    Im up and running :j did a car boot sale today and came away with £58.52 profit :T didnt get the rabbit cage and run sorted and it is raining again so that will have to wait till the good weather. DD is taking some costumes into dancing today to sell second hand so that will hopefully bring my total over £100 this week. I am aiming for £100 per week as with holidays that should bring me in on target. Sorted out a few things to put on ebay but will have to wait till tomorrow as I need to check the postage on a couple of them as they are heavy and I have been stung before by guessing :rolleyes:

    How is everybody else doing ????

    edited to add that I have just registered a phone to sell on envirophone so will add £14.33 into my total when I get the cheque cashed - every little helps :)

    I would have thought thats ok :)

    no more progress from me but I did manage to raise £75 for cancer research through doing the race for life and beat my time from last year! yay! did the 5km in 45 minutes!! next charity challenge for me is to come up with ways to raise £3000 for the national autistic challenge :rolleyes: but anyway Im getting of the subject of the olympic challenge sorry :o

    nothing left for me to ebay really, all of that went in the last challenge! although have stuff left to take to the boot sale yet again!! when I get time to go! our local one is on a sunday and its an early start so only tend to do one if I have a monday off afterwards which is 2 weekends a month, my next one of those I am away for so one after that is the first week of august!!

    Well done everyone so far - fdf that's great for your race for life - mine's on Wednesday as it was postponed due to flooding a few weeks ago.

    My challenge has got off to a good start.

    £9.24 profit from 2 sales on amazon and 1 on green met posted yesterday.

    Then last night sold another on green met (haven't sold any for 3 months on there then 2 in a week :) ! )

    My 1 ebay listing on thursday has finished and been paid for so another trip to the post office for me tomorrow lunchtime.

    Oh and found 5p yesterday whilst out so that's in the piggy of money I've found ready for 14th December!

    Well done on the race for life! I walked it last year! Welcome hope! Well done on the phone oops! I'm waiting for my cheque to come through! Been busy listing stuff for emay (loosing its appeal right now!!) & waiting for a couple of things to finish tonight (2/3 with bids). Really good news is I have watchers on my tiffany ring...fingers crossed for BIDS!! 8 days to go! Like some running out of things to ebay! Put in an ad for babysitting and had a call this morning but she wanted child picked up from school! Never mind was a bit deflating though! Hope eveyone doing ok! Has anoyone signed up for DVD rental offers on quidco? Looks from spiel that that wont pay if you cancel at the end of trial?

    Hi,

    WELL DONE ON RFL FDF!!! THAT'S A GREAT TIME!

    I am off the mark with the vouchers selling with just one bid of 39.99 - but I'm happy with that. The trainers have got 1hr left and 4 watchers but still only one bid of 99p.

    I've listed approx 10 more things so fingers crossed!! I think I have even managed to remember the code on most of them!

    I am really excited about updating my total - I forgot how exciting the challenge buzz was!!

    My buyer is paying by cheque so that saves Paypal fees :) Also got £17.05 on a no risk game. Got an old phone looked out but will offer that round work first, see if I can avoid the ebay/amazon scammers. Matched betting is slow just now but football will start soon enough.

    Not a bad start.

    26 days and counting :)
