    Yippee! Just had an email to say that one of my books on Amazon has sold for £65!! Even with postage (to the US) and fees I will clear £50. :j It didn't cost me anything either! So that gives me £143.71 raised so far - just £1056.20 to go!

  • Right this sounds like a good plan, 1200 quid would be about half the credit card so would be very welcome! Think I'll start tomorrow by heading up to the loft and punting some more stuff on ebay.

    180.40 tracked on quidco :) £25.96 earned cashback on greasypalm, oh and £6 rpoints :)

    that will be me under a grand if i get paid it all :)
  • ok, so 5 hours gardening today has earnt me £45!!!

    So thats £110 now.............(I haven't been paid for my last lot of gardening yet, I submitted the invoice on tuesday before the challenge started.......bum!!)

    In fact, just before this challenge started I also got £100 from quidco transactions, literally on Monday, but I haven't been paid for them, sooooo my question is do we count money that we get cash wise in our hand since the challenge started, or just purely earnings we make since this started.......hmmmmm.........someone with 5 minutes make up some rules please!!!
