  • no problem sea! just pm me when you are ready! :)

  • 3 hours to get your totals in guys!

    had another fab trip to boots thanks to the boots thread, todays sunday times had a voucher for a free item of sanctuary skincare (selected items only) so got 4 papers (£2 each) and got my mum 4 different items from the list (total rrp about £45!) again not including this in my total as I probably wouldnt have got it otherwise!

    made my mum happy! her goodies for mothers day cost me about £12 but have a retail price of around £65 (would have spent way more than this and got alot less for her if it wasnt for mse!!)


    Yippppeeee thank you so much for this. Where is this voucher in the Sunday Times? We have the paper!

    V dissapointed - there were far more watchers on my biike jacket on ebay than bidders, I guess some folks were just interested to see what it would go for... so many watchers got me really hopeful. In the end I got £22, for a £200 jacket - gutted.

    I've been having this a lot - several items have either sold for ver little or not sold but they have quite a few watchers - very frustrating!

  • thats great christmasshopper! how did you manage it?

    I have been buying a lot of bargains (to sell at a small profit) with the money I had already raised from the challenge. I have been buying things like buy-one-get-one-free beauty products, perfumes and gift-sets. This week I hired a room at the local community centre for an hour and held a Mothers' Day Gift Sale.
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D

    my intention was not to spend it but life happens
    ive used my money to buy DDs bunk beds brand new table and chairs and pay Dk swimming lesson (never been able to do that without dipping into penny jar) so i dont drop the amount as its money i never had in the first place and ive still got £60:26 left in account from this
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

  • Yippppeeee thank you so much for this. Where is this voucher in the Sunday Times? We have the paper!

    sorry I didnt reply sooner, If you havent found it already its in the style mag, quite near to the back! was it an effort to find it in the car on the way to town! I must have looked like a mad woman!!!
