    First item listed for sale. Took me ages, hopefully will be easier next time now I know what I'm doing. Fingers crossed it sells.
  • Up to the grand total of £2.06 which is rather depressing when £2000 left my bank today! ahhhhh rent! :(
    I WILL GET THERE.
  • £29.99 from eBay received
    £4.14 nectar points so far
    £20 Presso voucher received after complaining last year
    £22 due to be paid from quidco
    And twenty items listed on eBay!!!

    Good start... But this is a 365 day MARATHON, not a sprint!!!

    So £3,900 from now until the end of August? Just under £500 a month isn't too bad really, granted it seems like a lot but wait until you're out of university and trying to rent a place...

    Shame they ask for so much upfront though :/

    Well done frugal, nothing wrong with a little sprint in each marathon :)

    Lets forget about the £2700 I paid in September lol. It works out £159 a week but all bills etc are included :).

    - Plus I live alone! Little studio flat :) Not many students can say that
    I WILL GET THERE.
