    My item sold on Amazon - so i have made my £1 for this week. I actually made £5 from the sale - i guess its better to make more money from nothing

    Not got my first pound yet - need to list some stuff on Ebay. I'm going to have to start with a gift I think to get the ball rolling.

    Will have a look later to see if there's something I was given that I no longer want.

    Well done to everyone that is on target :D and welcome to all newcomers :wave: .

    Hi everyone

    I still haven't got my pound yet. I am going to put something on Ebay tonight, something that didn't cost me anything of course, and this will be my first bit towards this challenge.

    Well, I listed a make-up bag that I won a little while ago on Ebay and I have only just been paid for it so I am going to use that to start off with.

    It went for £2 after fees :D . I'm going to look for something to get that is cheap and that I can hopefully sell on for more money now.

    Will scour the charity shops at the weekend and Ebay possibly.

    My SIL gave me some designer clothes that don't fit me, so I'm going to my local 2nd hand designer shop to see what I'm offer for them. Hopefully I'll make more than a quid, but beggers cant be choosers!:D
