  • Can I please join in?

    I am currently in my final year of a degree. When I finish in May I will obviously get no more student finance and until I find a new job will have to survive on a part time wage. So, anything I can make/save will be a nice safety cushion.

    I aim to save mainly though selling items no longer needed and through survey sites.

    £42.35 so far just from two sales.

    It's been a while since I've had more than an odd item to sell so looking forward to seeing that number mount up!

    Used amazon trade in and webuybooks today to dispose of some books i had lying around. I was surprised at the price variance between the two so i checked both before committing to sell to one or the other.

    £67.21 coming my way for those.

    Sold a "remote control tester" i had lying about on ebay for £14.99 - £12.00 or so clear after postage and fees.

    One of my items from the £90 batch of stock sold for £15.99 too so pleased there. Most of the rest of it is on auctions finishing sunday night.

    Only fly in the ointment is the £200 of stock i bought. No word from the seller its been dispatched yet and i could be doing with it soon as nearly all my stock will be gone once these auctions finish on sunday.
  • Can I join too please? Now I'm debt-free 👍 I want to keep up with the savings and be able to help out more at home too! Although I think I've cleared my ebay-able stuff.

  • I am off the mark! I have a jar that I keep the cash in when I sell any items on Facebook etc. usually we dip into this to pop to the shops or order a take away, but I am putting a stop to that. What goes into the jar will now be kept as savings. I have totted up what's in there so far and we have a grand total of £9.14! I have also listed some items for sale on Facebook. One item has sold for a whopping £1, but I will add them to my total when the item is actually collected tomorrow.
  • Count me in please :)
