    My sales on eBay have rapidly decreased lately so going to have a look at preloved/gumtree/ebid and see how I go.

    Anywhere else I can try? Most of the stuff is outgrown kids clothes or clothes I no longer wear etc

    Hi my daughter sells bundles of kids clothes on a local facebook page, you could see if there is one for your area and give it a try.

    Another 2% paid off cc getting there slowly.:)

    It's a bit labour intensive but you could try a car boot sale. Or for a smaller return you could sell them to one of those cash for clothes places where they buy it by weight.

    Mum has given me a bin bag of clothes she was getting rid of. Going to look through to see if i can sell anything and then go cash 4 clothes i think.

    We are out for a meal tomorrow. Luckily i have accrued some vouchers, free bottle of wine, 2 free starters and 2 free desserts that i can use altogether :) Apart from the meal, hoping to have a cheap weekend in.

    Although I have been a member for many years this is my first challenge:eek: I have read the posts and got lots of helpful info :T not sure these smiles are working!

    My challenge is to have more in my savings then I owe on mortgage. Currently pay 0.99% on mortgage, 3% less tax on savings. I know MSE encourage paying off, I think I am slightly better off this way and have no other cash savings at the moment!

    5900 outstanding + £100int = £6000
    1% = £60 to try achieve by 31/12/14

    I will be saving some of this from wages! hopefully I completed the budget planner show over spend so overhauled DD, haggled and cancelled DD, budgeted and need to look at boosting my income to achieve target.

    Ty
    From 6/6/14
    Road kill me = 21p monster=3p
    1% = £60
    £5 a day (1.47 so far this month :(
    Virtual sealed pot #172 £7.31
    136 MFW £384/5900 mort £23384:mad:

    Found a few bits to sell. Shame my Ebay sales are drying up Grrr.

    Got my £30 cashback cheque cashed, hits my account Friday. Also waiting on a further £25 cashback from quidco but unsure when that will process. Will keep an eye out
