Ooh, can I join this? Every little helps, I've sold a few bits since the 20th so I'll count them plus so much to sell... let's see if I make it!

Thought I'd add... sold Sky+ box for 72, £2 on postage as I used recycled boxes, refunded £72 via Visa chargeback as my salon closed down without warning. Can't think of anything else yet, but will get cracking!Foreign politicians often zing stereotypical tunes, mayday, mayday, Venezuela, neck

Well done, Lola! I had some luck with those sorts of things last year but have used up all my chances of freebie money via that type of route - think I've joined just about everything now and tried everything except the match betting, as I had no free bet money anywhere.
Added £20 to my tiny pot for sale of some chickens.
Hi Zara*Alise, welcome to the challenge, I've added your name to the challenger list and we now have 100 people who are trying this (or have tried and given up, who knows?) GOOD LUCKI reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.

Hmm, I'm running out of ideas now. Aside from eBay and greenmetropolis, where I've listed about 30 books I have no idea how else to raise some cash.
What's been sucessful for everyone? Any areas I'm missing?

Have you tried quidco? although they charge £5 a year membership, this only comes out after you have made it so if you don't they don't take it out- iyswim - you can get cashback on many regular stores but also 1p / 4p per day for looking and using particular websites and cashback for ordering SIM cards etc only a little bit of money but as they say - every little helps.7
I have listed on greenmetropolis but I have to say am not having much luck- have only sold one book in about a year!!!!!!0 -
Sold a few itsm on ebay, another £25 up, and keeping to my daily scratchies, won 50p the other day, £2.65 in the pot, hoping to get the tenner before the 100 days is up, DH is listing some more ebay items now, and we're planning a carboot in the next few weeks, maybe bank holiday!
Good luck allDebt free 11/05/11!

I'm up and running in this challenge now - just cashed out £5.21:rotfl:from a couple of cashback sites I use.
Have sorted out a few items for ebay also.0
