    hi not sure where I am ment to be looking for a challenge don't know how realistic it would be to earn £10k buy sept I know a big number but would love to take my big brood on holiday to see mickey mouse lol in florida so any help would be great

    Are you on Facebook? There are groups on there whocan advise the cheapest way to do it, ie not buying commercial packages full price. It might be cheaper for you to hire a house near disneyworld, flights separate, car hire. Then there are ways to sa ve on food ie coupons and vouchers, buying food from kmart and taking own food. Cheapest places to get passes etc.

    You could probablydo it, if you start now and put mindset to earning.


    Surveysites rhat pay cash, phone apps, matchedbetting, selling old items, 2nd jobs, mystery shopping etc.

    First I would look at the groups who can tell you how much you need first,

    the only problem I have is I don't drive and the others in our party don't either its the flights that are the most expensive I have tried it other ways and the package deal is better for us. we go to Walmart its just up the road only go to the convince store on the day we arrive but I think we might be going Walmart this time. we done research on the tickets to the parks and we have saved £200 on them and got the kids eat free cards so will save us money.
    I am on facebook
    I do not have a job as I am the one looking after the children my partner works and I have divided it up so we are saving so much but still need to come up with £11,018.20 for the holiday tickets and transport I have put passports travel stuff (ie clothes ect) transport to the airpost this side and travel insurance into what I have to save so just going to do it

    if I do a 8 month earn its 1,377.28 a month and a 12 month is 918.19 a month so did the rough workings out fingers crossed for me going to look for inspiration
    My challenges

    thanks Aesop I have requested to join I will be doing good if I can get the money.
    I have some Disney infinity stuff to sell brand new got for 60p each they sell for £8-10 I have put them on facebook for £5 each but have room to come down hope to have sold 3 on Monday so fingers crossed. not many people want them as someone said I will give you £5 for 3 still would be up but they where only on for like 5 mins before they said that.
    my auntie said she is doing a carboot on bank holiday Monday so might see if I can go alongto sell my stuff.
    I have noticed people want something for nothing on facebook so I just need to get more money to get more stuff I think clothes sell well.

    does anyone have a link for ebay selling please on know there is a thread but can not find it thanks in advance xx

    Just popping in to report that the cold and windy car boot sale was better than I expected. It took a lot of willpower to set off at 5.15 this morning, I would have chickened out normally but my money-making has been zero for so many weeks I had to make some asap. The sale was packed full of sellers and loads more buyers than I sometimes see on a sunny day so I'm glad I went:j

    The car is a lot emptier than when I left home this morning but I've still got a depressing amount of stuff to cram back into the shed ready for next time. The stuff people buy beggars belief sometimes:rotfl:, sheer tat sold and nice items didn't. It's not as if my tat contains any hidden treasures waiting for someone to buy at a pittance and make a mint themselves by selling on. I spend ages researching values of everything I try to sell and although I'll always drop my prices to get rid of the pure clutter I don't think I get ripped off very often;)

    Just thawing out, have already had 3 cups of tea, and haven't counted my loose change bag yet. Tried to keep track as I was going along and think I made just short of £90 after pitch fee.:j:j:j. The pitch fee was half price today, no idea why, I've never known that happen before in all the years I've been going.

    All the sites won't buy certain books and some may reject when they get them but otherwise is fine.
