    Another £15 to add!

    to be honest I havent been doing much towards the challenge as my minds been on other things, off to China in less than 2 weeks for an 18 day trip and have just signed up for a charity trek in Peru next May, so what with training for that and fundraising the challenge hasnt had much effort put into it. But whatever I do make on the challenge will go towards funding my place on the charity trek :)

    Sounds exciting!

    Nothing as exciting as a trip to China to report, but off to Corfu on monday!!
    Had £12 in luncheon vouchers from the site we are not allowed to mentionus £10 in M& S vouchers so decided to buy (yes buy) new togs for jollies!!

    SA one was young & looked bemused at vouchers then said 'it says here stores which do not accept' I said 'oh dear .. but it really says do accept!! she asked other Sa still no joy, sorry to say I gave in .. but will be back with avengance!!
    But on way to check out found rail with 'buy for a £1!!'
    No good to me but ebay here I come!!

    Made £34.00 from ebay yesterday & with a last ditch attempt on some scary fat lasss shorts listed at £2.00 or £4.50 buy it now on a 24 hour listing, some silly person bought through buy it now 1 hour before auction closed @£4.50 with no bids??!!
    Perhaps they don't get out much?

    not me :p

    Ok 5 things on ebay - 1 with bids and 2 with watchers. 4 things were 'unknowns' to me, areas I've not sold in before (and one of those is the one with bids) so fingers crossed for those - some ending in time for next week others will be for the week after.

    1 ebay sale earlier in the week and 2 finished tonight, then an amazon sale too so an ok week but still way behind.

    Excel keeps crashing on my machine so will try again tomorrow and update my total then!

  • I have 25 items on ebay with bids on 4 of them, but watchers on 6 more so fingers crossed! :j

    One of them is currently being won by one of you lovely lot (I recognise the username!).

    I've also just checked my online banking to find I've been paid for a mystery shop that I didn't relaise was outstanding so another £16.80 into the coffers :T
