Hi skint glad business is going well ,decided to boot once a month and buy a decent camera for ebay pictures.doing extra shifts and topcashbacking with every online purchase so need to update total lol
hi kiran welcome to the madness lol
jo hope you get internet fixed soon .
have ordered loads off ebay think there will be parcels fo 3 weeks lol

elly - your supposed to be making money - not spending it! have you had a look at halfcost lately? was looking at other threads and noticed that they had pointed out that its 171 days to christmas and that was on the 7th so i make that 158 days now!!!! are you planning anything in particular to capture the christmas market - may be worth trying to come up with a plan now - am considering craft fairs or something along those lines.
Does Kinross let you sell new goods? thought i read somewhere that you had to register as a trader or i may have a punt at that.
am tempted to start going to the auctions again but think o/h would have a fit really need to get rid of the stuff i have already but cant be ar**d with ebay just now - that 10k is seeming further away than ever just now. but nearly a third of the way there.
am going to commit to :- anybody else want to join in again?
1)making £135 extra by next sunday.
2) List 15 things on ebay
3) put up 10 postcards advertising business
4) Cancel phone contract at £35 p/mnth and change to £10 a month
5) check out quidco for any deals (keep forgetting when i'm buying from ebay)
6)dye my hair at home instead of £60 at hairdresser
7) make Christmas list and look at homemade hampers for some (fed up being skint at christmas)
8) update tax credits by 31st

Hi all thanks for the advice on Vistaprint, will check it out. I want to join in the challenge too please, need £150 by the 1st so will aim for getting it all this week then I can sort the rest by the 1st if needed.
Ideas are;
-get photos of the bride and groom when finished and get a BIN auction with two items available onto Ebay;
-scour the house for anything saleable, cos there's got to be something...
-er, that's all I've got so far.
Elly, how's your camera? I'm hoping to get one at some point as I'm constantly needing one for random shots of the kids, and for other less fun stuff too Everyone OK today? xx
