Starting again, 1% at a time. 100 ways to make £80!

Very happy to discover 6/24 items have bids on ebay - all finish tomorrow so at least £68 so far meaning 3/4 of the way there to another 1% made and another square on my grid can be coloured in tomorrow (hopefully!):j

tmd - I have more or less stopped drinking over the last 12mths after being a wine drinker. Funny after a break how your taste changes so much and it becomes totally different and I thought ' I don't like this very much anymore so why am I bothering?' It's always a brew now for me, or a glass of squash! Oh the high life! Happily so too when I think about how much I used to spend on wine in the weekly shop - at least £15 extra a week. Would probably be more now if the prices have gone up

Hi everyone!!!

Also sending hugs to you Little Miss... I always say - when one door closes - another one opens... new opportunities... new people to meet... can be scary but keep believing that a new job is on its way to you...

Congrats to Happytails also!!!

Well survived my 40th Birthday and even resisted spending all my birthday money too!!! I managed to save some money on food this week and didn't have any spend days - that together with my presies enabled me to stash away...

Another 1% (£125.00) bringing my total to10%!!!

Yay!!!

:dance:

Congrats Happytails. Beautiful name .

I am have been doing ebay for a few weeks now and been suprised at how much things have sold for. An unused free No 7 lipstick which must now be a discontinued colour sold for over £7!

I suppose I really should decide on a target and officially join .

CONGRATULATIONS Happytails! Love love love her name

Little Miss really sorry to hear about your job - think it's a bad week for job losses as we were buying a house - but fell through on Mon as the vendor lost his job. Hope this is one door closed but another opened - maybe turning your thread and ideas into a book?

Congratulations Sarah/ happytails - you'll have to change your sig now Evelyn is a beautiful name, also very impressed at your continuous ebay effort. really should register.

How is everyones Christmas preparations coming along? Have been picking things up for a while as I spot bargains, I usually spend about £20-£25 per person with 5 people to buy for plus my sis's birthday its around £125-£150. So far ive picked up my sisters bday pressie for £25 but on earnt amazon vouchers, paid £6 for £22 worths of jewellery and make up. and another £15 and £12 on another couple with earnt amazon vouchers. Total cash spend so far = £6. Value of goods = £84.

Why I do believe that is another 3%

Thanks for the support Ellesbelles. I have considered putting a book of my money ideas together.

The support on this thread really has inspired me and I do have a lot of of other money systems and tactics that I have used during other stages of my finances that may help others too.

It wouldn't be for profit, the more people it can reach the better! If people found it useful maybe it would open a door into writing for me!
