    Well done BM!

    I've cracked now and got serious - have started a spreadsheet with all the info about the items I'm ebaying, listing fees, clsing and paypal fees, as well as postage & then final profit. I'm hoping this will help me wotrk out what exactly I should replace in my bank account and what I should put in the savings acc.

  • I have managed to get £35 in Ebay profit plus £2 in loose change which I banked. Hopefully I'll be listing some more items on Sunday!

    I have also commenced on a diet challenge yesterday, as I went out on Valentines evening and couldn't fit into any trousers! I had to wear a long top and undo my zip in the restaurant! I am now 10 stone and 5 lbs and aim to lose a stone at least!

  • I bought some books from the auction again on Wednesday night (£87). Hubby not overly impressed - "have you not got enough already???". Got a phone call from a lady I know who is having a clear-out prior to moving - would I like to buy some books - can't say no, brought home another car load (£100) but all paid for with money already made. I told him - it's an investment.

    My car is needing an mot and is not worth repairing so I am going to sell it for spares or repair. It is worth about £500 as it is. It would cost me about £1000 to fix and would only be worth £800 when done. So.... bought a little P reg Saxo for £600 using the money we have made so far. I couldn't have done that without this challenge - so thanks guys! When the 'bucket' sells I shall put whatever is made back into the challenge account - I will of course be aiming to make £600 + if at all possible.

It will start at 8pm tonight so anyone want some scuba gear....:D Also listed my bro's wheels for him so if anyone has a VW in need of some alloys.... :D:D Code is in there as normal!!
