5 hours overtime this week, also I can claim 2 x lunches, (something I would never normally bother with - this challenge has put me in the right mind set!!). Do people wait until they are paid and have the money in the bank before counting it?
Note to self - must start e baying!
Good luck to everyone x

Good morning everyone, welcome Countthepennies and Fairyshazza.

Challenger list is now up to date.

Well done to everyone who is having some success selling, I wish I couls sell something but my luck is never in when listing and it's very time consuming, especially whilst trying to keep up with all the threads and challenges on MSE. That's my excuse for still only having reached £10.

Balances can be updated however and whenever you want, as long as it is genuinely going towards the extra money that's paying off a debt or going towards the savings for something if the debt has all gone. I'm just trusting that everyone here is genuinely clearing debts or saving their money, rather than running up debts. I have faith in MSE getting its point across to whoever reads it, though.

I may switch my eBid listings to eBay and see how they go.

I have made absolutely nothing so far, so doing even worse than our esteemed leader, but I did just come back from holiday. Tonight's job - list on ebay. Job for now, re-activate amazon and greenmetropolis sites so my books are back on the 'shelf'.

Hi All,

Well i listed lots of items on ebay before i went off on my jollies to Oxford so came back last night to a nice surprise and £141 more to my earn £1000 in a 100 days. i have also sold another book on greenmetropolis and secured another 3 mystery shops so it is all adding up :T

I am also registered with my local NCT and i am going to sell some items at the next nearly new sale in September so that will go in the pot. keep up the hard work everyone:D.

Hi Kerry,

I'm sure nykmedia will update her list when she gets time and of course you're welcome to tha challenge, sometimes it just takes time for people to reply, they may be working (like me) and can only check theads intemittently.

If you go to the first page and first post of this thread, there's plenty of advice how to get started on bringing extra money in.

Hope this helps. And welcome to MSE. :beer:

Hey Kerry!

Welcome, welcome, I am brand spanking newbie as well!:beer:

Just learning how to go for it from the others, managed to have a massive clear out so logged 44 books for sale already on the greenmetropolis website - much easier than amazon, and plenty to go on ebay this weekend! Plus got myself signed up for a couple of mystery shops this weekend so hopefully by Monday I might have some income to report. It a slow start but at least I feel like I am being proactive!

Good luck everyone!:rotfl:
