Well done everyone. Nearly there! Who's managed it, do we have a grand total at the end?
I've jus tbeen given a cheque for £39.95 for cakes, but as it won't clear til next week I'm counting it in February's total. When does the next thread start?0 -
My total is £532.02 for this month so far, though I have a matched bet that settles tomorrow so will add that. Has the February thread started yet? I'm sure I saw it earlier but now I can't find it :S0

Nice work everyone - it's looking good for the month end totals. :T
I can see that I am going to underachieve this month, as what is owed to me won't come in until next month now. I have committed to increase my challenge amount to £10 a day in February, and reckon I have about £80 due next week.
That may be just as well, as I have found out today that I may be at risk for redundancy; they are pressing me to come in next week for a discussion, although I have been signed off work sick since March 2008, and don't think I will be well enough to go back for a while yet as per my GP. Will need to look on here/ACAS and talk to the union rep first, I think. I am not getting paid now, so no really biggie immediately, but I am still living off my savings, and want to make sure I keep on top of things. Less of a debtfreewannabe and more of a wannastaydebtfreebe.
Anyway, I've decided to have tonight off from thinking about it, as it is only making me feel foul - off to earn some bp points instead of stressing.0 -
Hi just got £10 from one of my scratchcard sites plus another £5 from Bp - not sure I am going to make my target - only 1 day left.... I have got £12 in another bingo site but they want id b4 they will let me withdraw and I'm at about £9.50 on another but.... I was expecting my ipoints to come in I think they are worth about £110 but I have had to raise queries.... so assuming I get them it is likely to be next month now...

Managed to save myself £3.00 in Tesco today with coupons etc. My only wish is that I had looked through the free paper before I went shopping rather than afterwards because I found a £5 voucher in there to spend in Tesco so I shall keep it for next month because I need to spend £20 to get the saving.0
