The 1% Challenge - 100 ways to make your 1%

jojitsui

I have missed the free ebay listing but I have had a nice weekend catching up with family and friends so I am not too disappointed. I am selling an old phone and even with 2 hours to go I have already made 10% of my total. Fingers crossed I will get a few more bids before it ends. As soon as the money is paid I will be transferring it along with an extra £40 from paypal and have money in my "saving tin" so I will be able to pay off 30% I am sooo excited I am nearly peeing glitter

Well done you two!! Ive got a £10 bid on one of my items already! And sold something on FB for £4

I could have listed so much more but weekend was mostly spent doing jobs in the house that needed doing etc which took up alot of time. Glad they're done though.

Today im taking up o2 offer of a free hi vis vest from halfords and a free coffee from caffe nero

Need to get my sewing machine set back up today to finish labelling school uniform (6 weeks late!).

I read that as edible marker and had to remind myself what was being spoken of, think I need breakfast.

I'm taking my pennies from my savings tin and emptying them into my savings account.
Im doing both the 1% for paying off the £209.00 for my tablet and 1% challenge for reaching £3000 eventually which is a bigger sum of £30.

The only reason why I am doing it both ways is because the money from the tablet Repayment would go into my savings account anyway.

Another bid, £4 this time, total of £14 on Ebay so far this week

Off to sort car insurance out now, then its tidy and be productive at home until i pick DD up from school x

Happy happy!

Hi all,

I'm still here but been without internet connection for what seems like ages :mad: I've still been doing the challenge though - promise

Just trying to catch up on thread and work out what I have already declared and then will update soon

Well done everyone on your progress :T

Hi craftingmad! It has seemed quite quiet on here as of late. I assume everyone is busy or drifted away from the challenge. I hope not, its really helped me!!

Just had to call Tesco as my delivery had a substitution which i declined and they were supposed to refund £6.50 to my order before they took the money off my card but they didnt!! so had to call up today and they are refunding it now - its things like this i wouldnt have checked in the past!!

Need to check the bank and my budget and make sure things are in the right places after i sort my whining baby girl out, not sure what is wrong with her

Arrggh! Debt still going up and still no income :eek: Have my 100 squares ready to go, just need to start work so I can figure out how much I owe with debt at its peak. Loving this thread, just can't wait to get started

I have pay day on Tuesday so I'll give an update then. Hoping to knock off another 2% or possibly 3%
