2007 Olympic Challenge

Hi Guys, I've been reading this thread quite a bit lately and even though I've wanted to join I keep telling myself I can't do it. WELL today I decided that Can't wasn't a word in my diary and I've decided I'm going for Bronzo (if that's OK with you lot). I've got an account which is empty and its going to become my Olympic Challenge account. So far I'm waiting for £280 in Bank Charges, I've got £46 in Quidco and £16 with GreasyPalm so my total so far is £342 (£665 to go).0

I've tried listing individually but didn't have much luck even though it was Next, River Island etc stuff. I'm hoping to get a lot or two together this weekend though. Least it's only one listing fee if it doesn't sell.OD Girls On TourBarcelona 2008 - Dublin 20090 -
Welcome girlracer.
Unfortunately you can't count the bank charges in the challenge money but if u see the first post of this thread there are loads of things which will help bring ur total up to that amount in no time.

OK, I'll subtract my bank charges
My total looks pretty pathetic now. Oh well a challenge isn't a challenge if it's not hard work. I'll give it a go.

That's what I've been doing too girlracer and it's amazing how many coppers I've got now (nearly a whole bisto tub).
I've just listed the things on ebay that I had taken photos of and I didn't think the description needed too much brain power and I will keep going again tomorrow. I've got 1 watcher so far....
