Hey all, how's it going for everyone so far? personally i was strugglnig to think of ways to start and unbeleibvably it's just fallen into my laps at the moment, someon e paid me back some money I was owed and had forgot about anf then I was given some as a gift so I'm up to £60. Sadly I'm sure the rest will be alot harder to come by

Morning,

I have had another bit of joy on this challenge - I come across a purse of euros that I had completely forgot about, put it together with the dollars I had to change back - £88.42 altogether so chuffed!

Added to my copper and 5ps amount that is 194.42 altogether. I haven't included the mobile phone recycle total until I get it into my account.

:j:j

No doubt this will be where it all come to a stand still!!!

For all the people who list things on Ebay, are these all items you have laying around at home? You all seem to list quite a lot. I'd like to do some ebaying but I'm a bit nervous as I've never done it, plus I don't think I have that much stuff.

Hi All,

Can I join please, I really need something to get myself kickstarted, am determined to drop this debt by the end of 2009, but at the moment the snowball tells me it will be mid 2010, I want to get it sorted before then!!

Hi,

yes the majority is stuff laid around, toys the kids have outgrown - though the house never seems to look any tidier:o

I'm hooked now though I do go through phases with it, my theory is the stuff you think won't sell is the stuff that goes for the most:rolleyes::rolleyes: Just give it a go, anything under 99p is free to list anyway so you won't get charged listing fees, just start off with a few bits and build up!!!

I've made £20.10p so far today -10p on scratchcard and £20 off my Nana (am I ok to count this????)

My first update - I am planning to update weekly iof that's ok?

This week I have
Made - £ 8.65

Received - £30
The money I have made is from scratch cards and surveys.
The money recieved is £30 Amazon voucher from a survey sites.

I have also claimed but not recieve £5 Amazon from B*ngo port and £11 from survey sites

My money made and money recieved will not be the same as some is bonuses etc but hoping to make the £1000 on both!
I also have some money to come from quidco and other survey sites over the 100 days and will hopefully find some things to ebay/car boot.

Edit - Have just checked my amazon account and found £65 in there - can I count that?

Hi All
Did a survey from Amazon today and got a £3 voucher for doing so, so added to my total with some more scratchcard winnings! £33.60

Welcome Dex, glad to have you on board, I've now added your name to the passenger list of HMS Letsmakesomedosh.

Glad to read of some successes so far and I'm pleased to say that I have made a start, at last! :j A whole £10 withdrawn from free scratchcards account, leaving 20p in there towards next lot. I have listed a couple of items on eBid but think I'm going to have to try eBay. I need to start cranking this up a gear as my 'everything else' spending is going to increase dramatically when I treat my hens & ducks to some nice new housing. (MUST earn more extra so I can spend more extra.)

Keep up the good work.

Can you please add me - if I am not doing a challenge I won't stick to it! Means I have to fess up if I get lazy!

Got £25 cash Friday from a research panel and £10 for a mystery shop on Thu. It's a start!

Thanks Lola! I had a sort through the wardrobe and found a few bits so I'm going to give it a go.

Haven't had anymore luck with the challenge but I've recently started doing a bit of extra work designing websites and I may have a paid job coming up - will this count?
