Congratulations everyone for such brilliant results:beer:. You're putting me to shame:o. I'm on a slow burn at the moment, things will really pick up for me when the car boot sale season starts and I can do at least one every week:j
Have sold several books on Amazon but am not declaring it until it is in my bank account so only £5.80 profit (after all fees etc) to add so far. At least it gets me off the zero mark. Posted 3 yesterday and another 3 this morning but they're all only cheapies. Still, every little helps, as they say.0 -
Hi, its me again - I'm happy to report another two items sold giving me £23 to add to my total please

I have a big bag of clothes sorted out ready to take to cash for clothes. They're all super old, and to be honest I don't have the patience to individually list them all online.
I've also sorted out a few more bits into my piles of car booting stuff. Roll on nicer weather so I can hopefully get rid of it all!Debt Free By Xmas 2015 #68: 265.49/3587.86 7.40%

Hi
I'm late to the party but I would love to get involved. A week before Christmas I sold a battered old car that had been sat on my drive for nearly 2 years for £420 - but that pretty much paid for Christmas.
I'm mid declutter and I have been taking the easy option of chucking it all to the charity shop. Now it's a fabulous local shop and I don't begrudge them anything - but it's a lazy way to do it.
I doubt I can get to £1000 but I am going to have that as a pie in the sky target and see how we go.
The money will either go into my sealed pot or into my savings account so won't be held as a specific amount apart - this challenge is going to help me grow those other savings.
Looking forward to taking part and cracking on with the decluttering
Comps £2016 in 2016 - 1 wins = £530 26.2%
SEALED POT CHALLENGE MEMBER No. 428 2015 - £210.930 -
Two more items gone today so that's £22.99 to add please. I'm slowly working my way through the mountain of stuff
