    I had a scratch card brought for me for Christmas, I finally got round to scratching it off today I've won £10 to start this challenge. I'm so close to drawing £40 out of one poll now too.

  • Right, have now had a clear-out at my parents' house, of stuff that I can take back home with me to sell/earn some money from. Have several DVDs (all old, so they won't fetch much), which I'll ebay on the next free listing weekend.

    I've also collected all of my craft stuff (I used to do a lot of card-making, but it's stalled over the past few years due to work pressures) and will take that back. I've decided that I'm going to count the money that I will save from card-making instead of buying cards, towards this challenge. However, I'm also going to take money away from this challenge if I buy craft stuff. Hopefully that will motivate me to clear the stash before buying more!

  • There is an easy £15 to be made over on The Money Shed should it interest anyone? They are giving away £5 for reaching 50 posts and £10 for 100...only catch is they need to be decent quality.

    Thought it might be a nice way for some people to kick off their challenge :)

    Can I join in please? I want to move so any money made will go towards it.

    I have some items listed on ebay which finish in a couple of days so here's hoping they sell.

    I've received £100 compensation from my bank from a complaint so I've updated my signature.

    I have made a start on this challenge, I have been given £35 in Waitrose vouchers, and I have a Microsoft office refund of £5.99 after I cancelled my subscription. So £41.99/£2016. Need to get stuff listed on ebay and make a start on those surveys x
