  • Provided I can nab a cardboard box in work tomorrow that's big enough, I may have made my first £40 in ziffit book sales. Though I'm not sure whether I should count it though as it's obviously not 2015 yet lol

    Welcome newbies!

    I can keep a spreadsheet going of everyone's targets and running totals. If you could put each amount made in bold, colour, enlarged or all three that'd be great :D Makes it easier to see.

    Will post monthly updates to keep track and motivate us all.

    You can start your challenge now or in the New Year. I'm happy to start adding in totals to my sheet as of right now!

    Thank you Samiszel! Spreadsheets and I are not friends - I'm a pencil and notebook person!

    Please start me off with £38... Actually sold a fair bit at the school fair - it was either 38 or 48 depending on how much float I took, and since I can't remember, I'm playing safe with the lower figure! :D

    (sorry - can't change size or colour when using the tablet, so bold it will have to be...)

    Well done, apple! :j That's a great amount to start off with. And bold is just fine- anything to make it stand out and avoid me skimming over it.

    Have added your £40 too, Philae. Well done to you too :T

    What a great idea. I am off work with a stinking cold as I may put some of the time to good use by pottering at home listing items online. I had sorted out a bagful of items that didn't make it to the boot fair so will start with those tomorrow.

    Can you please put me down for £1000 for the year to pay for next Christmas, Birthdays and 2 wedding presents.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
  • Ooh please include me.

    I keep wanting to do a car boot but never do and have boxes of stuff ready to sell! And my selling on ebay is always half-hearted because it seems so time consuming.

    For me this is more about decluttering and getting something for it, rather than making a lot of money. (And it's not at the neglect of charity shop contributions!!).

    I'll go for a £1000 target too please.:D
    Thanks
