Hi everyone,

I've had a rubbish weekend, me and my partner split. But on the plus I don't need a ps3 anymore so should get a few % selling that on ebay and all of our camping stuff. I'm gutted but the only thing I can do now is move on and concentrate on clearing these debts!

Will update as soon as I've made some %'s

Hiya all

Please could I change my target to £1000 (1% £10) to try and focus on one debt for now!

Just paid £44.03 off debt so that 4.4% so far!

So sorry to hear that Clairelg, but it seems like you've got your head screwed on and are trying to work past it. Really hope you're ok!

As for me, I'm slowly making the percentages. Very slowly lol. But I'm doing things which take a bit of time for the returns (such as Swagbucks, selling books and got another job) so hopefully it'll not be too long before the money starts piling up. On the plus side, I made £100 last week after fees on eBay and that was even without half my items selling!

Car boot sale is still pending, but I will get to one eventually

I think I need to join this! I'm off to uni at the end of the month having given up a full time wage to study to become a teacher. As a mature student it is seriously gonna take some getting used to not having a wage coming in!

I have about £1300 to clear (which includes an unexpected vet bill) and need to do this asap to make my monthly budget more manageable. Please can you put me down for a 1% value of £13.

Time to be really ruthless and find some more ebay bits. This is gonna be hard as decluttered loads over the last 6 months!

I aint managed to really make any thing yet. Got a couple things to list on ebay but wont be much.

Trying to find a car boot sale but as I have never been or done one I have no idea how to find them if any one can advise on that it would be great.

not really sure what else I can do to make money now.

Also thinking about selling off all my craft stuff, got a Big Shot thats only been used a handful of times so may as well sell it on for the greater good along with all my scrapbooking and card making supplies

I might be interested in the Big Shot and any dies? PM be with costs if you do decide to sell.

Hi guys!

Been away for a few days working on projects and have finally caught up, the list is all up to date. LOTS of percents earned, saved and paid off by all!

Welcome to our newest bunch of %ers!

LaughingLorna, TudorFan22, Debt Free Soon, Hmm, Tra, FunkyStarfish, Asoe209, EllieGibbo, PaintYourBox, Mummy2threeboys, LizH, Soxxxxy, Ellesbellesxxx, BargainBetty,Diana3564, naughty-yet-sorta-nice & Kaz665

There have been lots of new ideas on here for ways to save/earn that will be really useful for newcomers to the thread. I think I will create a new list of ALL ideas suggested so everyone can benefit and just look in one place to get inspiration for their own list.

Later on this week I'll go through the thread from the start and write all ideas down and will put it up on the first page. If anyone has a new idea to add to the list in future, please make it BIG and BOLD, it really helps!

I'm also going to write up a quick guide to getting started on elance.com as it really is a great way of having extra income.

I'm still in limbo with my 1%'s - really want to get a solid offer on my PPI refund. It could potentially be huge. Currently paying off 3% per week other wise. Really should be 4% but the PPI would put me way ahead!

Made a couple of other sales on fivesquids which is very pleasing!

Sorry to hear that claire, hope you are ok.

Well i received my £4.38 (lol) cheque from music magpie and im planning on listing some 99p start bids on Ebay later.

I got loads of Fimo modelling clay in the sale at staples the other month so im going to get crafting later and see if i can make anything worthy of gifting as presents for xmas to take my mind of not spending anything

My car got picked up by toyota this morning and they've given me a free courtesy car. Great seeing as ive 2 young kids and nearly 7 months pregnant with terrible hip pain so cant walk very far. FC they find out what it is and its covered under warranty. The husband has a cycle bike for communting to work, but he has knackered his legs somehow and ive been running him to and from work which has been adding 16 miles minimum to my daily petrol usage :(hopefully he will feel up to cycling again soon as it saves us a fair bit.

We had to take our ducks back to the farm we got them from yesterday, a bit but they were just too loud and i didnt want a complaint to the council causing us to take the chooks back too, which are really quiet. Trying to stay positive, its 2 less mouths to feed Weve just got the 5 chooks and the dog now.

Anyone got any predictions of when the next free listing day/weekend on Ebay will be? x
