    Whew, no more ebaying for me now for a while. I am ebayed out! Plus with the move this weekend I want to get rid of boxes, not keep them for packing ebay stuff or imagining my next source of bubblwrap he he :D :rolleyes:

    Added £50 to savings yesterday, which technically is for a 'when I have a rainy day with no work' fund, as I am self-employed, However, I think this should still count towards the challenge as it's money I have no set 'debt' to pay off or any intended purchase in mind for... any ideas :confused: ?

    Eagerlearner - I think it's fine to add to the challenge -will probably make you less likely to spend it!! Well done :)

    I'm back after going to my mother's to help with a family do (it was supposed to be a rest, sigh), and I'm glad to be back. Had to take my stuff off Amazon, will be putting it back on this afternoon - no work in the garden, its tipping down, more sighing....

    Ebay: I have lots to sell that can't be put on Amazon, but I did a couple of preliminaries last week and neither sold, neither of them even got any watchers. I'm wondering if categories make a really big difference to whether an item sells. Does anyone have any advice? The categories ebay offer seem to be a bit arbitrary....

    I bought some concert tickets with my friends promising they'd go and now some can't and others are on maybes :( So now I'm £75 out :eek: (Because I'll still go no matter what!)

    Got paid today :) :j Need my payslip to work out how much is purely overtime but I think it's approx £130 :D

    Plus £31.45 from Matched Betting makes a total of £994.90 :T Nearly there (or half way if I go back to Silver)
