Morning All -
Jo - *giant wave* had the same thought can't believe that it was 2 years since the first one either. Sometimes it still feels like yesterday.

Enchantica - Let me know how you get on with GiffGaff I was thinking about using them for a business line as I want to make sure that I have a work life balance. I sometimes feel a bit ambushed when clients call my mobile phone.

As for me made my to do list yesterday night, I am a being a bit of a procrasitinator but I know it is because it is a really big project that I am quite passionate about, and I don't want to fail. So, I will be cracking on with that.

Just have a few more listings to put on eBay - and happy that the sewing machine is getting so many offers.

So, yup very excited but nervous at the same time Here goes

Helpful link: Found a site called Storemates, if you have space at home you can rent your space to others for Storage to make money, see the site here: http://www.storemates.co.uk/index.html

Dilli - *waving right back*!!
Thanks for that link. I was looking round it and found another link that will be really helpful for a different project of mine (non moneymaking). Yay - so only one post in and the power of the dribble wins through!!

An update from me...

Been really motivated since I started the challenge. I have sent 3 big blue ikea bags full of stuff to the charity shop, started filling a box up to send to zapper when I have finished going through my books - at £20 worth at the moment, have 20 items listed on my private ebay with 3 days to go and 13 items have bids, have been putting my £1 a day in the pot and I have worked my socks off stocking up my Etsy shop which I have had 1 sale from so far for £9.

One of my unwanted Christmas pressies has gone in the Zapper collection and also sent a couple of other unwanted gifts to the charity shop.

I am now working on sewing more Etsy and Ebay stock and will find some more clothes to list on the private ebay this weekend.

I am going to update my total on my sig at the end of each month when I have added everything up

Hi all,
Not done much on the earning front yet but I'm hoping to sell a phone on ebay this weekend for £60+ and I'm booked in to sell art prints and cards at a vintage fair next month (I had better get drawing) I think I'll set up a folksy store aswell and re-vamp my website which is wofully out of date and currently has now shop. I'm also going to be starting a new blog with another artist for our vintage/burlesque inspired designs and this weekend I'll be having a ebay listing binge and selling my beloved purple ipod.
I'm also in the process of moving my loan onto a 0%cc which will save me about £200 this year

Full steam ahead, good luck everyone :beer:

OK, still at the planning and preparing stage, but ready to go and full on list on ebay this weekend. Also a lot of the craft things are coming together, another week and I should be ready for Etsy. I am plodding on with surveys, and am doing the postcode lottery. Also started to write some reviews ready to try out dooU, have read through lots of reviews to get a taste of what people write/like and this weekend I start to post.

I have got my pot for my £1 a day savings (not starting till Feb as I had to pay car tax this month and I am skint day by day already, so every £1 must buy food/petrol etc.

Mood - still hopeful

Another good day today, the man from fox recycling came and took the masses of old clothes in bin bags that I could not be bothered to car boot, there was 20.3kg and I got £10.30 they even came and collected it from my house for no extra charge! I had another 2 FB sales totalling £13 and am waiting on someone coming later today and another 2 arranged for tomorrow (if all goes to plan that's another £55! My vintage vinyl clocks are now on display and for sale in my local music shop for £22.99 (of which I take £15) and after what seems like forever since I submitted it, my article was published in the Daily Mirror today (on page 46 for those who are interested) and I have been informed that my cheque is in the mail next week!

I also am giving some quotes for writing press releases and doing some online marketing for a couple of people from various forums and I also responded to an ad for someone to write a press release and do some SEO and may have a monthly blog-writing spot for the company if they like my work! It's all been happening fast but most of all I am becoming more positive about this each and every day! I am even adding to my spreadsheet as it happens as I can't wait until the end of the day now!
