    :rudolf: Jamtart6'sOfficial 20 day update:rudolf:
    At the moment having a complete shocker! Not sure on my totals at the mo' ...but what I do know is instead of spending £200 on bits for xmas for my OH I will be buying him a TELLY :eek: for his bday and xmas (its a long term investment for when we move in too haha and also a suprise!!) so that is £250 to add to my total, and my dad needs a new phone :eek: so that could be around £100.

    I would however much rather spend that much on them, rather than bitty bits and know its something they really really want.

    So... I've just bombed right out of Lapland level back to the beneath bauble level! and I have a new motto guys...

    IF IT STAYS STILL FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS...IT GETS eBayed..!!

    (Dad looks like he's been stationary for a while...he had better watch out!!! :rotfl:)

    So in a nutshell my 20 day update is : in a pickle with spending totals, got more items ending tonight, might make another £20 from them, and my earnt total after tonight will be nearing £100 which is a great for the first 3 weeks!

    Got loads more going on tonight too :)

    GOOD LUCK ALL!!

    PS - slightly off topic, but has anyone seen a cheap mobile with a half decent camera on pay as you go anywhere?? Thanks in advance!

    I have just posted my first pile of stuff off for Ebay and have made a massive profit (for me anyway) of £75.96.

    This was just for books and I have another box ready and waiting to be listed.

    Dont think Ill make as much this week but I will have a go anyway.

    Thanks for the great Idea:T

    Welcome Scattystudent1 - if you go to one of Jamtart6's posts on if you click your mouse on the id name(jamtart6) then the option to send a private message should come up - just click on that and then it will take you to another page and then its just like sending a normal email - you put a title and a message.

    Hope this helps

    Good luck with the challenge :beer:
