    made another £13 last night after postage :) and my hair cut today was £4 less than what i budgeted for :T but we had indian tonight. food shopping tomorrow!! we have nothing in!

    Hoping i can spend the evening sewing and being productive (relisting Ebay items) Ive already gone through the toys and dug out some bits to sell/charity before Xmas. Very aware that with 3 kids under 5 and one of whom's birthday is on the 27th Dec we will be bombarded with toys and books etc lol

    Tomorrow will see us empty the cars of crap and do a charity and a tip run! I will also aim to list 10 things on Ebay tomorrow.

    Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend x

    I've just divided my massive loan repayment plan into 1% chunks. I'm in for the long haul on this one but the plan is in place to pay it off. Not quite a 1% yet but almost.

    Relisted on fleabay again tonight and see what sells tomorrow and relisting again.

    Made approx £30 on ebay this weekend after fees and postage taken out at £25. Still 12 items off to new homes so that's a good result. Almost up to 1% made about £3 off.

    Relisted everything for another week and see how they get on.

  • Forgot to take my bank card with me when I went shopping today. Fortunately realised before I got into the shop otherwise might have been more than a little embarrassing!! :eek: Had a bit of cash in my handbag so decided to just get essentials rather than do round trip to go back for plastic. Am amazed at how much less I spent and how much really didn't seem that essential when push came to shove. Am seriously thinking carrying cash only might be the way to go to free up some spare dosh for this challenge!! :T

    Hi everyone!

    Got about £40 from sales over the past week and a half! Relisted all my eBay listings but didn't get any more listed :/ Hopefully I'll get a few sales. Might just list everything cheap at 99p this week. At least if it sells I'll have some more space for Xmas!

    Got ill clingy children today so not sure how much I'll get done! X

    Posted eBay sales today, made £40 last week once fees and postage have been taken out which I'm pleased with as it means I'm off the mark with 1% made for the loan settlement project.

    2 items on there this week have bids on so that's a very good start to the week.
