  • Aww, thanks guys :o
    I'm literally the most excited it's possible to be :D
    I have no furniture and a rather small budget BUT I don't care! TBH if it wasn't for this challenge I'd have literally nothing to spend.

    Payday tonight :) (I get paid weekly and since I don't finish work til 2am my mini payday excitements happen at night, i'm not crazy honest) Work should be rather entertaining tonight after the xmas do on Monday & everything kicking off.

    More reason than ever to list like crazy on eBay today :j
    Although my DS will be helping since he can't be left downstairs with my mother for more than 3 seconds without them having an arguement.
  • I have hit a dead end, I've run out of things to sell in my house!

    I managed to make around £70 after taking off costs etc.

    I'm not sure what to do now, job hunting is a nightmare but I can't carry on on benefits, apart from being embarrassing it's not enough money to live off of.

    And not having a niche idea/market means I am not sure I am ready to sign off and be self employed as I don't actually have a niche.

    All of the things I know about are already being sold by high sellers on ebay.

    I'm a bit lost right now :(

    Are people selling wholesale with competition and actually making a reasonable regular income even if low sales at the moment?

    I'd love to be self employed but lack of confidence and ideas is making me think it will never work.

    Sorry for being so negative :o

    Get the email you don't need to but the hosting from them though you can just transfer the domain over to whoever you host it with. I bought both name and email from 123 and my website is with DYOS xx

    You need hosting yes, I have a domain and site I didn't do much with. My hosting is with godaddy, they also let you download wordpress which is great for choosing a theme, downloading it and then you can change the website layout yourself.

    Not wordpress as in the blog by the way, have a look hat wordpress - org - not .com (thats for bloggers)

    Moofie,

    I've just joined this thread so forgive me in my optimism as it may be mispaced. But throughout life, everytime I have had a set back I've had no choice but to start over. And I have had to do this a number of times.
    What I'm getting at is, go back to page 1 of this thread and start reading through some of the links again. I'm currently reading the 500ways to make money one, and although I couldn't possibly do a lot of them it has given me a few ideas. So it might not have the answer but there might be something on there for you.
    If nothing else it might take your mind off your worries for a little while.

    I hope you pick up soon.
    Would like to: Retire at 54. 19yrs .Clear mortgage by 50. 16yrs. Clear Secured debts by 43. 8yrs.Clear Unsecured debt by 39. 4yrs. Gain full control of my finances by 36. 1yr.Keep my head above water. Today.
