    Hi everyone

    I have sold £52.03 worth of stuff on Ebay this evening so that will boost my total. I didn't go to Cex at the weekend but I will get there next week sometime.

    I've got a load more stuff to Ebay but I haven't had the time today so will put it on Tuesday for 5 days.

    Need to find a new way of making money - will start the matched betting thing off again soon.

    Keep going everyone :D :j

  • OH NO, I am so far behind. I have been so busy at work that I haven't got anything on ebay yet! I am going to have to play catch up this week. Going to do a few 10 day listings on Thurs night I think.
    I have got £6.80 on pigsback though!

    I have just tried trawling through all the posts, but there are so many? Hpw is the table being compiled, how do we submit our totals?
    Thanks BB x

    I had to do that yesterday because my FMIL bought one of my lots!!!
    If you go here http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/questions/endlist-now.html
    and scroll about halfway down the page, there is a link to the End Listing Early form. You have to have your item number.

    Bronze Challenge Total - £331.23
    Weight loss challenge: target 1 stone, currently 3 lbs.
  • Just checked my e mails and stunned to find that the DVD I listed on Amazon yesterday evening has sold :j

    I had never even considered this route for a little extra cash until reading about it on this thread so thank you to all who encouraged me to try it. I have also listed a few books but no takers as yet. Unfortunately I have very few DVDs. The one I sold was free (collecting tokens at Odeon cinemas) so it is REAL PROFIT :j :j

    Also found £1 in the washing machine this morning. Told DH about it as it is almost certainly his - he asked if it would count towards "this challenge you keep mentioning" and when I said yes he told me to keep the pound. And I thought he wasn't listening to me :D

    So a great start to the 2nd week on the challenge though nothing to rival MonstersMummy

    Hope everyone else has a good week. Looking forward to seeing the first week's total.
