£2012 in 2012

bettyanne6

Hi everyone....I'd also like to join this challenge. Towards the end of last year I started generating a little extra money by ironing every couple of weeks for a friend,having a couple of carboots,selling all manner of things from my house ...clothes,extension reels,playpens,toys,games etc on a selling group on facebook which is really good as no fees like Ebay!!! and also resurrected my knitting and crochet skills by making baby items and selling to friends and family.I started keeping a record of money generated but not as strictly as I could !!! but this way I will be more motivated as I really would like to clear the £7k credit card debts that were £11k for years ago but seem to be never ending!!!

You've got quite a lot of extra fonts and colour tags in it.

<font face="Arial Black"><font size="5"><font color="purple"><br /> </font></font></font></div><div align="left"><font face="System"><font size="3"><font color="Purple">Car Fund Saving - <br /> <font size="4"><strike>£372</strike>    <strike>£374</strike>                </font></font></font></font><strike><font face="System"><font size="4"><font color="Purple">£427</font></font></font></strike>    <font face="Arial Black"><font size="5"><font color="purple"><font size="4"><font face="System">£450</font> </font><br /> </font></font></font>

Suggestion - go to edit signature, remove the extra line at the top, highlight it all and change it all to black and all to one font, save and then go back to it, change it all back to purple and the font you want it to be, save and then you should have space for the 2012 info

What happened is when you add an extra bit to the signature, it adds extra font and colour tags and takes up your bb space.

Can I join in please? DH and I are working together and he has become obsessed with ebay (I think i need to check and see if he has put me on there yet!). I have been surveying and am trying to look for everything and anything else we can do.

Yay - woke up this morning to find three items have sold on amazon, which should give me about a tenner. And then I went for a walk and found £1 on the floor! Definitely a good start for me on the challenge!

I think that was my £1 - could you post it back to me please?

would love to do this challenge, as i could really do with saving this year and this is a doable amount :-)

I've decided I'm going to stash away any money I save with my student discount too, which should help the money add up a bit.
And I've signed up to TopCashback and I'm in the process of listing all the uni books I don't need any more on Amazon Marketplace, so hopefully they'll start to shift soon!
