No 146 another £40 taking me to 4%

I have paid another £40 into my mums account from my paypal account so thats 4% paid. I done really well on ebay over the weekend.

I still have lots and lots of stuff to put on there so I will have to get organised. I put alot more stuff on last weekend so will see what happens this weekend.

I have been thinking would it be a good idea to list any items that have sold really well on ebay to help other members as they may have them at home. As sometimes I dont think an item will sell and you put it onto ebay and am really surprised by the amount it sells for.

Take care everybody

Decluttering

Hi everyone! Another £172.70 into my account today, this was a refund of a pension plan I had with my old work that I was advised it wasn't worth transferring due to the small amount. This makes up another 6% for my fund :j

At last calculation I need to save £165 a month to have my Uni funds sorted by next December, I'm feeling real confident that I'm on track for that goal, if I keep up at this pace I might hit my target early

Member Number - 93
1% = £25
Total So Far = 21%

Morning everyone!!

Thank you for adding me to the members list!! :j

Got 5 items on Ebay that end today... all have bids on them and they all have lots of watchers so fingers crossed for a last minute bidding war!!

Got a few more listed to end sometime next week so sales should hopefully take me to my first %.

Fab meal plan mrspoppy, thanks for writing it up here. I could always use a bit of meal inspiration! It's post 1267 for those that want to take a look!

not been on this thread for a while and have had a set back....Oh well, onto the next payment <sigh>.

My overdraft is also reducing, slowly but surely.
My 1% is £27 and I think my total paid is now 11%

Great to see you marching on after your set back! That's what it's all about! Set backs will always happen, except now you have the progress to make the difference.

i've made a few christmas hampers in the past, and quite enjoyed it, and wondered about advertising at work but don't really know how to price them or what profit to go for. Does anyone have any ideas?

I've made a few, they always tend to be more expensive to fill than you think! Maybe the first couple you could do at a set profit (e.g £10 above cost) then see if you can make the sales. Then once you know the demand is there, then you can focus on getting your costs down and maximising your profit from them.

just a question for everyone whos cashed in coin bags - i've got £4 in coppers now bagged up and ready to go. Do you just go the the cash desk in the bank and pay in? I feel a bit stupid paying in £4?!

That's almost a quarter of a percent for your goal isn't it It all adds up! :T

YES YES please do this! i have just done a major clearout, my wardrobe looks bare and i think is having a panic attack and i have never sold on ebay before so I would really appreciate this.

If i can make £196 before christmas I will make my DFD of December this year!!!!!!! :j:j

Afternoon.

Got £40 awaiting to go towards the CC (Ebay selling), its less than 1% but hoping to pay a further £25 (which together makes 1%) as an overpayment in November. Hopefully we will be at 13% of debt 1 then.

Need to talk to my Dad about repaying the loan for the car. It will either be 12 months @ £175 or 10 months at £210. Tempted to go for the 12 month option if Dad isnt bothered as its 0% so i can put more towards the other debts whilst paying the lower amount to Dad.

Unfortunately i havent got anything set aside for debt 2, the overdraft. Good news is though that hopefully once we are straight with a few payments at the start of November i may be able to pay off 5% or so (originally it was supposed to be 25% but we now need to pay dad a month worth of car payment and husband needs to pay £200 to someone he forgot he owed But 5% is better than nothing right

Will do some accurate totals after payday.
