    Work are offering an £80 item for £40, so with the £40 I made last night from the free rowing machine I might buy it and then sell it on eBay for profit!

    Morning all...

    Emily - would it be an idea to 'edit' your first post with the rules of this challenge as and when we come up with them - then anyone finding the thread can see what the ground rules are, and we'd all know where to look to for clarification.

    Also if we all put the challenge in our signatures we can see how far we are doing, and it might spur even more people on....

  • Great inspirational idea - well done Ehallett. I am joining you in this challenge. Picked up a free book from UNI and sold it on amazon for £13.84 cost £2.21 to post so I've made £11.63 from nothing (used a recycled jiffy to send it in so no costs there and the pen used to write address was a freebie and the broadband time is paid for by hubbie's company so no cost there) Right where do I go next I wonder?????

    Debt-free and Proud!
    I've got my first £1! It was a bit jammy actually, cos I recently bought my car and realised that the old owner had left change in the ash tray! So I'm actually off to a flying start with £1.32! :j

    Right, I'm off to try and get a signature going, never done this before, so might take me a while... :confused:

    Morning everyone, I wanted to ask I'm getting payment from top cashback and £1 of it i got through free clicks. Does it count. I'm expecting that money by the end of this week. I couldn't register with FHM it asked for POI. So will try to sell the book I received from Mango. I called them up to say I didn't ask for one and they told me I can keep it as good will gesture. I'll posted on Amazon today.
