  • Bit quiet on this one tonight? Are we all watching our eBay stuff! I can't leave it alone, sold an eBay item and 2 books on Amazon today, so now bust the first £100 marker! ;) Mrs Saveme says I'm obsessed and since I'm here on me own (by the looks of it) she may well be right!

    I'm off to watch the darts...... :D

    Yeah! Was given £35 earlier today for helping someone with training their dog which brings me over my target of £115 a week! :T:T

    Just worked out that if I succeed in raising the £500 a month needed for the challenge AND if I put it all towards my debts (two big ifs) I will bring forward my DFD by 15 months! :cool:

    So there's my incentive. Am going to go all out for this!

    Sold my first book on Amazon yesterday, so £4.51 profit there to add in. I wouldn't have considered Amazon without this challenge, so thank you all!

    We listed a few things on ebay yesterday, but I keep forgetting to put the MSE code in. Must try harder!

    Another mystery shop lined up this afternoon so a reasonable end to the week, challengewise. I just have to keep it going for another 25 weeks!!

    I just checked out eBay and there's 129 items on there from this challenge!! That's great... I was even tempted with a few items but I held back, I'm meant to be making money not spending it. :)

    Have yet to check-in properly on this thread....Was feeling a bit stumped until....

    Had a de-clutter at home last night and found 10 things to sell on ebay and 15 books on Amazon - 1 has sold already!

    Joined Pigsback and Quidco and am gutted I didn't do it sooner.

    Was accepted for a credit card that gives a decent amount of cashback. (Absolutely thrilled that my credit rating is now good enough for this. Not sure if I will count the c/b in the challenge though - I'm just chuffed, I used to dream about getting a c/b credit card when I was in debt.)

    I'm also re-reading matched betting threads but can't really act on this until I sort Internet access at home.

    Grand total of £10.25 :j
