  • £2.10 and a £3.24 pint since last post - been busy as hell.

    Got a couple of weeks off work so need to step my game up in my free time!

    Missing December out - see you all in January
  • I absolutely bombed last month, due to pregnancy complications and being bed ridden... So I'm late checking in this month.

    I was aiming for £10 per day as per normal...

    However, my DH was in a car accident early last week and wrote his car off. I've been selling the bits that are saleable off it and tonight made £350! Woop! Hit my target in one fell swoop despite being late to sign up and bombing last month.

    I'm hoping to do a few more sales this month but my baby will be born sometimes in the next 11-21 days so I'm not hopeful...

    In my news, feeling rubbish. Stomach virus. Have made around £40 on ebay tonight tho, so that makes me feel a little better. The thought of packing stuff doesn't tho.

    Oh my goodness! I do hope the rest of year is much better!

  • Thank you everyone! We're all good here. Hubby had a cut to his head and concussion with some airbag burns (the car hit oil on the road during the rain, on a roundabout and he just lost the back end and went into a lamp post) and he ached for a few days but he's fine now and me and Baby are doing good so it's all OK. :)

    This is my favourite challenge out of them all, as it really motivates me to find extra money where I can. This month has been the easiest thanks to his car accident! :P Thankfully we have a family car we can use, his was a silly little two seater sports car and he was contemplating chopping it in for something else anyway although he's really sad to see it go (and keeps talking about buying the salvage back and trying to fix it - that's not going to happen if I have anything to say about it!).

    It's my youngest daughters birthday in 14 days time so the sale I made yesterday will go towards that in all probability, and the last of the baby bits!
