    Motivation lost
    I am on holiday this week so have decided to try and earn 10 points/10p/10c on each website.
    This will be easy on some and harder on others so fingers crossed, lol

    Car boot completed this morning - managed to make £80 profit after entry fee. I also sold an old iPod for £10.50 this week so I just shy of £400 in total. I also have lots more space in my wardrobe now!

    Ebay items are ready to go, they are all photographed and boxed up ready to go. I will hopefully be able to sell my 10 items in the next two weeks.

    Getting there, slowly... :j

    As I started this at the very beginning of March I am 1/2 way through my time, almost at 4k! I think I will end the year at about 6k as I have some holidays coming up so won't be earning so much in October & November.

    Hope everyone else is doing well, made over £500 this month so far! Pushing for £600 before the end of the month :)
