  • You know I find this challenge really exciting. Saddo me!! I am getting a real sense of achievement doing this. Has made me really focused this month and I am very glad for that as moneysaving gets right boring at times. Going to list more stuff on e-bay today and see if I can up my total on that any.xx

    Listed a bucket load of Cd's and jewellery on ebay, I'm actually making a start.
    Playing catch up with you all but will make a dent in it.
