Make £10 a day Challenge for October 2013

pinkneonmartini

hey guys I have been really struggling this month, everything has gone wrong that could go wrong, i'm looking at car repairs, i've had to buy a new bed, and the money hasn't been flowing in Atleast my new bed has come from a warehouse clearance and only cost me £210 and my old bed has been dismantled and i've kept the leather headboard, but my dad has taken all the slats and metal to build some stagings for his greenhouse waste not want not and all that

But I have been a bit canny, I got a bookcase off freecycle for work and the office gave me £30 as they were going to spend way more than that on a naff one

My mum gave a tenner for no apparent reason? lol but cheers mum!

And i've had £3 of expenses refunded

I've also put my sofa on ebay and am hoping to get arounf £50-100 for it, as my dad has given me his 30+year old antique chesterfield which i have had my eye on since birth

So only declaring £43 for now

Just a quick post to report £51.51 eBay profits from sales whilst I was on hols- need to sit down with a cuppa and catch up on the boards then shift into serious money making mode!!!!

On the plus side, I just got £24 of charges refunded from Capital One, should I count that towards my total? I got a bit tearful on the phone, I feel bad for the advisor but it's been such a stressful situation.

The downside is that I still have to get together £69 to pay them by the 23rd. I don't get paid till the 25th. Frantically eBaying everything...

Cutting up the card now...

Sorry to hear that purple.sarah

I've always wondered if there is / should be an MSE Ebay thread so people on here shopping could buy from those on here selling but I suppose some might not want to link their Ebay/RL Id with things they post on here?

I'd happily browse MSE user's Ebay items to see if there is anything suitable I need for Xmas etc.

Thank you.

That's a good idea but I fear it would fall foul of rules against self promotion or sharing personal information It would be nice to know you were helping fellow MSE user's while shopping.

Things are slow here, No bids on ebay items yet
speaking of ebay, for an easy image coming soon photo, google images has lots of pictures to choose from. Could be worth saving one in your images to use when your pushed for time or having problems.

Well done Hok3y on your daily roadkill finds, any idea how much you have found in total or do you not keep track separately?

At one point I was keeping track quite closely. All I know now is that it's well over £20 since Jan 1st (and I only count money I truly find on the street - if it's from the laundry/sofa, I consider it mine already and don't count it) but I'm going to start a tracker spreadsheet as of Nov 1st. I did have 2 additional finds yesterday evening but thought best to keep to myself. I also found 2 pennies this morning in Tesco. I have pulled coins out of muddy puddles before when you wouldn't think they would be visible. I've just gotten so good at looking for those perfect edges, which is why I could find what I did on a dark street last night - much to the amazement of my hubby!

Hi
50p found in car park machine.I have found money here before so always worth checking £4 egg sales from the wonderful egg laying ability of my gorgeous girls :T

Oh and most exciting a bid already on one of my listings and 2 people asking if I would do a BIN So might do quite well with 9 days to go :rotfl:
