    Hi everyone

    I should have a nice sum of money by the end of today to add to my challenge. The rest of the beauty freebies I got last weekend are going for an amazing £50.75 so far and they don't finish until this evening.

    The Jane Norman dress that I got in a charity shop for £5.99 is selling for £16 at the moment (there's a little tip then if you can find any Jane Norman clothes in charity shops ;) ).

    I'm also going to do another matched bet later on.

  • I'm still struggling. I bought a box of 12 cucumbers with the money I raised from my pumpkin. I have sold 4 and swapped 3 for things I can sell on ebay so far. I have got a bid on one of my ebay swaps, so things are looking up.
    I am still in my first week so I am easily reaching my £1 target, but I feel like a failure compared to the rest of you.
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D

    Don't feel like that Christmasshopper.

    No-one on here will have a fool-proof method of making the total in the required amount of weeks, virtually everyone will not make as much as they are hoping on a method, everyone will lose money of one idea or the other.

    You are on target and thats all that matters

    Are you going to be listing your stuff on ebay today, as Sunday evenings are normally the best time for listings to end (might be telling you things you already know)

    I've got a 50's style Jane Norman dress on ebay at the moment. I was given it before I told people I was pg, and I outgrew it pretty fast! It's still got the tags on so seems a shame. I kept hold of it incase I lost the weight fast enough, but now it's on ebay. Gutted too as it's such a lovely dress. No one's bid on it so far though, hope it goes at a decent price!
  • I've earnt £14 extra mystery shopping and hopefully my b/f will be fixing my camera tonight so that I can start ebaying, (I have about 3 years worth of freebies to sell!!)

    I also sent a snotty email to swapits - empty envelopes!!!

  • I've not heard of swapits, shall have to look into it, though it doesn't sound as though many people have had much luck with them on this thread
  • oh and I forgot I was due some money from a mystery shop! Get's paid on the 15th so obviously not in the post today, hope it's here tomorrow!

    It's okay - just free money, (there just seems to be a few dodgy sellers on there - but isn't there everywhere?)

    You should try it!!:j

    I'm struggling a little Christmas shopper, I just started two days before you did. Luckily I just sold my first voucher on ebay to bump my total up a little. I am getting my starting money by doing surveys and recurring clicks. It is monotonous but it all helps. I get free vouchers from various places - nectar (and doing tns surveys - free adams vouchers), nescafe beans (free blockbuster vouchers) and I have £20 on its way from myvoice.
