Roll call time. We're at the half way stage of the £2014 in 2014 challenge now with 6 months gone and 6 months left to have a final push.
Please INBOX me with your current running total as of today (30 june 2014).
I will be sending ALL members of the challenge a message for this one so hopefully people will see this and start joining in again.0 -
Thanks Callie, the extra money is to due their incredible design tools, I can't code to save my life or organise shopping cart software, and it's all included in my fee, really happy with the result.0

This may sound odd but I'm feeling a bit lost on this challenge - I know I've achieved it (!!) but I have done so by moving house and selling my previous home for (relatively speaking) significantly more than I paid for it.
This feels like cheating!
But the money is in the bank so I know I've done it. I'm certainly not going to stop there though - like I said, I feel a bit lost because it doesn't feel like I've done this "properly". Just put in for yet more overtime with more still to come, and as we gradually unpack things post-move, there's going to be a massive eBay purge very soon.
Kick on!:T0 -
So far I have had 2 replies to the PMs I sent out and I've added MissRarr to the completed challenge list (well done

I am up to £1016 a little bit behind on the half way point but haven't done any market research for a while and my eBay items are not selling very well at the moment. I have a lot of books to sell and I am having to relist and relist because I am not willing for them to go for next to nowt! I have tried advertising on Amazon never done it before but it seems a bit complicated! Don't even know whether they are advertised now even!
Off to look at the market research company website :rotfl:Competition wins £14,136.30[\COLOR]0 -
