Soooopah work peeps!! I've just totted up my totals and the crystal bits, handbag and second bear made a total of ca. £201!!!!!!!
Unbelievable.......I was hoping to make maybe £75 tops!!!
Now if only I could get my matched betting right, I'd be well on the way to an ISA for this year

I only hope I can do as well as you guys! have no idea how to get that far though!

well done ben..... i was worried as it was only 99p....
last minute bidders hay.....dont you just love them:D
well worth the hassle of carrying it home on the bus..Work to live= not live to work0 -
My Aston Martin book that I got for £1 went for £14.50 - a nice add-on to my total!!!
Plus the book my mum wrote about Portugal is selling well - I have 10 copies she gave me and 2 have sold already in one day - I guess people are thinking of Christmas gifts. That's another £11 towards my total which I will tally up tomorrow.
Positive day - now I need to think of how I can move away from books and start making real money on different items as the targets will get tougher...MFW #185

Ok, am off the mark!
Sold vouchers I got free on ebay for £13.29 profit.
Used some of this to 'buy' from myself charity shop items I'd bought at 10p each a few weeks ago but had done nothing with. (Did ask for a ruling on this but as no-one commented assume is ok
). These have sold for a net profit of £11.59.
Sold some other free items for a net profit of £7.12.
£32 so far!!!! Edit: just checked target - am 1 week ahead.
Hmmmm,,,,,, what next???? have last remaining 2 items listed, will be happy if break even though..... 1 good thing about this challenge is that I've set up a spreadsheet to calculate ebay & paypal fees:eek: .
Have got around £15 due from quidco re hotel bookings reimbursed by work, also hoping to sort out mum's insurance & get quidco cashback.
Need to examine wardrobe, bags etc & look for gifts to sell otherwise am struggling....
Well done Ben!!!!!A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
