  • Well done Bails on your amazing total. I had an extra £10 from the tax man today, and made £51.63 in Avon commission, so nearly there.

  • Hi everyone.

    I've had some good ebay and amazon sales recently, so adding £91.40 for those.

    The biggest thing is that I got a payrise at work which was backdated and paid today, so an extra £350 in my paypacket :j .

    My total's now up to £853.90 :j :j .

    I usually get money for Christmas from my parents - if they're in a generous mood, I might just actually complete a challenge for the first time ever!

    Well done everyone.
  • i've added £212.41 today - my christmas bonus. i was expecting a little bit more to be honest, but the tax man was very greedy and i paid a lot more tax than i expected! still, it's taken me over the £1500 target that i was hoping for!

    £50 added to total from a free Amazon voucher but the offers gone now, was on freebiegb.co.uk
    Hey - sorry - I'm not in this challenge but I do read through!
    I signed up for this and did the offer and everything on wednesday but I haven't got my voucher yet and I'm really worried that I've wasted £10! :( who did it come from - Jackpot joy or the freebiegb site?!
    I have also emailed them - one yesterday and once just now and haven't heard anything :( I really needed that voucher to buy some uni textbooks lol!!
    If you can help me out with any of this info I would totally appreciate.
    Thanks loads,
    Tink

    Well done, Mogwai - will that little lot pay off your OD or has it already been earmarked for elsewhere?

    Has anyone had any problems with the tak€abr€ak site? They are taking ages to complete my verification after a housemove and won't let me withdraw cash until it's completed again. :( Guess this is going to carry over into next year's challenge, along with my cashback that's due payable on December 31st.
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.

    I had major problems with them first time i tried so dreading the next time, took me about 2 weeks to get my original £10 back.
