    I'm plodding on with this challenge, i am not counting money til its in my bank account. Signed up with topcashback and have approx £20 on there, but i cannot withdraw it until its been confirmed - and there is no indication of how long this may take. Whats the approx time it takes? Days, weeks or months? Aprils challenge will hopefully be easier :)
    Saving for a house :T
    Will question every purchase I make!
