    I've signed up for free bingo at Costa. I was expecting to have to put my bank details in, in order to play the free games but I didn't :)

    Silly quesrion but if you win on free games can you remove that money or do you have to wage it on the paid games? and is there a best time/game to play to win? I've been playing for hours and not even come close to winning :(

    I'm now on £90 on ebay with 22 items sold or selling :) They all finish tonight so I've got my fingers crossed for £100 or more :j

    I'm tempted to go to the bootsale to find more stuff to sell but I'm thinking I should sell my other 80 odd items first ;)
  • Well done! Fingers crossed for your £100!

    I'm up to 25 on Amazon, 5 on play.com and 25 on ebay. Even if I only get £250 for the lot I'll be delighted, but the books on Amazon are worth over two hundred so I'm quietly hopeful.

    How's everyone else getting on?

    Let us know if you reach your £100 target :)

    Good luck Debbie. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that everything sells.

    Well, nearly all of my items for today have sold (or not) so that's 34 of my 100 items sold and I made £160!!! So I guess I'm aiming for £200 now :)

    Well done on the ebay sales its good when there is a challenge going.Might join this week however i'm still refitting kitchen so far
    New boiler £700 knocked them down from £735
    Fitted £300 thanks to my nephew and his mate
    Total £1000 however nephew and mate cost me an extra £150 on food and drink however all other qoutes £3000 so £1850 saving .
    New kitchen well used one we are picking up £450 they wanted £500 so that will cover hire of van kitchen includes hob and fitted fridge/freezer we might have to front up for new work tops ???
    Hubby spend so far on plaster board ect £200 but we were quoted £500 by plasterer ,so doing well .
    so ebay ebay ebay me thinks .
    for the ebay sellers I think there is a limit to how much you can put on before they make you go business and paypal can get funny about withdrawals once account has so much money in it people had problems with both problems last year might be worthwhile reading the ebay thread.
    So finally debt free and it feels amazing however continuing here to stay debt free.Next declutter house and body and finally swim under that waterfall x

    Bits and peices of everything. A wardrobe, some computer games, disney DVD's, handbags, craft stuff, clothes... Just odds and ends that I had around the house that I didn't think I would miss.

    elly - Sounds like the kitchen is comming allong well. The used kitchen you bought sound like a bargin :beer:

    Ooo... That's a nice birthday bonus :)

    It's my birthday next month, I hadn't thought of asking for money to add to the pot instead of gifts... not that I get many gifts **sniff**
