Hi Dezzi,
Well that seems like a huge amount to raise in such a short timebut im in need of a challenge so you're on.
Have got a mystery shop set up for tomorrow so that will be my starting point.
Good luck!

haha!! come on Thats why its called a challenge!!!!! So what if we dont make it at least we will have raised some money off our debts!! Even if its £500. Lets say go for bronze £300, Silver £500 and gold £1000 I really need some motivation. Im going to start a loose change jar. At the end of everyday I am going to empty my purse of notes and put them in the jar and see what ive got at the end of the 2 months. Also If i fancy getting a pizza or a dvd or a magazine or even go out for the night im going to try and say NO!!!!! and put the money in the jar. Might work sometimes!! Come on DO IT!!!

ps southen scouser.... how dya know ive got a crackin @rse?!?

Brilliant challenge, dezzie:T

In the past I've watched so many challenges from the sidelines, cheering on the participants and having a half-hearted 'go' myself. I've never had the courage to put myself in for a challenge before:o but I'm seriously considering this one. That's a breakthrough for me, 'almost' joining is a damn sight better than nothing:eek:

Just a bit of clarification needed please. There I go you see, any excuse to faff about without actually committing:o. Seriously though, is this challenge for 2 calendar months( the rest of June plus the whole of July) which is a bit short to do it in:eek: , or is it for 8 weeks from today? Please could you let us know your planned end date , then we all know what we are taking on? Also, a list of 'rules' would be great.

Even if I don't actually join as such I'll be wishing you all the very best of luck and cheering your successes.:A

Good luck, with as quoted a cracking if animated !!!! like that, you dont need to use the cleavage

Ever thought of lap dancing ?

scotlass99 · 12 June 2007 at 1:33PM

I would like to join if I may?

My partner has a heart attack three weeks ago and is now going to be off for 8-12 weeks so I need all the money I can get!!

My plan of action is to Ebay like a mad thing!! I have loads of clothes to sell so I will chain myself to computer desk until I have listed them all!

Woohoo I am all motivated now! Have been feeling a bit down about my situation recently, a couple of debts have escalated to debt collection and things are looking bleak so I am determined to do this!!

Thanks for starting this thread!

Applecider_2 · 12 June 2007 at 2:01PM

hmmm lap dancing.... I just aint got no groove!!

ok lets start the challenge from yesterday the 11th until the 11th of August.

The rules are pretty simple, make £300, £500 or £1000 from anything like quidco, selling things on ebay, saving coins anything youve managed to save from your wages or part time job, sorry but bank charges do not count. the reason I want to list how much youve saved is so that you can see progress. I opened a virgin casino account through quidco placed 51 pound in it. I have spent a pound and quidco have tracked £50!!! so when I actually get that I will list it. Ive also opened a coral account and placed ten pound in it. It has tracked £25 too so hopefully that will come. I have only spent a pound which is pretty cool. I emptied my purse of change last night into my large budwiser bottle moneybox and will do this everyday!! I am going to list my old phone on ebay and some sim cards so hppefully that will get some money.

If you can list your posts like this

ebay.........£31
Saving Jar £19

Total so far...... £50

then a nice note on how yah doin....

copying and pasting each time.

I will start today

Ebay..............................£0
Quidco............................£75 (but only tracking)
Savings jar £? (not opening until the end)
PT job............................£0
Free fivers......................£0

total so far.....................£0 (but £75 hopefully on its way and money in the jar but not counting)

Does that seem ok? Any other rules or anything other comments greatly recieved!!! So whos in??

C xx
