Thanks for that kimbob - I'm wondering whether it can be adapted to be more in line with today's meaning of "turning your money over" ?
Say by using some of this month's income to buy something of a decent value, to re-sell with 28 days, before the next new moon 0 -
Thanks for the reply lexbubbles
It sounds really good, I'm gonna drag them all out at the weekend and have a go. They're mostly 50's & 60's stuff (beatles, Elvis, rolling stones, country etc) no idea if they'll sell but I told my Nan I'd give it a try and plus I get to keep a few quid if they do
Also, I did the 'downshift' thingy on the weekly shop earlier and saved £26...does that count?£5/day Feb - £360/£1450 -

WOW Gien - can't believe how well you're doing :dance: :dance:Can I add to my target please?
I got to 335 on Tuesday and today I have sold some rugs for 25 and some old artists paints for 35. So I have got to 395.
I'm away all. Next week so no opportunity for selling but anyway, I am going to set a new target of 20 per day and aim high, so that will be 580. Another 185 to aim for.
Hope you make your new target
