    Well done all of you who got to £50 on dooyoo, you're all an inspiration to me. :beer:

    While I'm out I find something to review and plan it all in my head, but when I get home and on computer my mind goes blank. I think i'll have to carry a notepad with me in future.

    It's a pity you only get paid for member reviews though. My ebay one has 43 member ratings but has over 167 reads. Not fair! :mad: LOL.

    Look likes should clear the £50 challenge, forgot that as some listings were Miss Hoodies clothes - charged p+p, in theory have £33 spare to play with, save some off the profit figures. x

    Well I have had a busy weekend so have missed loads of stuff on here and my dooyoo reviews have slowed to a halt. Need to get on and do some more today as I am up to 15000 points so not far to go to get to the 20000. Hopefully I will be able to complete the challenge by the end of the month, especially as I didn't start until half way through.

    All my ebay items finished yesterday, only 3 didn't sell and they were the ones that I wasn't sure about anyway. So 9 items sold and total £87.28 not including postage costs. My ebay fee balance is only £4.22 so only paypal fees to come off, so I have completed the ebay challenge for this month.:j

    We also packaged up some of DH's computer games totalling £30. Am really pleased with the money making this month, but have to carry it on for the next year!

    I can't wait for the next challenge now and I will be starting it at the beginning of the month, rather than in the middle like this time.

    Well done to everyone who has completed the challenes so far:T and keep going to those are still going!

    Well done everyone who has finished their challenge already. I got the £20 for Dooyoo and some other bits and pieces, havent really anything to put on Ebay as we dont really keep things about that we dont want. My daughter's clothes are not in any good state to sell on when she is finished with them and OH collects his dvd's and wouldnt part with them.

    I missed out on the Boots stuff as ours is only a tiny store and there wasnt much in there really, just Christmas cards and wrapping paper and a make up bags that kind of thing and I dont really have many female gifts like those to buy.

    Well, I have totalled up and have just about made my £50 on Ebay that is after fees and postage - only just made it though as some things I had listed didn't sell and some things didn't go for quite as much as expected - I will remember next time NOT to use the free listing days.

    I'm a bit relieved now and looking forward to the next challenge (due next week :eek:)

    Hope your migraine is now gone Nickybo and that everybody else is well.
    Thrifty Gifty February make £20 challenge £21.05/£20.

    No we did them on music magpie. I meant to put that on my post but must have got distracted - not hard in this house. I have got my husband involved in trying to make money, so he went through all his computer games and decided which ones he didn't want, some went on ebay and some on music magpie depending on where I could get the most money.

    Hope this helps.
