Not sure what discussing a blog could add that isn't covered on the thread.June challenge £100 a day £3161.63 plus £350 vouchers plus £108.37 food/shopping saving
July challenge £50 a day. £ 1682.50/1550
October challenge £100 a day. £385/£31000 -
Don't feel as if you have to sell everything. People make very silly offers at the end of the day to get a bargain. I always refuse by saying 'i'm not that desperate for money & it will sell next time'
Take pegs to hold down the plastic sheeting when it rains, camping chairs, coffee & LOADS of small change. Keep your large notes separate from the rest so it doesn't go missing when you pull it our of your money belt.
