  • total now at £18.66, should really be at £35ish eaks. All of that is from ebay! I lack motivation in doing anything else, it seems to take ages to build up and im inpatient whereas ebay is soooo quick (usually!) .. im so rubbish! N'Oh well, better get listing ..

    New to this site and just spotted this thread - what a great idea!
    I'd love to join in for December if possible, I know I'm a bit late though. Going to aim for £10/day!

    Friday 4th Dec - £83.79 ebay sales
    Sun 6th Dec - £10.09 ebay sales
    Mon 7th Dec - £0.99 ebay sales
    So all in all £94.87/£310 so far not bad!

    I was also given £90 by a very generous family member but if I include this it will give me an unfair advantage & no motivation to keep going as I'll be close to my target!!
    November 2018 make £10/day - £21/£300

    Hi everyone :hello:

    Hope you're all ok. I'm sorry, I've still not had chance to read through the thread from the start, I will try and do it tomorrow night- I'll not get chance tonight now.

    We lost Dh's Grandad very early Friday morning, so everything is a bit up in the air at the minute and alot of the small things are a struggle. They were very close even though we're 150miles away so it's hit us quite hard.
    I wont go into detail on here, but we're just glad that he wasn't in pain and his illness took him quite quickly in the end. That's the only saving grace in all of this.

    So, now I need to keep my mind busy to save myself going mental. So I'll no doubt ge on all your nerves being on here loads :o

    Right, doing well so far- DH got £200 commision cheque today which came as a pleasant suprise as we were expecting more like £100, and thought that was ambitious. :j My effort is quite piddley in comparison, £10 m/s. :rolleyes: Hey ho, all adds up.

    Upping my total aswell cos I've decided that £400 was never a realistic amount, so going to aim for £600 over Dec-Jan. (Hoping to go away w/c 11 Jan though so this target is actually between now and then)

  • Spent all day yesterday ebaying my last lot of stuff for this year. They end next weekend and then thats it. I'm clearing everything out of my living room ready for crimbo decs and tree. I've had loads of bids today so I'm really hopeful for a good amount from ebay sales this month. This challenge has been so good for me. It keeps me focussed on what I need to do and I love reading this thread to find out how everyone else is doing. Thanks to everyone for inspiration!
  • Wrote my post above before updating myself on last few posts. :o Sorry to hear your news sweetpeas. Stay strong. x
