Make £10 a day June 2016 Challenge

[Deleted User]

Great start to the month for a lot of you:T


I think I may have a buyer for my chimney pots:j. Someone is coming round to have a look at them after tea. I've been on various reclamation websites and have seen a lot very similar to mine so I have a pretty good idea what they're worth.


I know we've got 2 white Belfast sinks, (something else I got from my late parents' garden) hidden among the trees and bushes in the far corner of our garden. They make great planters but have no idea where they are without a lot of clearing work. Not going to make any attempt to find them today, rain still pelting down:(. When I do find them I'll probably try to sell them as well while it's the time of year for people to be thinking about gardening.


It sounds as if we live in squalor with sinks and chimney pots so hidden by undergrowth that we'd forgotten about them:o. Not totally true as the garden is almost half an acre with trees and mature bushes galore. Even the best bits wouldn't win any prizes at Chelsea though, there's too much of it to be manageable. How I envy people who just have a balcony or patio! We deliberately leave a lot of the bits not visible from the house to resort to nature for wildlife etc. Well, that's OH's excuse for doing b..... all down there;).

If these are the sinks i think they are, have a look at the prices that people with horses will pay for them, if you do decide to sell them....friend of mine had a few in her stables. She was gutted when her husband removed them and sold them for a crazy amount of money!

Awesome start to the month, ebay sale of £220 which is £187.62 after the fees - money grabbing swear words, and my latest writing work got accepted so another £45.92 for that coming my way. Ebay money is on hold until the item arrives though and it's in Argentina so I am a little dubious but I sent it tracked and signed for so hopefully it'll all go smoothly. So that puts me on £233.54 already, lets hope I can keep it up x

Hello! I've been a bit of a lurker and I've decided to take the plunge as I want to pay my loan off as it takes a lot of money from me each month. I started well by selling a pandora charm yesterday for £40! Yay. I'll try and go for £10 a day and see what happens in my first month

Super news :dance: Many congrats and let us know when the big day is going to be happening

Hope the chimneys sold and good luck with the sinks - when you find them.
Funny isn't it - here I am with a balcony wishing I had a big garden and you doing the complete opposite. Oh well

I've made the huge total of £1.50 today but at least that's a start

Hope you all have a super Thursday
