Clipperty- you are doing so well. You must be delighted with your total so far.:)
I keep finding stuff to list on E*ay, found about 12 more things last night and already have stuff ready to list. Can't seem to find the motivation to do it. Ridiculous really as its money for very little work if it sells. Still nothing happeneng with current listings:(
I am new to selling on auction sites and I really worry about whether people will be happy with their purchase, people seem slow to leave feedback. I guess if they weren't happy I would hear about it straight away. Will try and list more stuff later. My paypal is my new secret savings account. I pay for cost of posting out of usual account, but leave it in paypal, just a little extra saving each week that I dont think about. We are going away at the end of may so hoping to use it as spending money.
Just realised thay if I am going to save postage in paypal,I need to add £34.33 to my total. A nice surprise🎄PAYDBXMAS21 #11 £11,300/£11300

I have made legitimate complaints to 3 companies recently, which is first time in my life thing. Two companies have been really fair, as I would still of preferred the originals to have been ok, but as money is too tight to mention this next two months I am not adding the replacement products to my total. Just eking out the pennies a bit more.
but good news is I finally saddled my horse and rode o'er the mountains in't snow to Ikea and got my refund on silly price cushions from December. What possessed me. And even better I only spent £2 of refund lol. If you are near ikea leeds and usually find the damit corner rubbish like I do, it is worth popping in. Lots of sofa covers for £1 and wardrobe inserts for £1, two of which clamped together will make my DD's new built in shelves against the chimney breast that I have been promising.

Been really slow recently, however have collected some things to list at the next ebay free weekend, and cashed out another £5 on swagbucks.
Also got a free snafax(student discount book) so that will hopefully save me some money soonThanks to everyone who posts competitions0 -
Another 11p found yesterday and £3.08 saved on my food shop. So that brings my total up to £334.70!

I think I'm approaching this challenge slightly different from others...
I'm not including supermarket offer savings such as BOGOFs etc as I dont see these as additional saving, I have always been a frugile shopper, always gone for offers and reductions - I will only use vouchers, coupons and loyalty points as these I do believe are additional money I would otherwise have had to spend.
I only include ebay profit ie once paypal, postage and fees are paid and I am also including any additional savings such as free magazine subscription, cashback, voucher code for discounts (deliveries etc).
Anyone else approaching it like this?£2014 in 2014£3,155.66 £20140
