    Hi all

    Sorted out bedroom/wardrobes today after Wedding and Christmas and I have lots to Ebay. I also have a few more items for Amazon. Will get all these listed and ready for the start of the challenge.

    My car boot box is also getting bigger. I think I'm looking about March time for that as I still need to enter the tip! (sorry the daughters bedroom:eek: )

    Just notced a couple of my ebay items have bids already, and had an offer for £10 to buy a bottle of perfume that I thought wouldn't sell at all (started the bid at £1.99!) so added a BIN and they've bought it! Money's in paypal so will add it when I get past £50! Am well chuffed!

    WOW well done spendaholic chick - nice start :j

    I have signed up for a goldfish credit card via quidco for £41 cashback - should come in sometime during this challenge and of course I will not be using it :rolleyes:

    I have jsut sold another book on Green Metropolis so that will bring my account over £10 so I can cash that in to start the challenge too.

    Must must must get back into Ebaying and will be doing car boot sales when the weather gets a bit warmer.

    Cant wait for the start :T
