Well done, guys. Free money has kind of dried up here but I'm always hopeful of a Premium Bond win :rotfl:I reserve the right not to spend.

ONLY 3 WEEKS LEFT TO GO!
This challenge ends on Sunday 19th, at midnight. I am trying to assess how much extra I have managed to make but it's got very confusing, although I have written it all down. The figure in my signature for my cash-neutral challenge is the amount I have made over the duration of both challenges, so I need to find last results and deduct them to get my balance - so far, I have kept forgetting to do this.
The £14.00 arrived in my account from Butl!n$ bingo, including £5 from their free bingo last week and I think I already mentioned that I got my £68 cashback from insurance, plus a £25 premium bond win - that's £75 this year alreadyOff to work out my total. Hope everyone else is doing alright.
Edited in: OK, I worked it out, it's pretty poor but it's better than nothing. Extra non-work related money is difficult to find these days. Pretend you can't read this, I'm only at £291.28I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.

I will be continuing with my cash neutral challenge, so will probably continue with this, despite never getting anywhere close to the £1000 :rotfl: There's only 20 days to go here, so there's still time to win the Premium Bonds or strike it rich somehow.
Will add your name for the next challenge
Edited in - Nobody had noticed that the date on post 1 was wrong. :rotfl: This challenge is set over 100 days, so from Day 101 on 11th April, it ends on Day 200, which is actually the 19th July. Challenge 4 will begin on 20th July (day 201) and will end at midnight on day 300, tuesday 27th October 2009.I reserve the right not to spend.
