    Had this one suggested to me by a friend. Have you ever been given a christmas present you wouldn't use yourself and you'd be ashamed to pass on to someone else? I was once given a very cheap bottle of brandy by an employer (he knew I didn't drink because of medication I'm on). Think it ended up in the church raffle. But things like that and sell them and see how far we can then build that initial money in say four weeks?

    What does everyone think? Any other ideas?

  • Hi fellow scots

    I have just discovered this thread, and glad to see there are so many people joining. I am from Northern Ireland originally, but live in St. Andrews now and love it. Are we still thinking of a meet? Sounds fab - the Christmas lights in Edinburgh are lovely, and watching the ice skating is always a laugh.....

    A challenge sounds just what I need in the run up to Christmas - I am in the middle of ebaying everything not nailed down, and am trying to make £100/ week for the next 10 weeks to put towards a new car. Fingers crossed!

    Anyway, keep warm everyone :D

    I took my egg repayment break but unfortunately they've taken my payment for december even though they weren't meant to! :mad: They had 7 days notice but still took it. They're sorting it out and say I'll get it back in 14 days! :mad:
