Just wanted to say hi and good luck with your challenge.
I am doing something similar myself in that everything I buy for the kids in terms of toys, clothes and shoes, (if I can stretch to their presents and parties too then its a bonus) has to be covered by money gained from selling their old stuff.
See my sig for more details. So far my challenge is in serious defeceit as I have only sold one thing, but spend over £100 just to keep up with their growing bodies and feet. As long as its not in minus money by the end of the year I will be happy!
I shall be looking to your challenge for some more inspiration and watching your progress.0 -

A great idea, not sure I could stretch to raising money for five children.. But maybe I can build up to it?
Well another old phone caught lying around has earnt me an added £12.50, grand total now at £16. I have to sort ebay out as I only have 2 items listed right now. I shall get my bum into gear, I shall!Debt free and plan on staying that way!!!!0 -
Hi Mummytofour.
Just PMed you.
Also, I wonder if there could be one of those 3 for a pound magazine subscriptions you could get for your daughter?! Obviously something suitable for her age, I am sure she would love receiving something by post just for her, even if it is only for 3 issues?? May not be something suitable but worth a try.
Or how about making a CD of her favourite party tracks? These are added extras, but ones that wont break the bank!
