    Well all my things on ebay sold (apart from one) but I've not been paid by all yet, and the other is sitting in paypal, so I wont count that this week :) the £1000 seems quite hard to reach at this moment! lol :) x

    Debt-free and Proud!
    I'm not going so well with this challenge - put stuff on Ebay & loads didn't even sell :( the couple of bits that did meant that with listing fees for the whole lot I made a grand total of.... 30p!

    Got some money from Quidco coming through, which although not in the bank a/c yet I've counted, simply because otherwise I'd feel so down hearted.

    Oh, and I should have been paid around £100 for overtime I'd done - and it's not turned up in my bank account :mad: sent a very snotty email off this morning, so wait and see what happens there!

    Hi,

    Dont feel downhearted, i have nothing in the bank yet. But htere is work in progress.

    Made boyfriend get car insurance through my quidco, so thats £120 waiting, applied for 0%credit card through quidco another £35. Done some surveys, and applied for some canvassing work at my work, which isnt till sept/oct time but if i didnt do this challenge i wouldnt have bothered. listed 1 item on ebay and 1 on amazon. No high hopes there tho. Not going to count anything till its in the bank tho.

    Received £20 cheque from Mutualpoints yesterday, so I'll add that once its hit my bank account. I'll have to look out for lego on sale I think!

    Ive been busy today playing bingo! Got 20 cashback through quidco which i will get next month but then I went on to win £77.58 (minus the £10 I had to play).

    Also got lucky with lightspeed, they paid me extra money when their site wasn't working properly so got £21 instead of £11.

    Also got another £4.31 on ebay.

    Overall I've made £102.89 this week, so £116.13 in total - best week ever!:T :T :T :T :T

    Hi thats my Mutualpoints cheque through. Will add it to this weeks total. Next up is Quidco and my Ebay items. Will do a lot of listing tonight in the hope something sells! It feels like money for the challenge is taking ages. I am just impatient i guess.

    Sold a book on Amazon on Tuesday night - posted yesterday a whole £1.56 profit :o.

    So up to £60.56 now - should be past the £100 mark now :eek:

    2 lots on ebay tonight and intend to have an ebay blitz at the weekend and sort out my car boot stuff too.

    Finished my job on Tuesday and started my new permanent one yesterday :j, I worked until the end of my old job rather than taking the c two days holiday I had accrued (I was temping and the holiday arrangements were weird) anyway hopefully I'll get the money next Friday and then I've got some MS money to look forward to at the end of August from all the jobs I did at the end of July (very roughly £30) so that should all help.

    Also very close with cashbag (I found my account with about £13 a couple of months ago so have been clicking to try and get to £15 for a cheque) and mutualpoints going well too.

    So lots of money on it's way/almost on it's way - just getting impatient now. :o

    Hope everyone is doing well - nearly 3 weeks in already :eek:
