2007 Olympic Challenge (Part Two)

Karmacat

Hi keren, welcome - I don't *think* there's a list - there was, actually, but that was kind of ditched. Race you for the bottom - I haven't done any of the big things that others have done, so mine is kind of pitiful in comparison, but big for me. Hope you get to £1,000! Are you experienced at selling on ebay? I just don't have the confidence that anyone will buy my tut at a price worth the fees and the postage.

I feel like part of the ebay furniture. I've been a member since 1999!!! Before ebay UK existed and payments were all made in cash - usually in dollars....aah, the good old days!!

Just dabble now, but I have an exploding wardrobe of clothes, some still with tags on so I'm going to see how I get on.

Won't get anywhere near the £1000 in the 5 or so weeks left, but it will be a good way of motivating myself tohave a clear out.

I do bits and bobs of mystery shopping as well so I'll take whatever is offered rather than the cherry picking I've been doing recently.

Matched betting is the thing I'm going to look into.

Me too! Also remember paying in cash and posting money orders to the US for goodies... I now have 445 feedback but that's because I don't buy that much...

Fingers crossed I can update sig tomorrow with some more savings

I've done a big fat ZILCH this week for the challenge. I really need to sort myself out and give it some welly to get to my goal but I started a new job a few weeks ago and it's knackering me! I love it though, so at least I'm happy now :-)

Anyone got any ideas for a final push? I'm sick of ebaying - so much that I'm giving everything away on freecycle!

I joined the challenge last month (April 1st) Keren, it is more than possible to make bronze in the time left. Go for it with Gusto I say. I know I am :beer:

Managed to add £38.81 to my total today, fingers crossed for more tomorrow. As well as the normal savings, I am also putting away £1, £2 and silver coins, which are not in the total. Closer to the deadline I will get those counted up to add to my total for a final push...

£25.00. Found an old greasypalm cheque I'd forgotten I have!

I completely agree with being sick of Ebay - i've done it to death and also had a lot of things not selling so took a whole load down to the charity shop. I could have done a car boot but just can't imagine actually doing it and the stuff was getting me down! I've done nothing over the last few weeks to add to my total, and I'm so close to the end now! Really want to get there, but I think this will be the hardest amount to get! I'm still doing pigsback and am nearly there now for another £10 so hopefully that'll come soon and I can add that on!

So you're not alone!
