  • Hi all. Made another £50.50 at a boot sale yesterday, slow progress, but better than nothing. Just wish that I could get all my stuff in the car in one go!!
  • Hi All,
    I'd love to join in.....obviously a little late than the rest of you. So over the remaining 8 months I'm going for £7328 I've saved from the beginning of the year but starting from now that doesn't count toward £7368.
    I've been reading what you've all been doing and I'm totally inspired!
    Well done all of you!

    Hi Everybody,

    Well we loaded the car up last night and went to the car boot sale this morning. It really was alot of junk that we took. Came home with two small boxes of stuff and we made £161.

    So I think I may go again next week as we could only fit about a third of the stuff that i sorted out into the car.

    fredula i found last year i would lag and so hales would set our tasks for us however last years lot are all away working on the projects,jobs,hobbies that made up most of the money they made ,think this thread will always be like that as the money making is time consuming .
    lists are my way to go .

    Another £22.59 paid off the credit card :j:j

    Agree with your no.5 elly, it's hard finding proper food on the dtd isn't it! Though the dishwasher tabs and cleaners will save us in the long run.
