  • Well this is brilliant - there's some serious money making going on!! I am even happier than usual as I am keeping all my money in a seperate account and I can physically see the balance increase (rather than knowing it has increased but spending it as I go along...)

    My next mission is Ebay and poss Amazon, have just moved house so have been trying to pile stuff to sell as I go!

    I love this challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Gemmzie, looking forward to seeing the totals xxx
