    I'm gonna wait til Friday before I put my final figure on here - just want to wait until my last overtime pay finds its way to the bank. I have done some mystery shopping, which I have been really enjoying, but I won't get my first payment from them until around the 28th. I might do this challenge again after this week is up - I've found it quite motivating!!

    Right, have finally worked out my GRAND TOTAL (better late than never!), and it turns out I'm only £11.99 short of £1024!!:j . Really pleased with everything I have done, but sooooo wish I could have achieved the whole £1024!! I've been trying all day to find a way of making that last little bit, but no can do!

    Well done everyone who took this challenge and kept on it week in week out! If anyone hears about another one like this, starting soonish, can you let me know as I really enjoyed working towards this one (nice to have a focal point for my money worries!).

    You have no idea how much this thread has helped get me motivated Jet so big thank you for starting off the challenge :T and well done everyone:T:T:T

    So, next question, are we going to do it again or join another challenge lol......I can't get motivated on my own, not that I could motivate Jet to MB either come to think of it :p
