  • Just 99p bank interest to add.

    Aureol212 - be careful when you're selling hardbacks or large paperbacks on Amazon - because you get a standard amount for postage, if the book is heavy you may end up paying more for postage than you get from the buyer so it will eat into your profit - its OK if the book is expensive but if not you can sometimes end up selling books for next to nothing (or even make a loss)- bear in mind that Amazon doesn't pass the whole postage amount to you either - they take an admin fee - its about 40p-50p. Like Jesa I don't bother to list if the lowest price is too low.

    Sweetpeas - That book really made me think about how much I waste too - even though I'm on a fairly tight budget and I normally manage to stay within it I still buy loads of cheap bits & bobs that I don't need (charity & pound shop addict) - I feel like it would do me good to re-read it. Thanks for reminding me of it..

    I do that MsHalfull - while going through all this junk that I need to eBay I have lost count of the amount of clothing I have bought and never worn from Primark and bits n bobs from Poundland. Just because its cheap does not mean I need to buy it. Its not a bargain if you don't use it. Hopefully someone else will want it though because its been sat in my wardrobe/bedroom forever

    I think I may have about 500 things to list :(

    Just won £3.54 on the Tikki spin game. Won 5 free spins through the Tikki Fishing Game, and then won the money! thank you so much for this guys. I know I am not necessarily seeing the money in my hand, like with boots points, but knowing I am saving money, not just spending or creating money to be spent on essentials is fab.

    I went to my local library yesterday to borrow the books by Kathy Kelly - How I lived a year on a pound a day. They don't have it in stock yet, it is still being barcoded etc, but they have reserved it for me to borrow as soon as listed. But unfortunately that will cost me 90p.

    Might actually see if I can get the book second hand and send to a friend. She needs to have a good declutter and maybe this will encourage her?

  • Hi everyone - i'm new to all this but i like a challenge so please could i join and just do £5 a day?
    I have today listed a load of things on ebay and have got plenty more to do but having a small baby as well it's finding the time! :D
    I have read a few people saying about free scratchcards and mystery shopping - does any one have any good websites?
    Also does any one have any good cashback sites that you can get free cashback on by way of clicks?
    I have also seen people saying about free rolls on tiki? - i think that was right? can any body give me any information on that.

    Finally - congrats to everyone doing so well at this challenge - its just what i needed to motivate me to sort mine and hubbys finances out!:D

    Thanks in advance

    Welcome to the challenge Jem6240

    The best site to do for a free scratchcard is Littlewoods b!ngo. There is a link to the thread on free scratches in the first post

    I think there is a link to mystery shopping in the first post too

    Search the forums for Eagerlearners guide to daily clicks (or might be in first post too).

    Tiki is a free daily fishing game on Jackp0t J0y which runs from Monday to Sunday each week. You pick a square and if you get so many of a certain symbol you can win cash or spins on slots

    Most of what you need should be in the first post with links to threads discussing each topic but if you need anything else just ask :)
