    well, just got back from the car boot and made the grand total of .........£14.50!! :o

    Not as much as i would of liked but to be fair the stuff i sold would have normally been thrown out or sent to charity so i can't really complain.

    Brought loads of my books back so off to put them on green metropolis, may as well give it a go.

    Right, ot doing so well on this - but I'm about to going list mad on Ebay as I'm feeling up to it tonight! :)

    Hope they go well - should do - I'm listing a stray pair of Next jeans I didn't do when listing all my DS's 12-18 mth stuff - think I'll start them at 50p as they're only one pair! Ah well. Might even get motivated enough to list the exhausts I have too - they are worth a lot (from b-i-l 50/50 split on profit :D).

    Hope that all are being successful :)

    Well more suffering today in the interests of the Olympic challenge :o ....did 2 ms for a new company. Now I can hardly walk after traipsing around two towns and have backache from sitting at the computer for 3HOURS inputting data!!! (I'm 35 1/2 weeks preg!) Still it will be another £70 less expenses to add to total when I get my money. Also sold an item on ebay for another £5. Great challenge, hoping to be able to pay off me overdraft at the end of this and maybe have a little left over :beer:

    Hi everyonewell done - you are all doing really well.I have another £130 to add. We shopped around for Sky HD which we had been saving up to get and we managed to get a discount of £100 by going with Sky cos we have been with them for years and they also have thrown in free installation which is worth another £30.

    Both lots of vouchers on ebay sold - will update with profit when I've got the money and posted them.

    Also sold a video on amazon today :j - again will update total when I've posted it and know what my profit is (it's one that in laws gave me to sell as they can't be bothered :rolleyes:)

    So hopefully a more positive week for me this week.
