    Oh, and you fill your house up with junk that either your friends donate because they think they are doing you a favour, or you buy as part of job-lots and can't get rid of. So far I have accumulated:
    2 pairs of flip-flops
    a bagful of summer tops
    3 pairs of shorts
    a toy lion
    an Ipswich Town toy dog
    a willy shaped cruet set
    a cookie jar
    a trinket box
    a vacuum flask
    a picnic set
    some non-ceramic hair straighteners
    5 cucumbers
    a jar of chilli sauce (I think I'll be able to sell that)
    5 Crack-a-boxes ( a cross between a cracker and a gift-box)
    2 paperback books
    a Donny Osmond LP
    My dining table is beginning to resemble a church jumble sale. Has anyone any advise for me, please :confused:

    put the dining table in the front garden complete with stuff......that way passersby can buy........and the table and the bits and pieces are not getting under your feet ...with the amount of stuff on it you are obviously not eating off it at the mo...!!

    good luck

    Good luck everyone!

    I have been saving up points with a stationery company and had enough for 3 vouchers with high street shops so have ordered 3, should arrive tomorrow and will list on E-bay...

    Still at a loss as to what else is good to get rather than books and vouchers - any ideas much appreciated...

    PS: PM me your e-mail address if you'd like a spreadsheet to use specifically for this challenge!

  • I'm wondering what sort of things to buy that would sell well - I suppose you just have to see what you come across!
    I need my vouchers from pigsback for xmas presents so I'm not going to sell them!

    I just looked at my Pigsback points - could get £30 in vouchers - but it's hard to do! I am away at Christmas so could actually use the vouchers towards the challenge, but it's tough to see them go...
