    I have a few double money things going on now :D

    One poll account now at £21.50 but missed a few days of checking it so hopefully that will speed up again now.

    My Zopa account i still want to get to £1000 - its sitting at £686.25 today. I have only had interest going on to this for quite a while but now i'm hoping to be able to add a few £ to it again as well - so that one will speed up too :)

    Finally, with the charity shop stuff i have given myself a budget of £50 and have an account now only for these purchases and sales - target is £100 obviously and i have already purchased the first set of goods :D

    Nice job :D well done!!! it won't always be possible to double but thats what makes it a challenge :D and its good to aim for i think!

    Good luck on the vintage piece - i'd love to get into that area myself with furniture and do it up but just have no room lol!

    I'm managing to double money on some bulk buys atm - cushion covers and ribbons - doubling the cost of each item when selling on but not sold that many of each yet so will have to wait and see how it goes for them long term ;)

    Not sure I can get furniture as my car is too small :D will see if I can get clothes though, they sell them at £1 an item. Not the cheapest but good stuff normally, people can't be bothered to sell it/give it away so chuck it. Fingers crossed I find something good :D
