    #38 1% Challenge: £119.95/ £2018 at 5% - almost 6!
    I ended January with no real motivation but one of my items sold this morning. A whole £3ish of profit after fees and postage but enough to nudge me into action again. I am doing an hour tonight of photos and listing items I've decided. I'm also going to drop the price on my remaining buy it nows.

    Edit: Listed 16 lots on ebay now. I've listed higher but will knock them down over the weeks. Even £2 a lot I'd be happy with as these may be tricky to sell. Hoping to list some jewellery tomorrow and up my chances of making some moolah.

    I've had a good day. Managed to get £12 off some underwear that I was already buying and needed in the 70% off sale at my local department store. I got £4 blue rewards. Spent £25 voucher on a new pair of trainers that I got from completing a survey. LP x
