  • Ooooh..I feel that I am finally off the starting line, as I have received some cashback from a cashback credit card that I no longer use, but did earlier in the year and then I paid it off, so I had forgotten about it. So I can add that in to my total, which now makes it a more respectable £28.23!! :T
    Now I am on a mission to find something that will actually sell on Ebay!! :rolleyes:

    Can I put the money that I 'saved' on childminding fees into my pot. I normally pay about £60 per week, but I forgot that last week was a short week and I have saved £15. I am going to move anything I save/earn into my real savings account.

    If so way hay!!

    I would say that was fair. For me, I'm gonna add anything to my total that I think is fair game. If I feel it doesn't/shouldn't really count, I wont add it.

    Depressingly, I currently have a negative total on my challenge. Did some overtime at work, but bought some munchies afterwards and am not adding the wages until I've received them, so currently at a grand total of about -£3.50!!!!

    Well done Kat.
    One of my neighbours brought round a ton of books for me tonight - mostly M&Boon - we are going to share profit. I know some go quickly on amazon but I might list them as job lot on ebay - what do you think would be best option???

    I have about 7 M&B listed on amazon and I have only sold 1 in a year, so I wouldn't expect them to move very quickly. I'm not sure about ebay, best check out the completed listings, it looks like others have said it's no good on ebay. Perhaps you could list as a job lot buy it now for 10 days on thurs during the cheap listing day, then it won't cost as much in fees, if it is an auction only listing day then start at a higher price. If it doesn't shift then just leave them on amazon to do their thing.

    (my first - fees are a bit lively aren't they?)

    The thing with Amazon is to check how much you'll get back after a sale, it always notes that for you before you submit the listing. And there's no paypal fees to include.
