    Roomontheend and yummymummy20, I have now added your names in preparation for the next challenge beginning 11th April. Welcome on board and good luck.

    This is for extra cash over and above earned income from employment, so every penny counts, even if it is, literally, a penny you find on the street. I only count cashback, vouchers, winnings and sales when decluttering, so I am very, very slow and have failed to reach my £1000 target in both previous challenges, so I'm hoping it'll be third time lucky! :D

    Damn, don't think I'm going to make it! I'm up to £799.35 now. I know I've got some more money in my change pot that I need to count up and pay in so I'll do that before Friday. Fingers crossed for a lot of birthday money on Thursday!!!!

    Nyk - Count me in for the next challenge please. It's car boot season again!!

    Hi JennyBee, you did not too badly, if I may say so - almost 80% If that had been an exam result, you'd have been delighted, so look at it that way :D Hmm... I scraped through on 57% I think :rotfl:

    Hello! Could I please join in the next challenge? I really need the motivation to actually stick to money making, I'm hoping that this will do it!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Hiya! I'm not going to make it either .... I've left off the matched betting, I'm afraid, and I've had *very* few mystery shops, they dried up completely for a while. Total isn't too bad still, its now £795.11, and another tenner from a scratchcard is on its way, which might get here in time to get it over the £800 mark: as nyk says, in an exam that'd be 80%, so thats okay.

    Recent parts of that include £27 mystery shopping, £10 Sainsbury's voucher from ipoints, money off bits from Sainsbury and Homebase on essential purchases, and £10 not taken from the bank on my weekly money but transferred straight to the overpayment pot. I also have some change, but I won't count that at the mo - tho I might to see if it gets me to the £800 mark! :)

  • I'm very definitely not going to make it! Up to £122.88 now thanks to some credit from o2 and 80p from Quidco :rotfl:

    Please can you put me down for the next challenge, Nyk - I promise to do better :D

    Well done to all those who made it (or nearly made it, or made anything at all!)
