    Ok iv decided to give it a go! Im going to raid the local but very busy carboot thats on near where i stay every Sunday morning with whatever i buy to get put on ebay that very same afternoon. I think in terms of clothes(the only thing iv sold on ebay so far) if i was to be strict and haggle as much as i can i could do alot with £100. £10,000 seems alot but the pennys will soon make pounds and with alot of hard work and deals i think i can do it. First car boot will be Sunday the 3rd of January. Il get myself a little notepad and got plenty of little bookies pens i could use to note down every single expense. Even if i fell short of this, reaching £5000 even would be amazing as im not going to spend it or use it as i simply dont need it yet. Every penny i make out of this im going to save. Is there any "savings" accounts that have a cashpoint card? So i could keep this money in a seperate account from my wages and direct debits etc? Getting excited now! Would it be cheating if i started off by selling some of my own wardrobe that i didnt use the £100 to get? Good luck all.
    Work in progress...Update coming July 2012.

    I'm up for this :j 10k would be handy for my house deposit fund!!

    Hopefully will be a part qualified beautician soon (doing an evening course so unfortunately will take 2 years) so maybe make a bit of extra on the "side" (don't worry I have student insurance and I am registered as self employed!!)

    have got the chance to increase hours at work a bit ~(worth £150 or so a month)would this count? have started baking for friends, doing ebay, not sure what else i could turn my hand to think £10k probably a bit hopeful but am willing to give it a shot as anything extra would be great, but i would have to make it a household challenge - "madhouse moneymakers"
    have probably spent nearly £100 on baking things this past couple of weeks - ingredients, tins, icings, bits and pieces like cutters, levellers, etc so would i be able to count all of these things i plan on doing? if so count me in

    The amounts I stated are purely a guideline or target,however much you want to make is up to you.If you need any motivation,the one and only bit of advice I will give you is:

    Ditto! I'll have to settle for turning a tenner into a grand. :confused:
