challenge Make £11,000 in 2011 The Dribblers Advance

Fredula

I've spent the evening gathering all sorts of bits and bobs to try and flog on ebay tomorrow! I'm not sure whether to put them all on at 0.99 and see what I get or whether to fluctuate the price. It's things ranging from books to half full purfumes, teddies, clothes, etc.

ok so i have got very confused this month about extra coming in!! thanks to everyone about ebay - i will have another scout around the house!!

Think its £584 so far for other job plus £150 OT made £62 cashback but wont get that for ages so will count it later - plus got £99 credited to my account for over payment.erm...... think that is it!

So its £833 so far but will have to check it - so will then add my Jan and Feb totals together.

Im pleased as I thought this month would be very low!!!

I know next month will be as I havent done as many hours on my extra job (tried getting more but no)

YAY finally got paid for one of the MS, so £7 to add and hopefully on Monday I'll see a bit of extra money from work, although it won't be big money it's a tiny bit extra, hey ho.

Gutted about Ebay.......the free listing always happen when I'm uber busy!!

Some more monies in from eBay this morning which just about drag me over the £1k mark. Now trying to list as much as possible before the rugby starts.

I'm very slow on the uptake, but I'd like to join in with this challenge!

Things are very tight for us financially at the moment so any extra penny would come in handy

Over the past couple of months I've been joining bingo sites via Greasypalm, so I'm going to count my winnings since 1st Jan. That brings my starting total to £136.51. Still a long way to go!

I'm due to get a payment of approx £108 from Greasypalm on 1st March, but I won't count all of it towards the challenge because some of it is reimbursement for my bingo deposits. But I only joined bingo sites that gave extra cashback via Greasypalm, rather than simply reimbursing my deposit, so I'll be able to count the cashback towards my running total I've just got to hope and pray that Greasypalm pay up! I had a successful payment of £35 from them a couple of years ago, but I've recently read some negative reviews and I don't know how willing they'd be to pay out if it involves a 3-figure sum! Fingers crossed... Anyone got any reassuring success stories about Greasypalm to share?

I'm planning on having a good rifle through my wardrobe later to see what I can put on eBay while it's free to list this weekend.

Here's to a profitable 2011 for all of us! :beer:
Right, time to finish catching up with all your posts!

Not a lot to report here! I've just done a survey though so that should be a few £ in the paypal account when it comes through. Also got to my second £20 voucher this year (I had some points from ages ago which I had forgotton) on DY which I won't count until I use it but its good to have vouchers on my account, I had a load 2 years ago and it just about paid for christmas (everyone had things from amazon obviously!) going to try to get to another £20 by the end of march but it's going a bit slowly!!

My pay went in today so I can tot up my figures. Yay I feel less stressed now that I've sorted my money out for this month.

I'm having problems receiving my money from selling my items on amazon. My due date was 20th and it hadn't been paid into my Lloyds account so last night I tried to have it paid into my Natwest account and that hasn't worked (yet) either. Has anyone else experienced this?

Aww no Fredula, how annoying!!!

Hi Becca and nothing reassuring from me, they messed me about with something and I didn't get my payout. Can't remember all the details but certainly remember thinking that I will never go back to them!!

Hi all

Well I havent been on for a while and as you can see from my signature im not getting too far with the challenge. Unfortunately I lost my job a few weeks ago so the extra I was going to add to my signature had to be used for food shopping etc! I have taken advantage of the ebay free listing and so far today listed 15 pairs of shoes and still got a full black sack of clothes to go on there so fingers crossed I will get something to add to the funds

Today is the day I stop moping about and make a start on making some money to make a dent in my credit cards! I wont get anywhere near the 11k but I guess every little helps and is a step in the right direction!
