    Don't touch Bingon either. Really poor bingo winnings (like £2.64 for a full house), you can't withdraw under £30 and it costs you £5 in admin charges to make a withdrawl. Bu88er that!

    Well I have just been busy going through the house trying to find things to put on ebay and seem to have collected quite a bit of stuff... It won't make loads of cash I don't think but every little helps towards the target!

    Still undecided though whether to sell my clothes as individual items or bundles... Any thoughts?

    Keep up the positivity peeps! :j

    Have just saved 20% off our sky package for next six months so at £8.20 per month that is £49.60 into the pot to be better off by 10k by end of year. Also bidding on ebay listings is starting to take off. Told sky had to review finances and maybe look at reducing or cancelling as the increase in VAT will have an effect on our already tight budget - couldn't have been nicer! worth a try.:T
    keep going every mickle makes a muckle as they say up here!! ~(or every small adds to gether to make a big bit!)

    Personally i'd sell them singley unless you have two or three thinge very similar then bundle them up but I think if I saw an item I liked but it was with something I didn't like it would put me off making a good offer, that's just my opinion though

    Hi-this thread is brill can I join please?!! Did alright from Bingo britain this morning, won a tenner on bingo (which is now useless due to their withdrawal limits) so thought I'd try the scratchcards, did a £5 one and won £50 :-) If they hadn't changed their rules I'd have only withdrawn my tenner so serves 'em right lol
    Have invested in a few things to sell on ebay so am up and running. thought I saw a wholesale site on this thread that someone recommended but I've read all the way through and can't find it. It wasn't DhGate, anyone have any idea?

    Monkeyjen - I'd sell them singly

    tommymcn - I'd go for it, you could start selling them Sept/ Oct in plenty of timefor Christmas

    Just started deluttering DS1 and DS2's bedrooms - 2 bin bags of rubbish, 1 for the charity shop and 4 /5 bags worth in the loft already thing I'll start with a car boot for them as I'll be there forever listing them all, POTC megabloks set, ben 10 etc the list goes on and on, don't even want to think how much its all coast over the years, DS1 just said as long as I don't put any lego in the loft he's not bothered (obviously its only going in the loft to free up space;) no where else- they'll soon forget about it)

    Just a suggestion for those who may be interested in matched betting or just for a chance to win a bit of money, I have just deposited £10 in Betfair via Fat Cheese which pays £10 cashback for joining and depositing £10. I have placed a bet on a football match this afternoon (end score to be 2 goals or less in the Liverpool game, please keep your fingers crossed! ;) ) and if I win I make £11.60 profit. If I lose Betfair will refund my £10 bet, I will gain nothing but I will be £10 up through Fat Cheese cashback, but if I win I will be £21.60 in profit, its not loads of money but it all adds up and I am thinking of then going on to try some matched betting...
    Hope that helps someone get a little closer to their £10k target!
