Ok, I'm doing my own head in thinking of different ways to generate an extra £50-£75 per week, something home-based and flexible. My mind keeps coming back to a mini ebay business(selling what, I havent decided on just yet) Aaaargghhh! Anybody got any other suggestions?? :eek:

Afternoon all - gosh this thread is quiet... good idea for a challenge Elly!!!

I am 33, been married about 18months, bought house together but want to move somewhere bigger so trying to save for a deposit as debts all minimal - maybe other plans too but keeping fingers crossed for now!

have slacked off for a couple of days so am going to tidy up sig etc - look forward to hearing some more moneymaking idea

yukkibear

I'm 35, married for almost a year. Trying to either pay off the mortgage quicker or save to move to a bigger house (keep changing mind on that one).

oooh, great challenge elly! So I'm 30 this year, been with my wonderful OH for almost 10 years and we have an 11 year old boy affectionately known as the spud! We live in Hull where it's really not as bad as people make out, it's home and we're happy here! Am taking part in the challenge to pay off the last remaining bit of debt (£4,500 to go!) and with the rest I plan to take the family to lapland at xmas as spud will "be too old to believe" by next year he says! (he's also said that every year for the last 4 xmases!) and do some much needed decorating. I am now self-employed doing a bit of all sorts as the company I was working for went bust and there are not many jobs about anymore so I need to use the money wisely so we can live and get debt free at the same time.

It's going well so far and it's great to hear about everyone else, plesae let's not be so quiet this week, it makes me lose motivation and I need a kick up the butt with eBaying the stuff I can't sell on FB :S On the plus side, another cheque from zapper arrived, I sold our old projector and finally booked a prize win from last year, me and the OH are going to Miami for the weekend in April so that is something to really look forward to!

Here's to us all having a fab week and making loads of money, selling loads of old treaures and winning loads of prizes (if you're into comping!)

Much love x

Hi all.
I am also from Hull. I am 61 years young and have been married to the same person for 42 years lol. My two sons are both grown up 39 & 38 this year.
I have 2 beautiful grandchildren aged nearly 3 and 8 months. I am doing the challenge to get a new bathroom this year (I have a burgundy suite from the 1980s) so desperately needs updating. I would love to take all the family on holiday in the next year or so.
My eldest son is getting married this year and I would like to give them a really nice wedding present also need a posh wedding outfit (just need to loose 2 stone).
Great challenge elly
Rosie k
PS HULL is an excellent place and the people are very friendly. I don't know why we get such bad press.
