Well done, Stacy! :T:T:T

I've just checked bank and there's a payment in for £53 but I haven't a clue where it has come from. Should know more by tomorrow when online banking updates - fngers crossed it's cashback or a refund from something

Not been doing well, but had a slight boost so will prob end at just over halfway:

Add £205 rebate from Apple, banked the cheque
£185 selling something on eBay
£1.51 quidco cashback


Will also get some money for tutoring next week This is still my worst £1000 in 100 days challenge so far, mainly cos I have been busy and got huge backlog of eBay/carboot stuff! Need to pull my thumb out

Another £53.26 for me by way of a rebate, so I've made it just over one third of the way there so far. Hoping to push it closer to £400 but, with only 20 days left to go, it isn't looking too good. On a better note, when I combine it with the first 100 days of 2009, I'll be delighted if I can make that the £1000, especially as my 'everything else' spending has greatly slowed down now that most of the basics for my Frugaldom project have been bought and set up - roll on self-sufficient(ish) living.
Didn't win anything on Premium Bonds this month but I guess two wins this year, so far, is pretty good considering I have so few bonds. :cool:

Current challenge status:

Spent - £1,444.98, Recouped £981.69
I'd like to neutralise all the above spending by Christmas but it would be nice to achieve the £1000 in 100 days between now and then, too.

Just got paid £384 for tutoring the last 2 months... Only £140 short - and 8 days to go! I might try and list stuff on eBay.... Good luck to everyone else in the last week!

Just a quick question whilst we still have 9 days to go - those of you who include bingo winnings, are these winnings all from free bingo or have you to pay to play? Just wondering

£5.87 from TCB, so I'm still nowhere close to hitting the 'grand'. I passed the one third target though £987.56 is my total for this entire year to date, so I'm going to try my hardest to sell something in the next 9 days so I can make it past the £1000 mark on that count, at least.

longhill

my money from bingo is from the free scratch cards i sometime play the bingo or slots with it but never my own money:D and i only count it when i have withdrawn it

Frugaldom

That's brilliant, Longhill. I'm an extra £5 up with the freebies as they did free bingocards last week. Just got email from Sun saying next week they have freebies, so time yet. 100 days doesn't end until 19th, I got wrong date on title and the forum doesn't let me change title of first post

Day 200 (this is second challenge of the year) is Sunday 19th July, so we still have 9 days to go.

I joined bingobritain as they give you £5 free for 30 days after you deposit £5 and I have had quite a few wins from them which is what all my recent free bingo wins are.
