A reasonable week for me - some good sales on ebay giving me about £130 after costs, but I did have to send £185 back to a buyer (taken into account with £130 total) as we messed up on a listing :mad:

Also got £43 of free goods from PC world after complaining that the spec of the laptop I have just bought is not exactly as we expected. I am including this in my challenge total as we would previously not have been brave enough to complain, let alone ask for some compensation!

Will update my total when I have the exact ebay amount worked out. I am sure that this coming week will be quiet challenge wise though.

Not a bad week in the end - almost made my target.

ended up getting just over £6 for audio book on amazon so things were looking a bit down but remembered by old camera old slr film camera - didn't seem to be worth much on ebay (and haven't tried posting something like this before) but took it to a camera shop in leeds which said it bought old stuff (including slrs) with a case etc and the guy was so rude and very patronising and wasn't interested well said maybe £10 - a guy looking at 2nd hand stuff in there followed me out and offered me £25 for it - said he still did film photography and was interested in my stuff - went to the cash machine and got me the money - I'm pleased as I hadn't used it for years and years (was a teenage phase) and I wouldn't normally accept an offer like that but I'm glad I did.

Anyway so about £35 last week in total so almost on target.

relisted my 2 ebay things on thursday and 1 has a bid :j lady who I hadn't had payment from sent me a message yesterday saying she's posted in on Friday, a week after she'd originally said she'd send it - wish I'd done a non paying bidder now - hope it turns up this time.

cleaned, checked and listed all the videos from in laws yesterday so hopefully some takers - some were fairly obsecure.

got phone out for envirophone and have charged it up to check it's still ok and if it is will trade in tonight.

Here's hoping for a good week :T

well I've had a slow couple of weeks, just getting back into the swing of being a checkout chick... had 8 hours the last three weeks and just got my first wage slip (I hate monthly wages). Made just over £100 these last two weeks including work. Not so bad considering it's all going towards bill paying!

Not great week for me, but got some bits at bootsale on sunday so next week will list those and see what happens x

Hurrah another £13.35 from ebay today and more stuff with bids on finishing tomorrow! :T
Also expecting to make a bit on the postage, although I do try and be as honest as possible.
After a couple of rubbish weeks it seems to be picking up again, not huge amounts of money, but £31 last week and £18.24 so far this week, and still 5 days to go :rotfl:

finallydebtfree!!

completed a couple more surveys today for valued opinions so that will boost the total someday!!!

banked the money made last week and transferred it to my cahoot challenge account!! hoping to recieve the mystery shopping cheque sometime this week so will include that once its recieved.
