Managed to grab a pine double bed on freecycle, was pretty chuffed with it until the lady arrived...she dumped a load of wood in my hallway and she and her partner walked off sniggering saying 'hope you need firewood'! So today I've been trying to put it together, I managed it in under 30mins(no instructions funny enough!) added a few extra nails to make it super sturdy and now I'm painting it ivory! Ill post a picture when I'm done, letting the undercoat dry then I'll start on ivory. If I pull this off that £60 I was willing to spend on a bed saved and I'll get the last laugh

Thank you very much for adding me Nat, quick question, do winnings count? I have had a DD for lottery online, which I've now cancelled (after adding up how much i'd spent over a year=ouch!) but on our final draw we won £25 on the +5 for last night.

I would have usually just left it in there to be used up on tickets, but this time I transfered it back to the bank:j

the rule usually is if you would use the money to pay off bills/debt/credit cards or put in savings, include it.

sorry but pain to reply from my phone, and it takes ages correcting all the spelling mistakes, I tend not to reply too much from my phone.

I've got a whole 50p to add from using a coupon, lol.


My mum got free tickets to see Elton John tonight!!! :T I could have gone but couldn't get a babysitter . So jealous, lol. I'm not a huge fan or anything but it just looks like it'd be a really fun night as I know everything that's been done in preparation (my mum works there so I got the insider gossip, lol).

Boo hoo. Guess it's studying for me tonight, with a break for Big Brother later. How exciting!

Need to go through postage receipts so I can put the actual postage costs into the column on my spreadsheet for the things I've posted in the last couple of weeks that I haven't added yet.
At least that will get me a bit further of the starting blocks, I'm still just teetering on the edge of it at the moment!!

Was thinking earlier as well, Fairyclicks - if you're around at the moment I remember you starting a challenge (there's a shocker in itself ) but can't remember exactly how you worded it, but it was a Double Your Money thing.
DO you still have it as a challenge on here?? I was thinking about it the other day as was buying a couple of bits to sell for a bit of profit, and I decided to set myself a little challenge of buying a few bits here and there that I think I can sell for double what I paid for them. Then I remembered about your challenge.
OH would go insane if he knew, as I'm still under strict instruction that I have to sell all the old clutter we have already before buying to sell! But he doesn't know what we have and don't have!!
I bought a baby sleeping bag on Facebook for £1 and sold it for £2.25 on Ebay a few days later, and when I was telling OH what was selling as the listings were finishing, he said "Good, glad that one's gone too as it looks like it will be too small now for DS2 so we wouldn't use it again"
It was the 'again' that got me, seeing as we've never used it, and he'd never even seen it before :rotfl:

Also sold a toddler T-Shirt on Ebay for £4 that I bought for 20p!! I know it's only small amounts we're talking here still, but I'd say that's a pretty decent percentage profit :cool:

I really like that challenge but instead of buying one item, doubling it, then using the money to reinvest, I find myself buying more little things and starting new challenges! My next challenge is the table and chairs I've bought off the ex for £35, I'm going to paint it and sell it for £100 I've bought a pine farmhouse table for £65 today, it's a steal seeing as they are going for £200 on eBay I'm not selling that though, wanted one for ages

How rude of them, i am please you managed to put the bed together though. I am looking for a new bed and you reminded me to post on my local freegle group asking for one. Unfortunately i cannot post for another week as its restricted to only one wanted add per week. I do not drive so will have to loan a van, luckily i know a reliable guy who will deliver freegle/freecycle items for a tenner.

also forgot to mention i have another booking for threading tomoro so thats another tenner :T:T:T
Kinda felt like last month i didnt see any of the money i made so determined to either save the pennies this month or spend it on something useful that i will actually use. I have put myself on a buying clothes ban for the next month so that should help things. Don't really 'need' any new clothes nor can i really afford them but when i make some pennies on ebay selling clothes i never wear it makes me wanna buy some new shiny clothes....which i will prob never wear and end up selling on ebay sigh viscious cycle. What do people spend their pennies on at the end of the month?
