    Debt-free and Proud!
    Just in from todays car boot and counted £59.50 new pennies to add to my wee pot for March :D and a couple more bits i'm hoping to sell on as well :D I really need to get my finger out with selling all these bits i have bought before they just get added to the room of doom :o

    I have a plan though - i'm putting £50 aside for my double money challenge (made up of some cash and the bits i have bought to make total up to £50) and going to see how much i can make it grow in March! Anything more i buy has to come out of this pot and the money from sales of any of these items goes back in. Will be interesting to see how it goes ;)

    Hiya, everyone. I just arrived on this site yesterday. I would like to have a try at this challenge. I am going to try for £5 a day to start with.

    £5 a day x 31 days = £155 for March, I think. If I am going about this wrong, please let me know.

    Thank You

    :)

    Well............my "double money" item did not sell for much more than I paid for it (boooh to the 16 watchers who did not bid! :p).

    At least I did not make a loss and managed a little profit of £1.03 after fee's and deductions. You can't win them all I suppose but I have had fun doing it. I plan to have a little nose around our local charity shops tomorrow in search of my next magic item!!! (will it be a chicken cosy or a rare "eraser"? who knows :D)

    Have made £27 after fee's as a lady called to collect some baby clothes earlier today. Also had 5 other sales so will work out profit and update later when I have got the kids to bed and attack the whole pack lunch / school bag / uniform prep etc etc.

    Hope everyone is having a productive day. It's quiet on here so assume you are all busy money making!!!!

    Car boot made £35.50 after fees etc. Quite pleased with that as it was bitterly cold and people were not interested in spending and that includes me.
    Ebay sales have yet to finish so I am keeping my fingers crossed but I bought some dolls a couple of weeks ago for just under £15.00 and already have a return of over £40.00 with several yet to list.

    So Ive not been around since I signed up for this but Im back online now

    I had planned on making a serious start to saving and budgeting as of the 1st but as always life gets in the way .This time in the form of my bed breaking :o ..

    So I went to our local refurbish / House clearance warehouse and managed to get a nice solid pine bedstead and even managed to get £15 knocked off the asking price :T

    My question as new to this make money thing ... Can that £15 off count towards my challenge ? pretty please ... I also found 35p under my old bed when I moved it

    I believe what the majority of people on this forum say is to only count it if your going to save it.

    I've had an awesome day today. I've made a total of £69.65. Thats from a mixture of MS, Shopitize and ebay sales :j:j
    Make £10 a day in May- £90/£150
