I don't know why I do this to myself...I'm useless at challenges... but I could do with an extra £1000, certainly before Christmas...
I'm also going to use my pin money...so money I save on my grocery and fuel budget and also from using vouchers etc for presents. As well as cashback and any money earnt from mystery shopping and other odd bits of work.0 -

FrankieM, you're not useless at challenges, you have made a start. Even if we only manage to raise an extra £100 between now and new year, it's £100 more than we would have had without trying that little bit harderApart from that, it reminded me that on 1st December, I'll have my sealed piggy bank to open and count what's in there. ('Phil the Pig' is my avatar) plus I'll have whatever extra I have left over from the 4k challenge, if there's any.

Please count me in as well. I've pretty much sold everything that isn't nailed down over the last three months, but I have the money and tips from my part time job, Avon, surveys and a little bit of mystery shopping, so I WILL do it by New Years Eve!Married 19th May 2011 to the love of my lifeCross Stitch Cafe Member Number 44CSC Challenge - to complete LEGS by end of December

Kerriebaby, if you go via a cashback site then it works out free to join many of the bingo sites, but you need to wait for the cashback and hope that it clears, and deduct the amount it cost you to join in the first place. We are not allowed to offer referal links in these posts but Martin has provided a few on site, so the click throughs help generate a little bit extra to help keep MSE going. Look for links with the * next t them
thanks for that xx0 -

got paid this morning for some ebay items so posted them and made £33.82 profit! so am off the mark.0 -
My update is a big fat zero at the moment. I'm going to be sorting some things out to lis on ebay this week hopefully as I have to sort changing my address with paypal and ebay too. I was wondering can we count overtime at work as I'm only PT and sometimes get extra hours.
Good luck to everyone0 -
Oh, come on JB, that's cheating - you'll reach a grand in no time
A porridge stirrer? :rotfl:
you should SEE the mess i am in, piles of stuff everywhere...
i am loving how i can whack everything on ebay for 99p, and i will be making a profit on its original cost :cool:
...off to check how much spurtles are selling for...
edited in - none on ebay! does that mean i can charge a premium as it is a rare item? :rotfl:This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
Ok, I'm off the starting grid!
£6.00 in the pound pot
AND
after reading some posts last night i remembered that last year i'd had an account with Onepoll so, after the rigmarole of having a new password sent to me because i'd completely forgotten it, i discovered that i had £27.40 in it. Wahey! :j
Have also listed a few things on Ebay, so, fingers crossed. Good luck everyone!"You don't always know where you stand, until you know you won't run away..."0 -
hello everyone,
i was also wondering if we could count some overtime pay with this challenge?! im going to say i have £2 for this challenge as i gave some1 a lift and got £2. as well as their weekly payment to me. so yup £2 for me lol. im finding surveys hard most of them are saying you didnt qualify and then thats the end of the survey so hopefully that will get better!!Due to budget cuts the light at the end of the tunnel will be switched off.
