Well done you guys! I'm not doing well at all - I just gave away another box of stuff - books and CDs that probably could be listed online but, but, but... that's my only (non) excuse.I reserve the right not to spend.

Frugal living challenge - living on little in 2025 while frugalling towards retirement.0 -
Hello All , Well im pleased to say this is my first time at this challenge, and im in still in high hopes that i manage it. I have lots of motivation for earning money layely as i have recently found im not getting as much income as i was a few weeks ago due to a debt catching up with me !! which to be honest isnt really ,my debt but my exes in my name}but well im just gonna get on with it and not bore you.
Things seem to be against me lately thow , as my earning/ saving money on the internet has come to a .very slow halt lately as my pc has got a bad virus which has effected alot of things, and ive borrowed my mates laptop that aint upto datye but works , so im making do for now. But cannot upload millions of pictures i have stored on my desktop onto the laptop for Ebay listings ,at the moment , so fingers crossed it will definately be all sorted before the end of this challenge.
So what my intention to do for this one is- Eventually list on Ebay
- Mystery shops although they dont seem to have any near me at the moment so sign up to more companies
- sign up for more scratch card sites
- Look a bit more into match Betting and give that a go
- Get more friends to buy online that do not have internet access so i can go through cash back sites
- continue doing surveys as often as i can and find more to sign up for{am doing}
- enter as many comps as i can !! am doing}
- go to more carboot sales in nice weather to purchase items to sell maybe on Ebay / Ebid
- Actually do a few car boot sales myself !! which will de- clutter my house too!!}
- Try my damned hardest to find someone to baysit at nightime so i can go back to my old part time job -where i can earn tips aswell!!
- Stay postitive that i might win the lottery one day and ill share it with you all!!!:j:j
So far i have earned :
-£40.00 from cigerettes my friend brought from holiday so i saved a tenner myself and sold the rest for £30 as i planned to stop !! still planning nowas ive not been successful}
-£20.00 from friend to cheer me up a last week {as i helped her out a while ago with something}
-£10.00 Amazon voucher from lightspeed surveys
-£3.30 Scartchies online
-69p Onepoll Surveys
So my total so far is £73.99 ..
Sorry for the long post !!!!..and good luck to everyone

Hi everyone, just a quick update from me, i've been ebaying like mad the last fortnight and have the grand total of £314.91 after fees etc. I have done 10 dooyoo reviews and have around £8 in bingo scratchcards. Going to take a break for a couple of days and then I'm going to start the ebaying again (finding stuff in the loft to sell - it's fab, I thought i was going to have to take it all to the tip, it's amazing what people will buy). Trying to talk OH into selling a model he has, i reckon we would get about £250 but he's not budging. mmmm i need to think of something....;)0
