2007 Olympic Challenge

The early bird one down the road was much busier, but I just couldn't get excited by such an early start!

Still managed to make £110 with a late start, even though it was quieter, so would probably do it again.

thats a fantastic total to make, Im always chuffed if I come away with more than £30 :rotfl: but then to be honest most of the stuff I sell is tat!!

I think a mini-challenge is in order. We need to come up with a brand new method of making money.... something that hasn't been mentioned on the thread yet. Then everybody has a set amount of time - say, 1 or 2 weeks - to make the most they can from that particular method.

Thinking caps on boys and girls - we need some new ideas! Be as creative as you like.... the stranger the better! NB: Within the law is preferable!

How about making home made cards and homemade envelopes, then selling them as packs of 6 or so to friends? This way they can use them all year round if the themes are neutral enough.

Alternatively, ask your OH if they will pay you £1 say to go and get their chocolate, or their beer for them?

If a friend is reluctant to have a night in, you could always bribe them with £5 voucher from say Boots, then 'save' the money you would have spend on a night on the town...

Hi all,

Hmmmm - new methods of making money......:think:

So far I have made money from:

Babysitting, Amazon, Greenmetropolis, Ebay, Mystery Shopping, Pigsback, Surveys plus a few other sundry things, but I've been racking my brains for other methods, and would love to hear any other suggestions!

Will post my new totals tonight when I get in from work - a few bits to add.
