3-6 Month Emergency Fund Challenge!!

Hi everyone,

I've updated my total to show the interest from my bank accounts and a small eBay sale. My new total is now:

#5 £2138.69/£3000 (71.28%)

One issue I'm having at the moment is that I'm running out of things to sell. I have bunch of stuff still in my dads house from when i moved out a good few years ago now and I'm thinking of making a trip over one day and slowly but surely listing it all on eBay if in good enough condition. It is mostly clothes and shoes.

Has anyone sold clothes on eBay? From what I've heard you don't earn an awful lot from them? a lot of stuff goes for 0.99p. Id appreciate some feedback from anyone who has sold clothes. is it worth it? tips/ tricks?

Keep up the good work everyone

#49 I now have £80 in my fund.
I am only adding what I can spare and don't need to access for one year.
Soon, the whole housing limbo will be over and I'll be able to budget and save properly

Very inspired to see all your achievements!

#50 Update, EF is now £325... just wish I thought it might stay there but that is what EF's are for, right?

Helen, I am so glad you are feeling better. You have my sympathy with the hayfever, don't know what I would do without anti-histamines; sneeze, probably. It is hard to sleep when sneezing all the time; hell, really.

Keep the faith, y'all.

Hi, Dobbi!

Try looking into selling on facebook too. You can sell on your local site and you wont have to pay to post x

I've been throwing all spare money into the savings.
Today it was so close to £1,000 that I had to top it up to make it exact!
The best is that the car fund is growing too!
