£1000 in 100 Days: 11th April - 17th July 2009

Little_Chicken

Hi all. Listed about 20 things on da bay today - so that's something positive. Really need to stay focussed on this challenge as I start a new job tomorrow and I fear that may scupper my plans...

I have packaged up an old mobile which will get me £12 so I have added it to my sig.

Hello everyone and welcome to all returnees and newbies. I've updated post one and hope I haven't missed anyone out - just pm me if I have

I also do the 'sealed pot' and £2 savers but never have time to keep up with all the threads, however, none of that gets counted here as I'm only counting 'new' money for this. Can I use that as my excuse for failing to ever make it to the £1000?

£5.21 into my total today from egg money interest, using it for all my spending this year as the interest & cashback come in really handy long may they continue.

I now have 2 hens laying eggs, so I might make a few extra pennies from any excess eggs if DS doesn't keep eating them as fast as they're being laid. :rotfl:

Finding spare change in my road is impossible, unless a crazy delivery driver decided to throw his money out the window - I live along a single track road that leads to a dead end. Let's just say that a passing trade type business would not survive past its first day, so if anyone wants to buy any chicks, I'll swap them for spare change or a £2 coin so it counts in this challenge. :rotfl:

Ok, i'm making a start,I had a fiver instead of an easter egg, i had a clear out and am listing loads on Ebay, sold something today but i have no idea how to work the fee's out yet and i've listed some books on Amazon and sold two today, again i have no idea how much that will come too. Not alot i reckon!!!!!!

I found two pence in the street so that counts as well and i'm i may have a friend that will rent my spare room for a while ( fingers crossed )

Hope you are all doing well

Already sold a couple of things on da bay which I'm pleased with.....would like some mystery shops, but none are coming up. grrrrrrr!

Well done everyone, great to see you all making a start. I wish I could say the same thing! I can't do any mystery shopping at the moment cause I'm kinda car-less and my bingo thingys aren't quite up to payout limit. I'm not sure if I have anything worth ebaying either....somehow I don't think I'm gonna make it!!

FeeFee

Any room for a late - starter? Need all the motivation I can get to reach my DFB target

FrankieM, it isn't about the making it, it's about believing that it's possible, even when we aren't making it. :rotfl:

I've nothing left to eBid or eBay or Amazon or whatever, any clutter I have seems to get given away via freecycle or charity shop and my scratchcards aren't up to paying out yet, although I did win £1 on one this morning. I don't spend enough to earn enough cashback, so it comes in dribs and drabs and the £68 Asda promised for buying an insurance policy from them hasn't materialised after 6 months! :mad: That shouldn't be allowed, it's blatant lying if they say you get it and then you don't! (Must check, just in case it has arrived! )

Well done to all who knuckle down and list, it is definitely an art form I'm rubbish at.

Room renting sounds ideal, tax free from what I can gather, too. Well done on that if it works out.
