    I did the cash4clothes thing, and had a few bits on ebay and the old Music Magpie trick. So far, guarantees of £37 - so my 1.5% is in the bank!

    A mate has asked me to do some paperwork for him in exchange for dinners and a trip to the pictures. All money saved will go to the pot!

    I've just done my calculations and I'm up to 7% :j
    • £100 from ebay
    • Dad nicely gave me £50
    • £17 for two old outdated textbooks on FatBrain
    • £31.78 from GlobalTestMarket for surveys!

    First pay day from my second job on Thursday (if my asst manager hurries up and gets me on the system!) so I'll be able to update again then :)

    Best of luck on your 1%'s!

    Happytails, did you get charged any listing fees? I started to list some stuff last night & it told me the listing fee, usually when it's a free listing weekend it says free, you know on the final bit where you confirm the listing& accept the listing fee?

    Needless to say I got in a strop, threw my toys out the pram & did my Music Magpie stuff instead!


    Are the free listing weekends open to all, except eBay shops?


    Thanks!

    Nope was free to list everything on a basic auction, no buy it now etc

    Hiya all just checking in to see how everyone is doing, I see everyone is making progress, i am currently on 3% but i have a cheque on its way to me (recommended someone to the same garage that i bought my car from!) and that will take me up to 5% when i cash it and pay it in!! Did a carboot sale at the weekend and made £20, so ill add the other £5 to that and then ill be up to 6%!! Only made £20 as i shared a stall with a friend as well as running my two other stalls full of lovely cushions!! (my business).

    Ill update again when ive got the final amounts paid in! I can't wait to mark them off the chart!! :T

    Bit behind, but can I get in on this?

    My 1% is 19.67, mainly because I'm doing 1 debt at a time :)

    Looking forward to getting to know people better. Was a regular member few years back but I seriously need the help now....
