A late comer, can I still join please? I failed miserably last year, for a number of reasons, but need to save up £700 by September, to get back to uni (long story)

Please can i join? Im looking to pay off my debt by december and will find this thread so motivating!

I had a broken 9ct gold bracelet i sold yesterday for £17!! Not bad as it has been hanging around the house for the last year. Also got some things on ebay im selling- up to £45 so far:)

Has anyone used a cash for clothes company? Ive got piles of clothes that are not good enough to sell/charity.

Am a bit gobsmacked!!
Got renewal of home insurance and managed to get it £55 pounds cheaper on-line!
Crazy thing is, it was existing insurer's web-site!
They didn't seem surprised when I told them. I had to phone them to cancel renewal!
Have saved money doing this before, but never this much. Will wait till I get confirmation details and go over them with fine tooth comb before I add it to my total. :T

Exact same thing happened to me with car insurance! It just shows how much these companies rely on people being too lazy/uninformed to shop around - it's worth doing it every time! :T

Ahhh I've been failing at this the last 2 weeks, lots going on but I really need to get on it! I think this week I'm going to try and get some ebay listings ready and organised to go up on the weekend. Lacking motivation I think!

just listed 6 books on amazon..we shall see if they even sell!

other than that ebay sales are looking okay ishh... only 2 bids out of 10 but all have several watchers. ending tomorrow so we shall see if anything there sells...

surverys are going slow...seems no one wants to know what a 21 year old student of 1 child wants to know about their stuff! lol

to make my way to £2012 i am going to save the child support money DS dad gives me at the end of the month. £30 a week = £120 a month which he gives me at the end, so will be adding that as soon as i get it. hoping this will boost the savings! i wont miss it as i end up buying DS things he doesnt really NEED (such as expensive shoes) so will be better saved!

i will post my Jan savings once added all up at the end of the month so ill let yallllll know :0)

everyones doing fab and your all keeping me motivated!! kepp posting guys i love reading all.

Sherbie - it was Clipperty who is on fire, i was just wishing him/her well.

I on the other hand put so much on ebay, but only 2 items sold. Seems like i wasted my day :-( Never mind next free listing and it will be easier just to press relist.

Hi guys, not doing great here, had to dip into my savings somewhat, so I'm at around £295 now. Not too bad, I guess.

Anyway, I know a lot of people are bloggers and stuff, and I a lot of bloggers have blog sales, where they just list and picture all the things theyre selling, are there any forums or places online where I could do this? I don't have a blog, but it just seems so much easier to stick all the junk I'm selling in one post, and let people who see it have what they want/make me an offer.

Cheers

Another £2.68 to add from a T Price Check. Also had a few items end on eBay today so I will add those once they have been paid for a posted.
