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

Thanks Jammy It's only the first months I've tried it with a whole month meal plan in hand. I was horrified at spending £110 but then I realised that I have almost everything to make the 30 or so meals on my plan- so my weekly shops should only really be top ups. Will report in at the end of the month and let you know how it's gone!

No more % for me yet but getting some stuff on the dreaded Ebay today. I was off to a flying start but in such a can't be bothered mood with it today. However, must press on!

Have a lovely Sunday everyone

Just found 10p on the floor. Not sure if I would have picked it up normally but I was thinking of my %. Up to 4% now through some little bits of surveys, ebay, quidco and topcashbck.

45 listings on ebay. Crikey. Think I've done enough for a little while, my head is starting to spin, plus OH keeps wandering in and going 'Have you done my website?' - the entrace to my little den is opposite the stairs though so I may be needing someone to help me hide the body soon! I'll give anyone that helps a % :P

Hello! I'm new here but have been lurking loads! This is a great idea and I'm really feeling enthusiastic about it

My 1% is £24, need to get rid of that overdraft for once and for all! Can I be added to the list please?
Made £63 at bootsale this morning so nearly at 3% already and I've listed a couple of things that didn't sell at the carboot sale on ebay, seeing as it's free.

I recently found this thread and today I have read every post from the start. This thread had got to be one of the most inspirational threads I have read, good luck to everyone with their %s!

Hi everyone,

Well I am one happy bunny as the craft fair today was absolutely amazing. The sun shone, the crowds were out and really friendly and best of all, I sold loads of things and bagged a profit of £337 - result - thats a whole 11%!!!!!!

So first thing tomorrow I am off to bank £362 (made up from craft fairs and other bits I have found lying around the house and claimed!). Wont update my totals until I have actually paid it in and transferred to savings account but when added will boost my total by 12%.

Well done everyone on your efforts xxxxx

Craftingmad that is fantastic! The sun shining makes all the difference! I have just sent off an enquiry to my local council about getting a stall on the Christmas Fayre. Never done anything like this before but nothing like jumping in two feet first!!! Love craft!!!!

*sigh*

Need to revise my amounts.... Got a £75 fine for littering so that is coming out of my 110...leaving me 35... so that's still 6%

Have also got around £20 in pp, so that's another 3%, so I'm back up to 9%.....have got about 30 items on there and some still need to be paid for, come on bidders pay me!

Well I made my 1% of £45 but I'm having to use it on other things at the moment but it's kept me from going deeper into my overdraft and over the dreaded -£2500 limit where the daily fee doubles

Relisted a load of last weeks unsold eBay items but I'm
Too pooped to bother listing any new bits now. I found my blade less razor that I'd sold so got to package that up and get it in the post tomorrow

Got a few bits I've had my eye on online to get for the baby so going to see what my pp balance looks like I think. (got 1% being in the process of being withdrawn from there ATM so not all is lost at this late stage of the month)
