    Jenjade, I think it should be safe enough to add your cheque to your balance, it'll have cleared within the next fortnight and we still have 18 days left to go :) My balance is gradually creeping up but not quite as quickly as I'd have liked. I've got almost £100 lying about in places that I can't withdraw for another week or two :rolleyes: and am awaiting another £10 from free scratchcards to arrive in bank. They, at least, have emailed to say that it's on its way, so should be here this coming week! Everyone is doing extremely well, and I'm hoping that next year will be just as good. Thanks to all for joining me in this mini-challenge. :T
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.

  • another £111.25 to add today - this is the money from selling my DS and games, as the cheque cleared today (very quick, considering my mum only banked it for me yesterday!)
  • Another £10 to add (xmas present from my mum's friend) and £10 from scratchcards.

    If I hadn't won 2x £500 then my total so far would be £871 which is still good :j

    I won £500 for a survey I did, and £525 on a free bingo game (you got £5 free to play on Tombola.co.uk when you buy a magazine... but someone gave me the code for free) :D It's sheer luck that I've made it over the £1000 mark.

    I have another £24-ish to add from an ebay sale but apart from that, it's all quiet here!
