hi all

thanks

its far easier on gumtree.com, no fees and it's just a big box to type into!

Motivation is the problem for most folks inc myself but once you see money coming in, that all changes!

I haven't got £100 spare to invest so I'm aiming to make as much as possible by selling things, mystery shopping, cashback etc. I'll only update figures once I get the money.

I've already done a mystery shop and have two more booked next week, sold some bits and have over £20 pending on cashback.

A few pages ago someone mention party planning. I do this full time and it is possible to make £10k per year. Just make sure you choose the right company for you. I'm aiming to double my sales figures on last year but won't be including it in this challenge.

I'll give this a go. I do go to car boots etc occasionally, but will maybe take it a bit more seriously. I try and get my presents on money I have earned from things like this, so trying it on a bigger scale might be fun.

10K might be a bit of a stretch though, but you never know! I've got a house and shed full of clutter so I've got a good starting point.

I've been told that my home made tablet is the best, I might make some of this to sell and also growing plants from seed is a good shout to take to the booties. DH is off to afghanistan in March so he will not be around to complain about the house being turned into a jungle.:rotfl:

Will get my book ready and set aside my £100.

I'd love to join. I closed down my business as I was losing money (bloody recession!!!) so this thread will not only inspire me to get back on the horse but to make some dosh too in other ways-not sure how though-will have to read through 35 pages of posts for inspiration.

I'm going to start small and flog the ~£60 vouchers I have for Argos and the like. It should go for £55 on eBay but I'm going to post on gumtree as well.

Hi all

Sounds very exciting... Please add me to the list

I found an old stamp collection that had belonged to a Great Aunt, as I started my pre New Year declutter, and immediately thought that it probably contained an unmarked Penny Black and that was my £10,000 sorted before the challenge had even begun. I'm an optimist.

Unfortunately, after spending a couple of hours checking catalogues online, I have come to the conclusion that I would be fortunate to get £5.00 for the whole collection . Now the decision is do I part with it for £5.00 or hang on to the collection for another 100 years???

Right - have subscribed to this thread for about a week now. Decison time - please add me to the list. Need to do this as cut my hours at workd a couple of months back. Not sure how I'm going to do it - lots of ideas floating about in mind - need to get stuck in.

Best of luck to all who've decided to have a go at this.
