£1000 in 100 Days, 1st Jan - 10th Apr 2009

Karmacat

Late addition after my update today: a £5 Amazon voucher from lightspeed, hurray.

Frugaldom

Well done, everyone! No matter how much or how little (in my case) we made extra, the main thing to remember is that it IS extra. I hope you have all been spending it or saving it wisely. Mine has all gone on the longterm frugalisation of my new (rented) house & garden

I've just checked my TCB account and there's a notice on it that A$da has agreed to pay the cashback or woprds to that effect, so it shouldn't be long now before we are able to get at that lovely £68. It'll be a good start to my next attempt at 'hitting the grand'. In actual fact, I'll be pleased to just neutralise all my non-household budget expenses and replace any savings I need to spend. I guess it's also time to start looking at filling the new ISA.

*Both* of my scratchcards reached withdrawal point - £20 to add! Total now stands at £820.11

Can I rename the next challenge so I don't look so bad? How about £100 in 100 days? £500 in 100 days? :rotfl:I'm trying to think of what else I can possibly do to scrape a few extra pounds together in the next challenge and it's almost impossible without winning any of it - are there any fees to pay if I did 99p listings on eBay and then the items didn't sell?

Ohhhhh I vote £100 in 100 days - I've only just broken through the £100 barrier this time - £103.05 to be precise! :rotfl:
To be fair I'm
a) not counting money I don't spend in the month. (I'm carrying it forwards fir the rest of the year in the 4k challenge)
b) only counting vouchers I've received when I use them up. (It got too confusing transferring the money as they arrived last time in this challenge)
c) not including any interest earned. (which I did last time)
d) scared of ebay!

taka Don't be scared of ebay! The only problem is it's addictive. I've been doing it for about a year, but have now come to a point where my house is nearly empty! Shuffles off to look for something else to sell.....

Frugaldom

Just broke through the £600 mark to £617.21 :j

Now, if I could just find another £382.79 within the next 48 hours or so. :rotfl:

I'm not doing too badly but it's still over £400 short of neutralising all my spends to date. I'll just keep carrying them over, though, as I need to make it a cash neutral year for my 'everything else' budget. I wonder if anyone wants to buy some lettuce leaves or a freshly laid bantam egg (I have only one so far)?

Hmmm that would be a welcome side effect! What an incentive! An empty decluttered home... Well I can dream... :rolleyes: :rotfl: And get paid for it... :j :T :rotfl:

*wanders off to carry on decluttering my flat... yep thats seriously what I'm doing all this week! :rolleyes: :rotfl: *
