£1000 in 100 Days, 22nd Sept - 31st Dec 2008

I managed to get first lot of tickets from KingJ but I don't seem to be able to find an actual schedule to see when the free games are, nor can I find where you can buy in advance. The games are much quicker in here than in Gala, so I'm hoping I don't miss them.

My ultimate aim is to become financially self-sufficient rather than rely on my basic earnings, as I would rather save these towards buying a house and then living as self-sufficientish as possible. Actual self-sufficiency is practically impossible because there are things that we cannot avoid paying, like Council Tax, National Insurance, utilities etc, etc, etc... So, my ultimate goal is to become money neutral WITHOUT relying on actual income.
The £10 per day challenge is no good for me because I know that I can't guarantee to bring in an extra £10 every single day, I find it easier to earn in dribs and drabs that can accumulate without the pressure of a daily target, hence the £1000 in 100 days effort. Next year, I would love to live on £4000 and earn £4000 extra for the entire year, which would mean that I had achieved my money neutral status - financial self-sufficiency without even touching the wages/salary

Do you think you should add the 'interest beater challenge' to the amount too??
( Just asking...)

I'm not counting anything from before the start of the 100 days, only what I have saved since then, although both totals will overlap slightly for the sake of knowing how much tax free income I've accumulated by next April when my tax return's due

Sorry, I meant for next years challenge amount....
Then you've got your amount to live on plus interest you would have made if you were able to save the money instead of having to spend it...Does that make better sense?

just a warning to anyone playing bingo at the moment - do not use w!nk bingo!

at the moment, they're offering a big bonus for a small first deposit (£5 or £10, i think). I played this because my friend said it was very easy to win, which it is.

i managed to make £27ish shortly after my first deposit. However, i've just been told that i can't withdraw it because before you can make your first withdrawal, you have to deposit and play through at least £20. this is perhaps my fault for not reading the terms and conditions properly, but it's certainly not very clear and means that i will now have to play and lose all of my winnings because i'm not pouring more money in just to meet the deposit requirement and then play it all through to meet the withdrawal requirement.
