2007 Olympic Challenge

Sea78

Right, since doing my spreadsheets I think I know my total now:

9.66 Ciao
5p found
14.99 profit from Amazon
78.83 profit from Ebay so far...

So £103.53, which is ok for me I think - I have a few other biggie things to sell soon, not just through EBay. Going to get a necklace valued tomorrow - cross your fingers for me please. I really need the money!

I've jumped up to 257 today :j :j :j :D :j :j :j

I bought contents insurance for 87.03 the other day but have cancelled it and done the quidco cash back thing saving myself 91!!!!

I also got 105 back from the childminder today as we agreed that I would have my daugher over half term.

I'm going to list a couple of things on ebay and then read the MB threads to start finding my feet with them again but the way my bank accounts stand at the moment, I need to clear more of my overdraft before I can transfer funds to betfair as my credit card 0% ends at the end of the month and I (obviously) want to keep everything at 0% :money:

CAN ANYONE WHO WANTS THINGS ADDING TO THE 1ST THREAD (I.E. USEFULL LINKS/MONEYMAKING IDEAS) PM ANNIE AS I'M SURE SHE'S SO BUSY MAKING MONEY SHE HASN'T GOT TIME TO READ ALL THE POSTS

Phew! Back on line finally - phone packed in on Monday evening taking broadband with it - terrible! Engineer came this morning and fixed it - thankfully a BT problem so shouldn't cost us anything - except a week of missed matched betting and missing MSE! :rolleyes:

So I haven't made any progress since last weekend - though I can now send my id off to bingomania so should get my £29.47. And am getting £25 tomorrow for helping with dog training. So hopefully will have a few things to add before the end of week 6!

So you search for that with the box for title and description ticked.

I was supposed to start them at 8 but have only just remembered so they may take a while to show up!!

Is leebarton about tonight? Just wondering if you have any veggie cookbooks floating round in your makeshift library!!! My eldest has decided its unethical to eat animals and now wont touch meat!! He's 5!! :eek: So i desperatly need some inspiration for meals we can eat that will still give him the nurishment his little bod needs!! I'm so glad he likes veg!!! I knew having a stock pile of lentils would come in handy one day!! :rolleyes:

Hi everyone,

I've been in Dublin for a few days which was a lovely break. But I'm back with extra ooomph now and raring to go. I've read through the last few pages and made notes (I agree with finallydebtfree about this becoming a bit of an obsession ):

THANKYOU to Sea78 for the Royal Mail calculator link - will be great for ebaying too!! :beer:

What's the hundred pound bingo thing all about?

Has anyone found Green Metropolis any good for selling books?

Can anyone give me a dummys guide to the cashback sites please or post a link?:p

How do you know when there is a cheap listing day coming on ebay?

WELL DONE jpwhittle on the trainer win :T

OMG - how on earth are you finding time to train for race for life and to this challenge finallydebtfree? :eek:

Hope everyone's OK coz it seems a bit quiet on here tonight.

Luv Jxxx

Hi jet,
Realised that no one answered any of your questions, so here goes from me.

The £100 bingo thing was last week bingomania had an offer where you get £100 for free to play bingo in one bingo room on their site and if you won over £20 you could withdraw it (into moneybookers), but if you win less than £20 it uses your winnings before using your free money, that's the problem I had, I never won enough, but no one knows if it is real and will pay out, its over now.

I have about 200 books listed on Green metropolis and I have sold about 20 in a year, so it is very slow, but if you have books lying around, it all helps.

If you have any specific questions about the cashback sites just pm me and I will answer them all for you.

I usually get an email from ebay telling me about cheap listing days, but they tend to be about every 6 weeks, and usually on a thursday.

Another £50 stashed away today, prob all I can do for the next week or two.

I wonder if I can also include my running total from cashback sites? I have not reached the 'withdrawal' level on any of the 4 sites but do have cash building up?

finallydebtfree!!

I am waiting until my money is paid out from cashback sites, but I dont see why you cant count it if you prefer. I just want to wait until the money is actually there in my bank and available for me to spend how I want

I know what you mean - so close, but yet so far! How are you getting on with the daily clicking? My best performer is FreeFivers within the top 4 sites...

I was using cashback rewards but havent bothered lately to be honest, just using pigsback, quidco, mutual points and consumer pulse at the moment. must get back into it though! only need another £9 before I can withdraw from cahback rewards so really should do it.

between pigsback and consumer pulse Ive had around £60 since the end of october (obviuosly alot of this hasnt been included in this challenge, most of it was for the money for nothing challenge)
