Fairy's Magic Box Challenge March/April

fairyclicks

Yes i have yet another challenge :rotfl::rotfl: what can i say i'm a challenge fiend

This one is the latest in my attempts to help me clear out my house of junk and make a few pounds in the process, basically combining my 2 favourite pastimes atm - well its all about energy efficiency these days isn't it?? :idea:

Ok so my plan is to have a box which helps me to make things disappear (hence magic box challenge ) I put the things into the box and then see if i can get rid of them by selling via online sites, car boot sales, to friends and family etc etc any way i can think of really.

I want to give myself a time limit to get rid of stuff or it will still be sitting here next year and i think i can do 100 items in a month......

If you want to join me, its up to you how many things you want to add to your magic box for the month. You can also choose to write a list of items to work on or that you have vanquished if you want - i will do this so i can keep track (i'm easily confused ) and to help motivate me (i love crossing things off lists )

Don't forget guys that you can do the challenge without writing a list of whats in the box (thats just my way of trying to keep track of where i am) feel free to write it whatever way suits you cos i know not everyone has the time that i have to do this.

Alternative ways:

You could just number your items:

1.
2.
3. sold
4.
5.

just list things you have sold

today i have sold:

6. a.
7. b.
8. c.

or just count up the things you have sold

now at 5/50 sold

or you might have your own way i'm not strict you know



I will keep the next post for names and challenge totals........

great stuff and welcome to the challenge miwa would you like an overall target number added to the list of challengers page? I have a target of 150 items to get rid of by the end of april :eek:.

are you trying to sell your cds on ebay? if they don't go on there you can try trading them in too
