Hi everyone :wave::wave:

Not been on here for a couple of weeks. We have had visitor after visitor staying and little person started school so not had time to do much else. Missed getting on with the challenge.

I'm still at 23%. Will get ebaying again this weekend and looking into other options.

Hope everyone is well

I have decided I'd like to get on TV and try my luck on a game show. Others seem to do it without any noticeable brainpower. My mate has told me to join beonscreen.com website and download 'Get On TV and Win Big Money' on Amazon. What's to lose?

The september/october Tesco magazine (free instore) has a section on money saving and making. Probably nothing that new in there but might have some inspiration....

Sarah - was thinking of washing it but it's still got tags on. Do you think I should wash it and then I can't sell it as BNWT but it won't smell, or just air it outside and list as BNWT but explain the listing that it smells of smoke? I'm not sure what is best.....

Maybe try airing it first, or febreze? Any chance you can return it? Sarah x

I randomly came across this article on making money by selling your hair today when I was researching pensions of all things! Seems you need to have at least 10 inches worth to sell, but it might be of use to someone:

Hi all, I'm just wondering when you do a carboot what sort of money do you take with you for a float ? I've got about £20 in 10's 5's 20's 2's 1's but I don't have any £1 or notes yet... what would you suggest? Thank you x

Hi everyone,

Do you mind if I join please?

As you can see from my sig, we owe £10,536.60 so my 1% is £106 if I've worked it out correctly...We are looking to be debt free by the end of next year but hopefully sooner with the motivation of this thread!

I'd air it outside first and then see how it smells-I have in the past sold items BNWT that had a 'stored' smell-after half an hour or so blowing outside they smelled really fresh-customers happy too.
If you have any lavendar bags/similar (I have made loads of these), you could still hang the garment outside and pack it with a small fragranced bag/sachet (as a free gift)
