bill and it has stuck a large spanner in the Feb payment plan.
off to ponder, good luck Ehallett looking good so far heyxxxNevertheless she persisted.0 -

Thank you
I have often sold vouchers on Ebay when I used to win them in competitions. As long as the voucher is for a well known shop, you get pretty much the face value for it. Especially lower amounts. I sold a £5 Amazon voucher on there the other week for £5. I think it's ok to sell sim cards on there too but there are so many people doing it, I believe that Ebay is swamped with them. Worth a try though if you bundled a load together?
