2007 Olympic Challenge

No progress for me today :mad:

I have got a couple of ebay things ending over the weekend but not expecting too much money there.

My empty printer cartridges that I put on yesterday afternoon have already got a bid of £5.50 on though so I am jolly happy with that. I wouldn't have even considered putting them there if it wasn't for the "things you never thought you could sell" thread so indebted to them for this and the tax disc sale that got me £1.50!!

I have also agreed a 50/50 refund for an item that is definately lost in the post so a few quid should come through paypal for that, which I will be including in my overall total because prior to coming on MSE, I would have just left it as being "one of those things".

Slowly! But I do hope to get stuck in to them this weekend. If I stay awake long enough, that is, it's been a hard week!

Hey guys!
What a week!!! I've made a grand total of.....£3.41....all week!!!! 1 sale on amazon!!! My relisted ebays items didn't even sell for a quid!
I'm over my throat infection but it has moved to my chest so I'm coughing up gold watches left right and centre!! :rolleyes: I'm sure its supposed to be good for you this giving up smoking lark!!!!
I know it doesn't technically count but I'm one step closer to getting back my bank charges. I sent off the 7 day "I'll take you to court" letter this week and have been getting 3-4 calls a day from them which I wont answer as I want everything done in writing!! They need to save themselves the bother and just pay the money!!! The money I get from that will fund my garden and pay off a debt so I hope they pay up soon!!
Seriously considering selling my car and going for gold!!!! I've got a 51 plate and I'm bored with it so I thought I might sell it and get something older and cheaper and use the money for better things....it's horrible to think I've got so much money just sat on the drive doing nothing!!!!
Ooh and there goes the phone again...Lloyds are at least punctual I'll give them that!!
Anyhoo..Hope everyones been having a better week...It's feb in a few days Jan will finally be over!! :T

And 26 people watching my ebay auction.

I hope there's a mad rush at the end, I've not made any money this week.

another £9.46 to add for me from match betting. amazon seems to be slowing down a bit at the moment but my FIL is bringing us 4 boxes of books on sunday that he was going to throw away so they will be being listed and hopefully make a few more sales.

Things are looking up a bit - got home from work to find my payslip from TNS mystery shopping so another £42.72 to add to this challenge so I'm getting back on track a bit have got a little ebay pile together to sort and am having a look on green metropolis now too - feeling a bit more positive :j

Oh and having said I haven't found any money since starting this challenge found 1p in tescos - but that's in the piggy bank which we're going to count at the end of this challenge - money we've found - which will hopefully make a nice surprise

Total in sig updated to include mystery shopping money
