    money...... no rush on the info mate.... Babies come first! I have to ask, little boy or girl???

    Making me broody now...

    I can offer virtual ironing / cleaning services so sling your ironing this way!

    No mambury, no more babies...... Too bloody expensive!

    Mambury

    ooh, would love the virtual ironing ! To be honest I cant iron and I havent owned an iron for 10 years ! Terrible terrible mum :D As for cleaning - well I am a mum of 4, in control of 0. So I try to clean but it is a 24/7 job - I never win !

    I have 4 girls - 12,6,4 and 8 week old. I would have loved 6 girls but as all were caesarians I had to be sterilised with the last one. Ooops, TMI again.

    As for you selling things you dont have, I do it all the time :D I cant help myself. I used to sell second hand cars and I lost count of the number of times I 'sold' a car to someone before I had even picked it up. I just sold a boxset on Amazon that I hadnt received - luckily it turned up the same afternoon :eek: But it can be a bit hair raising, and I have had to do some apologising and partial refunds. I would prefer to have the goods in hand, but I cant help myself. I just sold one of my partners Xmas presents on ebay ! I bought it cheap, just had a little look on ebay to see what they were going for, wrapped it but advertised it too and thought if it sold I would unwrap it. It sold ! I had some grovelling to do with my partner who had seen it before I wrapped it.

    Please count me in, I have had my best run-up to Xmas on eBay (don't have a shop) since I've been on it over 8 years, selling over £700 of stuff over the past month just selling unwanted stuff and buying and selling and want to continue this into 2010. I have a whole room of c**p to get through and have a couple of other ideas for online trading. I would like to hit the £10,000 target as this would clear my debt. Do cashback earnings count as well and when is the definitive start date?

    The definitive start date is 1-1-10
    but..........
    if anyone has started already (which I know some have) great !
    You can count cashback earnings

    REMEMBER There are no rules :j

    I've had LOADS of private messages so please bear with me - I have a newborn and although it may look like I am online, more often than not I am signed in with the hope of having time to respond but in reality elbow deep in poo and vomit. Too Much Information? :rotfl:

    Here's to spending the next 374 days together !

    :beer:
    Aww I know the feeling! Mind you mine is now 6months old :eek: and sooo big lol. Sorry I go all gooey when someone talks babies - even if it is the icky poo and vomit part!!!

    I have so far been preparing myself for this challenge, and so far have applied for a new bank account to put all the money made from this challenge into and I have listed a couple of books on amazon. Not a huge amount I know but it makes me feel good to know I have made a start!

  • I will give it a go good luck to everyone
  • Not got time to read through the whole tread now as really need my bed but please add me in!!

    £100-£10,000 sounds like a brill idea, will hide it all away and plan a great suprise trip to my little sis in Aus for next christmas!!!

    Will be a mix of ebay, carboots, overtime and partylite wage so should manage it!!

    Thanks tons OP, love the idea and just what I need to get me motivated!!

    Has gone to play on her own little world for a bit..... but its ok the voices in her head came too so she's not alone ;)

    Can you please count me in, and I'll add this to my signature, to give me a bit more motivation :) great idea, hoping to get £100 from my dad for Christmas so what better way to use it! Have a 'spare' bank account that I opened for a mystery shop assignment so I'll use that. Was going to be all Old Style and use my Christmas money for bakeware but think Ebaying etc will be more profitable. I've got 8 grand of debt to get rid so will aim for that! Thanks everybody, already got some great ideas from here!
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.
