    A late tip for making a quick profit. There is currently a limited edition pair of pink GHDs which cost a whopping £135 (with £10 going to Breast Cancer charity.

    They go for up £195 on ebay!!!
  • Is anyone else still doing the £1024 From Nothing Challenge? Or has it finished now Annie has reached her target? I've still got another 2 weeks before mine finishes.
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D

    christmasshopper.....of course it's still going.....my finishing line is this Sunday. Everyone should just keep at it until they cross theirs. The talk of the next challenge is just lots of excitement and planning ahead for the next one - it in no way means this one is over.

    Good luck:D

    Well mine's got a bit Pete Tong! I've had to use my money I'd saved on cattery fees and on other stuff that's come up in the last couple of weeks... I think I will try again in the New Year, although I will need to find new stuff to sell as I've sold everything I could this time! :(

    Hi everyone,

    I have been an avid reader of this thread and it is very inspiring, well done to Annie for reaching the goal, and for everyone who has made money for nothing, good luck to those who haven't finished yet.

    I am def up for this challenge next year and I will be going for gold!

    Freebird - where can I buy these GHDs at the cheaper price to sell on ebay?

    Well done everyone and emily for starting this challenge.

    My personal challenges that I have set myself for next year actually tie in nicely with the new challenge - learn how to match bet and make money from it, and claim back all my bank and credit card charges.

    Can't give you a specific place to look for GHD's....check your little local hairdressers, Boots, Toni&Guy branches etc. I found mine in a little local shopping parade whilst walking past en route to a station!
