2007 Olympic Challenge

finallydebtfree!!

well done annie!!!!!

finallydebtfree!!

note to self: try NOT to buy other challengers items as you are trying to save money!

right that over with must try to resist buying ladder 49! love that film but most of the stuff I will be selling throughout the challenge will be unwatched dvds that I have accumulated!! lets hope whoever is selling it will get lots for it so I will not be tempted! (either that or get my parents to buy it! :rolleyes:)

I have decided to make a diary of this challenge in a notebook I got for christmas, I will record all my progress and what I have done each day to try and incrase my total.

Good Luck guys!

Well done to everyone who's already off the mark !! :j :T :T :j

My action plan is:

1. I'm going to move house over the next couple of weeks so will be having a MAJOR sort out!!
EVERYTHING MUST GO!!:rotfl:
2. Start Matched betting again using a cashback site :T
3. Ebay, ebay, ebay
4. Start buying and selling books
5. Look in to the Tesco R&R threads
6. Use all vouchers possible
7. Start a business using an ebay shop
8. Get more translation work
9. Start making and selling cards
10. Start advertising locally for dog walking service.

All systems go!!!!

Have listed 11 items (I think) on ebay

Have £50 left over from Christmas cash (would have been more if i hadn't brought a body fat monitor scale from Lloyds and a new kettle)

Should have £14 at the end of the week from walking instead of using the bus
(worked out that nearly a third of my total would come from this cost saving measure)

Woohoo!!!

Just been listing a load of items on Ebay and one of them went straight away on Buy It Now. It sold for £15 (was a Christmas gift last year so didn't cost me anything anyway) and the best bit is that the woman lives right around the corner from me so I don't have to post it and get cash in hand

My total has gone up to £16 already :j

Everyone else is doing really well already too

Put me down for the Bronze.

I have £4 in luncheon vouchers i got from doing a survey so i'm going to swap it for this cash with OH he can use it to get his dinner.

Anyone blogging their attempts? I think it would make interesting reading. Not sure I would keep mine very up to date or would have a go myself.

To whoever asked about GM: I've had a few books listed for quite a while but no sales. Amazon is much, much better imo.

Also, please remember IBootsale! New site so no fees at the moment.
