I personally disagree. If you have managed to read a reasonable amount of the thread, you will see a community being built and also you might note a number of people finding budies and forming small groups via chatting to each other. A lot of the chat from these people will move off to PMs or MSN messenger contact or meet ups in cafes for those close to each other. This is all positive and over time the thread will settle down to it's own rythm ... personally I will miss some of the chat of the people who are off to their little groups as within it there will be plenty of ideas and some useful motivation. I hope they pop in regularly even if just to say hello .

Who knows what will come of some of these alliances once people realise their complementary skills ... new businesses and enterprising schemes may be formed that none of the people involved could have possibly achieved alone. Anyway, good luck with the challenge and I hope to bump into lots of positive achievements and updates from you over the coming year

I agree totally eyesparky......well said!

I find that the chat element adds fun to the challenge and keeps me motivated. Besides, a member's family and work situation IS relevant - knowing what they have to work round makes it easier to give suitable ideas.

Knowing how many kids someone has etc is not relevant to the thread. Nice thoughts but there are over 250 members if everyone wrote their daily goings on the whole sysem would collapse. Posting about how, where etc you think you can achieve your goal, asking for ideas help etc thats great. People having 'personal' chats between themselves is not at all helpful to anyone and just blocks the thread up. PM should be used for that.
Maybe OP could have thoughts on this at it was his idea. But for example how about limiting posts to once a week to give an update on how one has got on? Plus of course any that need advice at any other time.

HTH:)

I agree. I have to say I like to get to know people and I find that knowing more about a person's story makes it all the more inspiring. It's nice to know that it's not a thread full of business men but 'normal' people working hard to better themselves or their situation. There are lots of threads on the forum dedicated to pure money making so I don't really think it creates any problems people chatting on here. I think if anything the chat on this thread is more important than the ideas.....all in my humble opinion of course xxx

Ebay is going badly for me 1 item not paid for yet (4 days after auction has ended) another one refunded after item did not turn up, I then discovered that a few days later it had been signed for, now trying to get the user to send the item back or pay for it. I put non payment strike via the ebay resolution centre, now it is saying that the strike has been removed? Grr the buyer has all the rights on ebay even if they are screwing the seller over.

ok, can someone help me please. Got a sack full of odd pillowcases in coordinating colours and patterns yesterday from charity shop for 50p and today I have found in Wilkinsons snow blankets for 75p. Can I turn them into quilted blankets? and are they saleable? Was thinking of using snow blanket as the padded middle. Also picked up a sack load of gifts with 75% off along with christmas lights and LED snowmen. Hope to resell next Xmas but 5 carrier bags and one double buggy slightly overloaded later, the reciept says Total savings £45.17 Total to pay £17.08. Long investment to put inital stake in, but worth it I hope!

You would think with all the snow etc. that people would understand delays in delivery but sometimes it needs spelling out in a polite email when people are unhappy with delivery times. Some people really just don't get it until it is explained to them, then they are often happy as ... strange but true . Hope it all gets resolved ... the little set backs make the victories all the sweeter .

thats always a problem on ebay, if the guy ses it hasnt arrived dont believe him make sure you check royal mail first, get a refund from them if you can then sort it out with the seller, to cover myself i always state on my listings its not my responsibility if an item in the post gets lost if they chose the free 2nd class option i then list a second option of 1st class recorded for about £1.50 more, it saves alot of hassle with phony buyers.:T
