    £10 deducted from scratchcards bringing me closer to the £400 mark. Still no signs of the A$da cashback coming through, though!
    I reserve the right not to spend.

    Claimed £50 from Dooyoo today :) Wondering if I can make another £50 on there before end of challenge but doubt it lol.

    I am now halfway there and probably won't get much more!
