    So far I've made £34.81. Not bad considering I'be been on holidays and then came home and had a wedding the next day. I've been doing free scratchcards, had one tutoring session and put all the change into ym jar. I've bought new can banks and will be putting my £1 and £2 coins into it, not technically additional money I know but if left in purse I'd spend it so at the end of challenge it'll be money I wouldn't have had so not going to count them in until end of challenge.

    Hi all! I'm joining in as many of these as I can in order to pay off loan and credit card then I can work on reducing the mortgage term!

    I'll go for bronze I think.

    Not sure how to 'PM' - is it done by using the 'quick reply'?

    Thank you Hope. Due to ill health I can't do overtime or 2nd job and only work part time. Please put me down for a Bronze But my target will be £510. I bought a couple of months ago a sealed tin money box, which is doing ok, but that was specifically for Christmas, so guess that's a start.

    Well today I have bagged up some change ready to bank on Saturday and I am listing a few more bits on ebay. I don't add it as actual cash until its banked or until I transfer a paypal payment to my bank account.

    It's very quiet on this thread. So, how's everyone else doing?

    Purple roses - its £38.30 that you didn't have last week!

    I'm at £38.91 though this doesn't count my £1 and £2 coin banks which I'm not going to count until the end of the challenge - or if they are full - hee hee who am I kidding!
