The 67k Challenge

Apologies in advance to anyone who may find this ludicrous - I'm a shoot for the stars, hope to hit the moon kind of guy - but I thought I'd share my idea that asks you to put your 'ALL' into chALLenge (really had to think hard for that link!) Anyhoo...
"Just one more", it's been said a million times, for a million different reasons and always will be. As a phrase it's so common and ubiquitous that it should be made into a word in it's own right. But in essence "just one more" sums up this challenge perfectly.
You see, with help and support, hints and tips, a desire to do better and with increased skills and knowledge it should be possible to do something really amazing.
For the ultimate DFW challenge I put forward the 67KC.
From January 1, 2009 the aim is to make £1 and then every subsequent day "just one more". So on 2/1/09 you need to make £2, 3/1/09 - £3... 10/4/09 - £100... 31/12/09 - £365!!! If you can stay on track until New Year's Eve then you will have amassed £66,795 - easy, peasy!
Now in all honesty I don't expect anyone to actually accomplish this, but imagine if someone did - imagine it was you...
So I'll be opening a separate savings account and starting the 67KC in 11 weeks time, let's see how far I can go.

Can only wish you good luck and it will be interesting to see how far into the year you get! A ludicrous idea is probably going to get you a bit further than not trying at all........ so what plans do you have?
