'1k cant see into the pot challenge'

Im am doing a challenge for myself and anyone that wants to join. Make 1K in one month. Impossible it seems but with my ebaying skills im going to try my best!!!! I will call the challenge '1k cant see into the pot challenge'.

I have one of those jars that u cant see into and have to smash and any money saved will be placed into it and smashed on the 15th of October. The money that will be going into it will be:
Spare change at the end of the day
any savings made e.g. not buying wine on friday, not buying choc bar when I fancy cash will be put in there
any ebay/amazon selling
quidco cashback

These will all be pulled out as cash and put in the pot. Bring on the 15th of October!!! :)) Any other ways of making money please lemme know!!! :))) :beer:
