  • Oooh another challenge... but I'm not going to join! I am in full support of everyone but I feel properly embarrassed by my recent challenge efforts (See sig- but may have to change that soon!) I was AWESOME for a while and challenging left right and centre and making loads but now I seem to be a little more part time :o and thats also fine in my life... but I feel an almost uncontrolable need to sign up and I know I'm not really going to do it!

    Does that make any sense? Anyway I just want to say GL GL to all and I will be popping in (and maybe keeping a total of my own efforts so I can dash in later! :D)

    I will try to offer any helpful advice if am I here :)

    Welshgirl - no need to be embarrassed . I have done rubbish at the monthly challenges. I think whatever money people make on any of the challenges is a bonus and very well done:D . Of course we will welcome your tips and advice and you can join in the challenge at a later date if you want to:D

    I'm up to £404.50 - money arrived from Paypal from selling some baby stuff, got a couple of mystery shopping payouts and sold a unit for £60 cash. And the good thing is that every penny has gone to debt so far!

    Hi all - got a £10 Amazon voucher through Trusted Places (which I've, erm, spent on something which is a pressie), so on pay day will stick £10 onto my savings account to make up for it.

    Waiting for 2500 Pigsback points which were due about 4 weeks for Petplan Insurance. Hopefully those will arrive soon and some more Xmas pressies can be 'bought'.
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

  • Hi everyone

    Another £ 92.12 to add to my challenge. This is for my gym membership which is suspended for 2 months and not smoking. Thanx mm for your kind words about giving up smoking, still can't believe I've not smoked for nearly 6 months now, and am actually losing weight.

    I will be adding another £ 245.00 next week as I'm getting some money back from my gym as a refund after being injured whilst training with my personal trainer, just waiting for the money to actually hit my account before I add it.

    Well done everyone, every little bit adds up in the end.

    Good luck
