    like the idea of the challenge skint. need to concentrate my energy in other areas over the next 2 weeks but as we have Dhs relatives over at the end of next week am going to set myself a decluttering/tidying challenge.
    going to do 6 lots of 15 minutes per day except workdays when I will do 2. starting tomorrow and continuing to next friday.
    Thanks for giving me the impetus to set myself a challenge.
    also need to do my job application and my tax credits return and other bits of pieces of paperwork!

    well going to join i liked the £100 a week thing but at least this gives me 10 days for as much dosh collecting as possible ,ive tried to tart twice and keep getting knocked back so think i will start firing in shifts when i get back from wales ahhhhhhhhh! well heres the list
    tax credits
    chase bank (that should be fun)
    boot sale (sat and sun)
    ebay (still no camera but i will sort something )
    try and make holiday spending money (or some of it)
    pack caravan Whoohoo10 days and counting
    Skint on a Sat its mainly boot a lot of stalls are there every week selling old and new stuff if you dont want to drag a table you get a big table for £16 instead of £13 if you have your own vans are £16 as well dont know if this helps .Sunday is market and if you did the boot on sat you get it for £10
    So finally debt free and it feels amazing however continuing here to stay debt free.Next declutter house and body and finally swim under that waterfall x

    I don't know if I could do that...I'm pretty housebound at the moment and with only a month and a day left I'm having to buy suitcases etc too. I might give this one a miss and join in next time? Good luck with it though!

    Edit: Oops, looks like I've killed this thread and the 'Ville. Sorry guys...

    Oh no, have you got them? I try to keep mine but sometimes forget and desperately hope nobody asks for them! How are you doing? Do you get up really early or are you awake nights, I forget? xx
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

    ^ managed to find the proof of postage and the finally found the link to the form on royal mail's site (they'de hidden it & the link wouldn't work in chrome) but another thread on here suggest RM won't pay on a claim unless you can prove how much the item cost you as well as how much it sold for.:undecided
