    Yay! I have just sold one of my happyland items so thats another £10 to the cause.

    Can I ask a bit of advice please? How much do you think a pair of Coast trousers would sell for and also a Radley Mobile Phone Holder?

    off the mark . saved £10 in mr t with coupons . plus saved £4 with purchase from ebay with plus points and managed to save £40 from housekeeping money.

    so £54 so far.

    noticed proctor and gamble have promotion on .IF YOU SPEND £10 IN PRODUCTS YOU GET £5 WORTH OF VOUCHERS BACK .

    Checked my receipt and i had spent over £10 on conditioner ,Fabric softener and dishwasher tabs . I can't see anywhere if you can only claim once but with lady products!!!! on offer in mr t at present and two teenage girls in the house i might stock up and submit again .

    I've listed 11 items on Ebay but it's taken me all afternoon, hope it's worth it.

    Got one bid so far of 99p on an item I've put quite a high reserve on as it is valuable, but the bidder has bought lots of similar items before and seems to be a serious collector and is now just watching, so fingers crossed might end up with a good sale there!
    Cash not ash from January 2nd 2011: £2565.:j

    OU student: A103 , A215 , A316 all done. Currently A230 all leading to an English Literature degree.

    Any advice given is as an individual, not as a representative of my firm.
  • I know I have left it a bit late but can you add me to the challenge.

    MMM. Where to start.....off to find stuff to ebay right now!

  • [Might do some competitions tonight but its very poor returns , I do so many ,about 100 a day and have only won 2 small items in 6 months :mad:. I feel I should give up comping and put my efforts into other ideas.

    What kind of competitions do you do? If they are all lucky dip then obviously the odds of winning are not great - you are much better off entering comps from local newspaper (as less entries) or comps that require some kind of skill - i.e. making something, designing something or a tie breaker....as less people bother with those. I enter comps sporadically and subscribe to a comping magazine....I have won a few nice things, not won a big prize yet, best to date is most recent - a £500 farmstay holiday in Cornwall that we are taking in Feb Half Term....other things include huge range of FCUK toiletries, weekend break in Blackpool, football tickets, Herbal Essence products and £50 garden centre vouchers.

    Items are not doing to bad on ebay only three hours left and bids on both items, can't wait to see the final total. I had a little cat nap so away I go to do some more work. Got some research done but quite a relaxed day so far although I think I might do some late night stuff - I get up at 5am on the weekdays and my body has been fighting me most of today.
    Have to get two quotes sorted out for invitation
    And have two graphic design projects that I will definitely be doing! As they are an hourly rate I don't know what I will make yet but guestimating about £100, also I am 94p away from my first ever payment from adsense, I can't wait! :)
