    Hello!

    I've just found this thread and would love to join. I would be very surprised indeed if i got anywhere near a thousand, but having support and an incentive from you lovely people would probably go a long way! :j

    Can I join?

    The 4K a year one was far too adventurous for me, this sounds 'slightly' more manageable :rotfl: even if I manage to recoup the cost of xmas then that's a good thing :D

    Hi

    What a great idea for a challenge - would love to join in too please as I am having a hard time of it at the moment and need something to take my mind off things.

    Will list a few things on Ebay tonight.

    Good luck everyone :o

  • i'm 10% there!!

    did the car boot this morning, and although it seemed quiet sold loads of bits and bobs - had a lot of new stuff and bought home £107!! so off to a truly great start.

    However, we need money for my car mot - so wil probably use it on that but at least i made it!

    thanks for the challenege - its a great motivator!
  • I can't join, cos I am doing the olympic challenge thingy but I wanted to wish every one luck, and sneakily ask Nykmedia if there will be another 4000 challenge next year? I know its early! I am just thinking ahead honest!!!!

    Can i just ask are people counting money as tracked on cashback sites etc or once its in your hands/bank?

    I am gonna count when its cleared in my ISA as thats what i want the £1000 for.

  • I count money from cashback sites once it's cleared & it's on its way to my bank account. With ebay I count the money once it's hits my paypal account.

    I'm counting it when it's either in my bank account, paypal account or paid directly to my credit card (as in a refund). I'm not counting surveys, clicks etc until they're real money. But that's the rules for me, not necessarily anyone else. I'm then hoping to be able to throw the money at my debts as quickly as I can! :D

    **cheering you all on**
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.
