    OMG im having to reduce my balance coz ive had to buy new bunk beds for the girls as DD2 was bouncing in her cot and it broke well shes just turned 2 so needs a bed now
    ah well without being on this challenge i wouldnt have had the money to buy them so i suppose thats a good thing and i will bounce back

    but i thought that the aim was to earn money not have to spend it so off to change my sig boohoo i need a hug
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

    i doing it by making a note of what i have gained then if i have to spend anything going to show my total minus my spend plans are to get my house sorted you see

    that way i can see what i have saved and gained and what i have spent tomorrow is going to be 2 tins of paint!!!

    ie will be £232.98 - £12.98 (for paint) £220
    grand total will still be £232.98 but will also show my spend

    you see if someone if using money to pay off a debt would be silly to save £3000 sit on it when it could reduce debt and interest etc etc
    Save 12k in 2015 member 187. £62.50/6000
  • only £25 more since i last posted :(

  • ;) Glad you all like it

    Yes, we love it - very cool.

    Had a few days away working hard :-( but had a £195 eBay result waiting when I got home! Woo-hoo and crack open a beer! :beer: So week 2 had a good ending, when I thought it might not have.

    Got in tonight to find another DVD sold on Amazon, Amazon looking great for the DV's but not so good for the books. DV's seem to sell really quickly, I've only started selling via Amazon for the challenge but sold four or five this way already. Need to update my sig too...... keep forgetting.

    More eBay stuff to list tonight, haven't remembered to put the challenge secret marker on yet but maybe this time!!!!

    Big up to WoA for the totals and newsletter, a fine job. (didn't crash my browser either! Using Fx 1.5.0.9 if that helps) PM you my wk2 total tonight.

    Cheers all, happy selling :D

    went through all my ptc and survey sites - discovered £7.40 in my ciao account which I haven't done a survey for for ages so I've requested that and re-focussed myself on the rest.

    Sold something else on ebay - just waiting on payment now only a few pounds but every little helps.

    Love the newsletter WOA - hope everyone has a good money making week :j

    I've listed a few more books on Amazon this evening, and done all my daily clicks. No money actually in my pocket yet but I'm working on it!
    ilovefreegle.org - give it away don't throw it away :)
  • Couple of books sold on e-bay tonight - an extra £4.97.:T

    still doing the slow but steady routine :rotfl: more like i find listing on ebay a bore. i need to get my butt into gear as this money will pay mum & dad back for the car they lent me the money for. Last one went bang - apparently if the engine is making a funny noise, turning the radio up so you can't hear it isn't the best idea :confused: oh well live & learn.

    Right i'm off to list some books on amazon & greenmetropolis as this sounds easier to do.

    Good luck everyone & keep up the hard work

    Keep the total!! I've hardly got any of the money I've made as it went straight on to my credit card. No point in having savings when there is debt! Hmm, wonder where I've heard that before ;)

    Hi all,

    I've finally got the link for the newsletter for you. I actually finished it at about 8pm last night, but I lost access to the net about two minutes before I would have posted this link! Grrrrr :mad:

    Nevermind, better late than never (take note, all you drivers out there)

    Anyways, here it is:

    Enjoy! :D

    Remember to PM me your totals for Week 2.

    WoA

    I've tried that link but it doesn't work....:confused:
