2007 Olympic Challenge

ehallett

Not added to my total today but I am picking up a lot of 14 books later which will hopefully sell and get me something.

I found a load of old Open uni books too which I hope will get me some extra.

Once I've built up a little stash, I'll get going with the match betting again.

Well I think I have may have overdone it a bit on this challenge!
I've got 40+ listings to send to ebay tomorrow
I've listed all my dvds and cds on amazon (2 of which have now sold!)
And, I was just going to to drop my sons preschool hours from 5 half days to 2 saving me £21 a week but I had a rethink last night....
As of Monday my eldest is starting a new school and my youngest wont go to a preschool til September...I'll save £35 a week in fees and about £30 a week in fuel getting to school as instead of driving 7.5 miles we'll be walking 50 yards!!!!! £65 a week on the challenge for 6 months will do wonders for my challenge total!!!!
I was going to add my bank charges as I done it for this challenge but 1. it seems general consensus is not to and 2. I'll be lucky if I get them back in time anyway!!!

By the end of May I would have cleared my grand overdraft as well as paying off most of 2 debts so how ever it pans out I've done well! I might just be able to keep up with you guys!!!

Have just discovered Amazon! Already sold two books I listed last night, £15.17 to add to my total.

I have a dilema..... My landlady brought across Christmas presents the other day - but we are not getting on at the moment. Without going into details (I don't want to bore you) we are trying desperately to move because she has turned into the landlady from hell! The dilema is, do I give her the presents back unopened and tell her to shove them up her nose - or do I open them, see if they are any good and sell them on ebay? Chances are they will be reasonable - e.g. ds games.

The Peter Kay book and a Slimming World book. Have sold 2 more since then, but need to take my postage costs out before I add those to my total! (forgot to take out of my first two books).

Did 2 MS's at lunchtime and got to buy stuff I'll actually use so that's the fees and £6 of free shopping (which I would have bought later in the week anyway). Won't add until I get the money in my account as I don't know how much they'll take off in tax (it's TNS) but should be about £14 + mileage expenses :j

Not having much luck on amazon at the moment but have found a few things to pop on ebay tomorrow so will get those sorted.

Well done everyone - some pretty impressive totals out there so far :T

Still on 21p but this will hopefully change soon. I have a pile of stuff to list tomorrow on ebay. Thanks to this thread I have also thought of more things to dig out of the loft to ebay at the weekend (playmobil, lego, other toys/books and gcse guides)

I just got a cheque from freefivers. I had 'rolled over' till January so I got an extra pound I have also just ordered a voucher from pigsback which I can swap for the cash, so that is another tenner.

Is anyone else drowning under piles of stuff for ebaying/amazoning? I am! I can't find half the stuff I have listed, and am confusing myself no end as to what has been listed where..... I NEED MORE ROOM!!! :rotfl:

I took 16 DVD's and games to my local CEX shop today, got more for some of the DVD's than if I had listed on ebay. Made £39 altogether so that's me finally off the mark.
I would recommend trying CEX if you have one locally, saves on listing fees and you get the cash in your hand. You do get more if you exchange but I wanted the money.
They do have a website too that you can check the prices on, some are only worth 50p but others a lot more. If you want the web address just PM me.
