2007 Olympic Challenge

hypno06

A reasonable week for me increasing my total by £192.45. A combination of matched betting, ebay and amazon sales and a couple of other bits, so I am getting there!

I fully expect next week to be a bit slower though - I have nothing on ebay at the moment. Need to get listing.....:rolleyes:

im the same hypno nothing left worth selling on ebay! still have loads of books sat on amazon and greenmetropolis though, would be nice if I could sell even 1 a week at the moment! I just seem to be relying on cashback sites at the moment which only brings a little at a time and quidco, providing all my transactions go through this month I should have a fair it coming in, enough to take me over the £200 mark

I have decided since my bonus has covered pretty much all of my trip to china I am going to use some of my challenge fund (obviously by july it will be a lot bigger) to pay for my full years car insurance, something I have never been able to do before!! which will save me about £25 a month from the end of the challenge, this £25 Im going to put into my spare savings account (well it will be spare after the challenge) and it will become my car fund! no more trying to scape together the £175 car tax each year!! (thats the plan anyway!)

after having said all this got a feeling Ive told you before sorry if I have!

9.66 Ciao
13p found
4.68 petrol vouchers
£315 MFI refund
47.37 profit from Amazon
586.97 profit from Ebay so far (minus a little postage on items not paid for/sent yet...
So total of £963.81!

-£180 used for debt repayment, -£300 used for car (would have debted otherwise)



Howver, have 15 items on ebay and only 3 have bids with a day to go - not so good!

Just to update my weekly total:

Ebay sales £34.61
Found £0.04
Money from loose change jar £0.86

Bringing my total for this week up to £35.51 so grand total is now £162.64 :j

Still no where near amount needed for Bronze challenge but i've only got £130 to pay off my alliance & leicester overdraft so anything i make is starting to reduce some of my debt

Just worked out that i need to make just under £50 a week to make the bronze target.... i've decided im definately going to do this ... well i'll give it a good shot!

Glad to see everyone else doing so well

Will it be ok to join this challenge at this late stage. New to all this but have to get motivated somehow.

Should be fine Cazzell, the more the merrier!

Need to get motivated again. Have slowed down, but a Amazon sale and profit from signing up to Virgin Casino have added £13.06. Will (eventually) have a few pounds from the Lloyds TSB Save the Change scheme, but that is a while off, also waiting (impatiently!) for my first £50 cheque to appear from YouGov.

I think I am starting to get a bit of motivation back now - have some items going on to ebay today and we are going item hunting this afternoon.
