Woohoo!! 23% to declare!!!!! :j Most of my Ebay bids ended yesterday. i still have a few ending today that have bids of £13.39 so far. Which is just over 1%

Everything that didnt sell has now been relisted for 99p except 1 pair of shoes which will wait until free listings day/weekend. Then add the £100 we pay on payday each month thats another 11%

The good news is on payday we will have paid mum a minimum of £321 (35.66%) (my earnings on Ebay plus the £100 a month we normally pay) :T Feeling pretty smug about that

February, however, is going to be hard as we have to put £300 just over to HMRC for tax so im not expecting to do so well. So Feb wil be the month i list EVERYTHING we spend and do in a diary and actively try to keep costs down so that we might have money left at the end! Ive 3 birthdays to buy for and my daughters birthday and her party (£75) in Feb. Need to plan i think!!

Swapped energy provider yesterday. £50 cashback in 3 months and slightly cheaper per month (£2) but no cancellation fee. The best deal i found was £6 a month cheaper than the first one but no cashback and £60 cancellation fee before Feb 2014 so actually worked out more! Used the MSE recommendations

Fundraising - balloon race, raffle, summer fair (activities/games like splat the rat, coconut shy, throwing et sponges at adults etc, cake stall, tea/coffee, bouncy castle, bric a brac stalls, tombola etc). Get to know the parents and any skills/contacts they have. We did a balloon race last year and only found out on the day of the launch that one of the parents could have supplied the helium for free! Also, a sponsored anything - hike, silence, fast, swim, walk etc.
Slave auction if the kids are old enough or adults will volunteer. Get people to bid for things like free babysitting, grass cutting, dog walking etc provided by the cadets or other volunteers.

Hi all

Hope you're all busy racking up the %'s I haven't been onto this thread for a while so thought I would check in!

My %'s changed slightly - instead if using it to have a 5grand house fund I instead decided to use it to pay off the rest of my debts and my O/D. So I am up to

18%

But that has been mostly eaten up already but as you can see from my sig below my debts are pretty much all gone (or they will be in a weeks time when I get paid next)!!!!!!!

So I will do some sums once that's happened and report back with a new target and %!

Hope you're all well

Ah the magic of VERY so glad I got that paid off quickly the interest was killing me - so I think you're sensible to start on that one!!

Oh and hello by the way :beer:
