** JUNE Make £10 a Day Challenge! All Welcome! **

franby64

Morning

Thank you Nat21luv for starting the thread and can I sign up for £5 a day please.

To start off I've got £4.51 from TCB. I haven't counted my coin pots yet but I've def got £20 in £2 coins. I need to go round the house and beg/steal/borrow any 20ps and coppers I haven't already laid claim to but I don't think there'll be enough for the bank bags. So total so far is £24.51/£150.

I will do some listing and relisting this weekend on eb*y - I was going to have a cull of my list but now I might as well send everything round one more time...

Good luck everybody for June.

ETA : YAY Bronze medal!! :j:j:j

Hi all

Nothing to add from me but wanted to get a bit more into the habit again of posting

First off Wowzers!! The Moneyspider - amazing win and chuffed for you :j:j:j

As i say at the mo. nothing to add but in the next few working days cashback will hit my account £22.50 le sigh! i've had about £200 cashback i've been waiting for the last 2 months - obviously from various places, last month i got a about £20 of it and the same again this month - just want them all to hurry up and pay up then i can get this debt down some more one big amount just seems better than the drips and drabs but of course i am happy to be getting any cashback in the first place :cool:

Also in next few days interest from savings will arrive in my account - almost £290 - sadly all owed out so not going off debt but as i've got this coming in i'm not increasing my debt either if that makes sense

Currentluy in the middle of sorting out all my clothes *gulp* doing it bit by bit though and hoping to get things to list on eb*y this way

Hope everyone is having a fun filled or a nice and chilled weekend whatever you have planned xx

Even though I generally sell a min of a carrier bag of stuff a week on ebay im still amazed by how much 'junk' i accumolate into my tiny flat. No wonder the place looks so cluttered. I have just taken pics of all my clothes I am selling. I've lost 3 stones with Slimming World so now selling all the clothes which no longer fit me. Thankfully my sister (who is a size smaller than me) is doing Slimming World with me so when i drop down a size she has been giving me her clothes that no longer fit her.
Something which I have been struggling with is guessing how much items on ebay are going to cost to post. I sold a pair of shoes on there the other week and charged 2.99 P&P and when i went to post it, it cost 4.70!!! Thats not counting the materials I used to wrap the item. Does anyone have any tips for guessing the weight of items please? I have some more shoes to sell and feel a bit cheeky charging a fiver for P&P. Unless I include the extra couple of pounds in the price.

and Mr and Mrs MSE are having a baby in November 2012, he didn't mean to blurt it out but did live on radio 5 yesterday

She is loaded in her own right by the way, she is a model and tv presenter and other things. She has her own twitter page, etc.

So between them, Baby MSE will be allright

Angel_Rachie, personally, I would not guesstimate the weight of things. In the last batch of ebaying I did, I got caught out too many time underestimating and lost a lot of money through sales that way.

Buy yourself a decent pair of scales, Tesco do some good ones, and weigh the item IN THE PACKAGING! it makes a difference! Then put the correct P&P on your listing.

If you want anymore ebay advice, pop over here, they are a friendly bunch and will support you

Hi and welcome to everybody new that has joined this challenge :hello: lovely to see new faces.

Don't be scared, and if you feel it would be too hard to make £10 a day, try a gentle £5 a day.

There are lots of tips and ideas on the first page, first post.

And if you are unsure of anything, please do not hesitate to post and ask questions. People might talk about things you have never heard of, and there may be others thinking the same way. It only takes one to ask and that will help a lot of other people

Sometimes there might not be someone around for a few days to answer but do not think you are being ignored.

I now work 4 days a week and have less time for MSE than I did, especially as my new job is a lot of hard work, very challenging :cool: by the time I get home, it takes a lot of energy to read and thank, let alone post!

I am also rethinking a lot of things in my life, restrategising and trying to redefine my money making ways. With DS getting older and starting school in Sept, I want to spend time with him, teaching, playing and enjoying him being little before he is too independent for mummy

This means weaning out the little survey companies etc and sticking with those that really make me money. And thinking about free cash sites, etc.

ok enough waffle about me!

Can I please be put down for £7.50 a day, failed miserably last month but really need to get some extra money from somewhere as I think we are going to end up with a massive over payment from tax credits to add to the one I am already paying back

nat21luv

So far there's 28 of us doing the challenge

Well done on the bronze franby

A NSD for me and £5 Halifax to add to the pot. I cant decide if I should be getting things ready for a car boot tomorrow or not, I have conflicting information from the weather man and the actual weather...it was supposed to be thundering and raining at 12 but haven't seen a drop yet. The rain is supposed to hold off tomorrow but my iPhone tells me it's going to pour and it's not usually wrong..hmm....
