New Diary, New Start-mortgage be gone

tattycath

I've had a busy weekend cleaning and sorting stuff out.
Managed to make another mortgage overpayment today. :j

Apart from the mortgage overpayment...
I have managed a no spend day today.
Looking to get some more stuff listed tomorrow-fingers crossed.

I know we are over a third of the way through February, but I have to set some serious targets for this month as I've been a bit too complacent so far this month and I need to generate some cash to pay for urgent maintenance repairs. So my targets are:
1). Sort out some stuff I don't use any more
2). Sell sorted stuff
3). Raise £500 from this exercise.

Challenge set.

Most impressive :T- that's my sales target for the whole of 2016! :rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl: thank you greent.

I'm a big fan of charity shops. Today I went into Salvation Army charity shop. Apparently if you buy a 99p bag from them, they give you an incentive card. On one side there are various pictures and on the other side there are 5 pictures of shopping bags. If you spend over £5 they stamp your card on the various pictures side. Once you have received 10 stamps, you get £5 off in store.
The other side of the card is for donations. You fill the bag with stuff to donate and take it back to the shop and they give you a replacement bag and stamp your card. Each stamp is worth £2 to spend in store.
I think it's a great idea! :T:T

Unfortunately I have had some necessary expenditure today.
Due to an almost overwhelming amount of appointments and other commitments I am quite a bit behind with my target this month.
Next week I'm hoping I should be able to delegate a few hours to try and catch up-or at least make some headway and maybe even get some listings up on the bay.
Optimistically I am aiming to devote at least 10 hours to try and achieve extra sales.
I have so much stuff, :eek: over the course of the year I should be able to get a decent amount of money, just getting rid of excess stuff.

I have managed to complete one savercard for Christmas already. So half way there. Way ahead of schedule. :j

Last year I didn't start a savings card until August. So I started this year in November of last year. So I did get a bit of a head start.
The plan is to fill at least one more card-depending how I get on, maybe 2.

Thanks Brizzle.
Been busy with appointments and paying bills so far this week.
At least I feel some progress is being made.
