Hve just popped my tin on the scales and oh my Gosh I have gained 1,562grams and have deducted the weight of the tin. I hope that I will carry on like this, my debts will soon go down. :T

Did you make this? If so how? I love it.

Lol. x

I made both my Cash Cow and Phil the Pig using balloons and paper mache. If you scroll back through this forum, someone has also made 'Spot' the pig

Cash Cow and Phil the Pig

Phil the Pig is for spare change, Cash Cow is for backup LOL

evening everyone

I now have 60 coins and 1 5euro note in my tin :T a total of 20 euros..or £15 :j (am going to stop keeping track though - i want a surprise next year ) ... in a week thats pretty good i reckon.... especially as i am still putting into my other tins too..

I considered stopping doing my gold coin tin and the bronze coin tin and just doing the sealed pot.. but it would feel like cheating :rotfl: .....
I have also made a start on making my christmas presents for NEXT year .. have decided i am going to make as many presents as possible -knitting, x stitching, jewellery making and making flavoured spirits etc- so thought i had better make a start.... have done about 24" of my first scarf -and i only started yesterday afternoon :T .... so im going to be able to put even more in my sealed tin as i will have to spend less on pressies
this is becoming addictive:j

Hello MRSMCAWBER,
I thought you might be interested in this thread as well. It's a special MSE thread for upping your income / starting a cottage industry. In true MSE style, we all know that increasing savings and reducing expenses equates to a virtually increased income, so perhaps you might like to join this challenge too I call this one my Cyberdosh challenge as it's about making/saving money online.

Hi there Nykmedia

Thanks for that, i have just been on and had a browse -very interesting

I used to make jewellery and sell via e-bay but the competition with mass produced stuff just made it a waste of time.

X stitch is my big thing, but I generally do quite large ones and wouldn't dream of selling them for some of the prices you see on ebay :eek: .....
but you have got me wondering about something else i might have a go at . Also a lot of stuff is sooo much cheaper out here... kitchen stuff - pastry cutters etc and the range so much better i may have a look into what sort of profit i could make
The extra problem i have is now being out in Germany... although as I use the post office on camp the postage charge will be the same as if i was in the UK... it would take a day or two longer to arrive :rolleyes: .

I am planning on getting rid of quite a few new clothes i got earlier in the year...and have never worn as i am doing the OS weight loss challenge....3 st 7lb gone so far :j but am waiting until after xmas when folks start looking for holiday clothes again ... oooh you have my mind working overtime now...thankyou.. i think i may set up a seperate pot for anything i sell

thankyou for giving me a push in the right direction

I have started the sealed tin challange but not counting how much is going in. I am hoping for at least £100 next December as I managed the £75 jam jar challange this year and we did not start that so early. I will post on here and keep track of how everyone is doing. Best of luck:D
