Fairy's Magic Box Challenge May 2013

Yes i have yet another challenge 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??

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........
