I'm doing rubbish, not got another penny yet, but still hopeful of a few pounds more before New Year and the next challenge. Hoping that tomorrow's scratchcard tally will take me over my next £10 so I can withdraw it, and I have about £70 confirmed on cashback, so I may stretch to another £100.
Anyone wanting to do this challenge next year, it will begin on January 1st with a new thread. In the meantime, I'll get around to updating the challenger list soonI reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.

nothing to add for me today, although it is double scratchcards today for those of you who haven't done them yet.
i got a cheque today for £120.10 from tradeyourstuff.co.uk - i'll had about £112 of that to my total when it clears (it cost me about £8 in postage to send my ds to them so i'll need to deduct that before adding it to the total).
i'm hoping that my £120 cashback from my new mobile contract will arrive in my bank account before the end of the week, because it's due. and i'm hoping my scratchcards will pay out again before christmas
now that i'm not doing any matched betting, the whole thing is slowing down for me, and it's just a few big payments left really. still, i'll definitely make the £1500 that i wanted to before the end of the challenge - might even make it to £17000 -
£11.53 paid in my bank from a little extra work. had a call on monday from onepoll telling me they picked out out of a prize draw and a cheque for £100 will be with me in a few weeks. yay! not counting that towards my total though utill it arrives.:jDue to budget cuts the light at the end of the tunnel will be switched off.

Paid off so far: £3274.750 -
waiting on a couple of eBay payments - why is it a watched invoice never gets paid! gggrrr
Apart from that, will get paid for tutoring, so thats a bit more cash.
Have listed probably my last 10 day listings on eBay for the year, fingers crossed some of that stuff goes, sick of looking at the stuff! It will just go to charity after this lot!
I will prob have a half price sale on my listings towards the end, lol..We got rid of the kids. The cat was allergic.

Hi all, £1 bonus on Minver today. £2476.05 so far - a couple of scratchcard payouts and a couple of hours tutoring recently. Why is it when I get close to my total I think about extending it? Is that the first sign of an addiction?
Well done to everyone who's made their target or is getting v close in my absence, sorry I haven't been posting.The 1,000 Day Challenge:Feb 16, 2016500/30,000

thanks to the extra £1 on the free scratchcards sites and a bit of PSS, i've managed to withdraw £10 from both of the sites i use today
my cashback for my new mobile has been processed too, but they've decided to send me a cheque, which can take up to 7 working days to arrive and probably won't clear before christmas, even though their website clearly stated when i placed the order that they would pay via BACS! very annoyed! but still hoping it will arrive and clear before the end of the challenge.0
