Thanks so much Bing0 for the challenge, it inspired me in lots of different ways to make save £10,000. I've made £1235.81 ish, nothing clever just selling some collectables, 1 car boot and finding £10.50 from the Summer car boots.
I've cut back on buying lunches, stopping a regular Tuesday takeaway and I'm on my way to acheiving the £10,000. I'm going to post on both threads, when my collectables run out I'm in need of ideas.0 -

I'm counting bonus' and overtime, I don't think there are any rules which makes it a great challenge. Helps me to get brownie points at work too. :TThis is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
I've only made £5....which has yet to be paid to me! :rotfl:
Not actually been doing this challenge but it did get me motavated to have a clear out.
Just got a question asking how much it would cost to send a fleece jumper to Slovakia.... any ideas anyone? :think:
According to RM site a pair of jeans would cost roughly £4 so i'm thinking possible around £5 ?
I've never actually sold any clothes...and never sold abroad so i have no idea!
