    Haven't had much luck with the challenge recently - 2 things out of the 4 I put on ebay didn't sell and the others haven't been paid for yet :mad: and didn't get far with my to do list from last week as the lovely weather took all my attention into our new garden.

    Did have a good sale on green met the other day, fairly new hardback fiction over 100 on amazon, none on green met, put mine on both at a price where I'd get the same money from each (added some postage money on green met) but I was over £1 more expensive on amazon than the cheap one. Anyway sold in less than 2 days on GM - £3.20 profit (was a book my dad bought but didn't like - result!)

    I'm going to relist the things that didn't sell again on Thursday and the 1 other thing I have to sell and might get together another lot too.

    Then from my list last week I need to:
    Clean and list the videos I got
    Go through my craft stuff - find any cross stitch stuff I won't do and ebay it

    Have started my car boot box and found a potential site ;)

    Am applying to AQA too - really need a boost I will get my £1000 :T :T

    Was able to add £102 today, but that's probably it now for couple of weeks unless more invoices get paid to me later this week... hoping to get around £28 from Quidco this month though so that is next milestone and will also go in my Christmas category...

    Sorry not been about. Another 44.30 to add to my total.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    Hi everyone,

    Here are my updated totals since last time:

    Ebay 68.49
    Babysitting 16.00

    Bringing my grand total to 1864.30

    I cannot believe how much extra/non-income stuff I've raised. It's just amazing.

    Writing it down really focuses the mind on what to do with it, doesn't it!?

    Ooh, I've had fun today. I went on to Lightspeed for my old email address and managed to get them to give me vouchers/transfer to me, £4 of paypal vouchers. Won't count them yet, as I haven't the least idea how it all works, but I'm excited now.

    And.......... ta-da!........ drum roll........... with Martin saying last week that *now* is the time to switch elec and gas providers, I finally did it today. And it really shows how I've let it slip.......... I was shocked, actually. I'll be getting £15 cashback and the tariff is 50% cheaper than the one I was on! Of course, I was on Scottish Power, all is explained. I'm a happy, happy bunny.

    I think I'll go back on Lightspeed this evening with my new email address and see if there's any surveys I can do, I'm into it now!
