Hi guys, some great results for many of you, so far! I've just done a tally of more 'free' money I've managed to raise and it amounts to a further £80.13 bringing my total to £912.54 including the eBid sales and less the postage payments!! :j This means that I could succeed IF I can rake up another £87.46 over the next 10 days... runs off excitedlyto think hard about what could be done to raise that amount of money. :rotfl:My cash neutral challenge is looking like it could be achieved! I'm only £281.62 short on that now! :TI reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.

Hi guys and gals,
It's the final day of the challenge then we'll close the thread tomorrow. I hope everyone's enjoyed trying to squeeze out every extra penny they can by doing this and that whatever you have earned has been put to good use with regards to clearing those debts, adding to those savings or paying for whatever you had planned.
I haven't quite made it to the £1000 but without the challenge, I'd have let everything fall by the wayside. Thanks for joining me her and I'll see you all next year when I start a brand new 'cash neutral' challenge.I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.

Thanks nykmedia for the challenge. I doubt I'll have any more money coming in, so haven't reached the target, but did much better than I expected.
Do we declare amounts tomorrow then?
