  • The month has started off quite well for me. I've finally relaunched my little jewellery shop that I run off the back of my blog, and in the first day I've sold 7 items. Should be around £40 made in all after fees and postage are taken off :)

    Mennie- thanks for the monthly update. That total is amazing.
    I,m hoping I can continue to make savings and stay focussed. I have promised myself a more spend savvy month. Finally feel like I am starting to take control of my money.
    I have got some birthdays coming up so will have to spend a lot there but I am still hoping to save a bit along the way.
    This month is going ok so far.
    My mum paid for something for the kids and saved me £42.20
    Bought some gifts online yesterday and saved £42
    Did a few hours extra at work, so thats another £31.15
    So a total so far of £115.35. Not a bad start to the month.

    Ok i need some eb@y advice, i have been selling things quite happily but its complicated to work out how much i make each time with all the deducting as p@ypal deducts from the postage and item cost combined. Does anyone have any good tips for recording eb@y sales so you can work out how much you are actually making?


    Check if this helps

    I know I'm a tad late but I'm going to join in with this. My only problem is I totally lack motivation but hopefully this thread and all you committed people will help.

    I plan on listing some items for sale on Ebay this week and once I've built a bit of a balance maybe give the matched betting a try.

    Just adding up my totals for feb so i can PM them.

    I made £24 points from superpoints alone this month, really surprised! Have a refferal code posted if anyone wants to PM me for one.

    Also had payout from onepoll so that helped, joined vivatic and almost half way to payout there so that should add up for march.

    Still looking for more little things to do daily to make my target

    Will update as soon as i have all my numbers

    Hi everyone

    I have only just signed up to this website but this challenge sounds like a great idea! And if I can backdate my savings I made £100 by switching my bank account to Halifax in February. It's a start I guess!
