  • I'll mail them both again on Monday then I think, just in case they've posted a payment 2nd class post and it comes either tomoz or Mon morning.
    Oh well, if I do have to relist (they were the only ones to bid on them so no 2nd chance possible) at least I might get more for them next time round!!!! :D
    Ever the optimist!!!!!

    Let's hope it all works out for the best MM.

    I have £24.33 to add to my total - found a great matched bet with same odds to match and lay so will get out £24.33 of the £25 free bonus whoever wins the tennis match later! :T I love matched betting! :D
  • Oooh year at kew just starting has reminded me...I have saved money today! I rang my mum earlier to give her an update on the new school and she's offered me her seed potatoes as she's got too many for her garden...saves me about a fiver as I dont have to buy my own now!!!
    Oh and anyone doing veg gardening this year...mum said wilkinsons are doing either half price or bogof on their seeds, cant remeber which she said but it equates to the same saving!!!
    Cant add it to my total tho cos I'm not growing veg for this challenge! I planned my edible garden at the end of last summer!!!

  • Hi - I want to join in but I'm a bit confused! :rolleyes: Do I just count money/funds I've made e.g. ebay, pigsback vouchers etc...or can I include money i've saved e.g. advantage card savings, tesco grocery savings etc???! :confused: Sorry for being dim but I need an aim to keep motivated!
    Thanks :A

    Read 1st post and hopefully that will make it clear - basically you set your target and then try to make that money by extra work, selling stuff, saving in a variety of ways (some have sacked cleaners and are now doing it themselves, others have moved their children's schools!!) the only stipulation is that you don't include and bank charges refunds or normal wages/cash you earn)
    HTH and good luck

    Well i've managed to sell a few bits and pieces on ebay £7.60
    Also got paid for the extra 2 hours i did in my second job so thats another £7.50
    Also found some more money £5.75

    That brings my total to £21.30 :j

    Feel better that its now in double figures instead of just pennies!!!

    Not sure what i should do with it. Should i just put it into a savings account or should i pay it towards one of my credit cards and just keep a running total of what i would have had if i'd saved it???

    Excluding normal wages/cash I earn shouldn't be a problem .... I'm a student!
    Ok ... count me in - I'm going for the silver challenge! :D I'm off to organise my signature!
  • Just been checking out the Ebay sales with the code and one of us is selling some constipation remedies........now thats one sure fire way to get your sales (and everything else) moving!!!! Sorry, it just tickled me that's all!


    Today I aim to get a big bunch of things ready to list on Ebay tomorrow. My stagnant total needs a bit of a boost (perhaps I need those constipation remedies!!)
