Ok...so a VERY quiet few days for me. Have no more listings on ebay as i've been feeling a bit down to be bothered with it. Back on the band wagon tonight tho! 99p from a top i sold, £20 my brother gave to me for selling some of his stuff on ebay for him (don't worry guys he paid his fees too:cool:) and went to home bargains yesterday for cleaning products, mam knows how bad things are for me at the moment at when we got to the checkout she paid for all my stuff so £8.89 there as its money i would have spent anyway.
Will update my signature for the final time this month, and i'm well over my target so i'm happy.
Today i'm gonna finish on mucking out the daughters bedroom whilst they aren't here (its been a work in progress for 2 weeks :rotfl:) but they are back saturday so anything that they don't play with is going on ebay. I know they don't play with baby annabell and they have LOADS of dolls clothes so i'll be listing them at some point this week along with anything else i can get my hands on, :rotfl:.... This will all count towards the September Challenge, and i have gone from £5 per day to £10 for next month so really need to crack on with it!:eek::eek::eek:
Good luck to everyone reaching those totals over the next couple of day and well done to those who have already done so. I'll still be *watching* this thread to see how you are all doing

Thanks Counting Pennies, and congratulations on making target! :T
Had a very expensive day out. Planned to enjoy a day out closer to home so took DS1 to Chesterfield Museum, which he always enjoys, and was going to take him up the Crooked Spire as he's never been up before, and they don't open it very often, but he suddenly decided that he had a fear of heights!?!?! :huh: Never been an issue before, so that was pretty strange.
Ended up shopping for the rest of the day, and spent quite a bit of money, it was mostly on things that we needed anyway, but I still feel a bit guilty for spending so much money when I spend so much time trying to earn it in the first place!!!
I have £1.59 to add today. Not much, and I really doubt I'll make target this month, but I'm extra confident for next month so will hopefully make enough to compensate for this month's failure!
I'm going to ebay like crazy next month, and I've got DS1 into it too with the promise of a new bedroom, so should easily hit target on that alone. I live in a two bedroom house and my bedroom is pretty big (about 14ft each way), but now DS2 has moved in (technically my nephew but I'm now his legal guardian), I'm going to have to give it up and move into the second bedroom so DS1 & 2 can share the big bedroom.
I'm actually pretty gutted about it as DS1's current bedroom is about 2/3 of the size, but it has to be done. I therefore have to get rid of all of my clutter (and there's a fair bit of clutter!!!), as it's never going to all fit in the new room, and will only get in the way when decorating. I'm also hoping to recoup at least half of the money I will have to fork out on paint, carpets and furniture as I have DS2's birthday next month and DS1's the following month... and I like to really spoil themso could definitely do with the extra cash!

Eugh, its early!
Getting ready to leave the house, my first meeting is a 0730 this morning and it feels like its the middle of the night! Trying to get my bf moving is hard work! Item ended on ebay last night without a bid
so think I am going to struggle to meet my target this month, but I'm still hopeful for September! Did some gardening yesterday and found a 5p piece so that is in a little dish of coke attempting to get it all shiny as its a funny brown colour at the mo! I'll update my sig later on with the weekends other ebay items (2 people havent paid! grr) once I have figured out the fees!

An extra £19.07 from auctioning this weekend...still a person to pay, but sure that can roll in to September! All the stuff we've put this month has been stuff we've just had sitting around...so over £50 from things we won't even notice have gone! This challenge is superb! :j
A total of £161.52 extra this month...going for the £10 a month in September...bring it on!!!
All the best to everyone else for the rest of this month...and see ya on the September thread.£10 a day in November = £593.31 / £3000 -
Posted a couple of ebay items off today so can add the profit for those ...
£7.27 to add.
Not much but it gets me a little closer. Expecting some MS fees tomorrow which should bring me to within £10 of the target0
