  • Whoo-hoo, the Microsoft Office 2000 (Business) is selling! 6 peeps watching now and starting at £2.99... almost all other items are bid on, but small amounts, hoping that will change. Particularly for the cute elephant piggy I have on sale - anyone want to bid on him and give him an MSE home!? (plus get me to £300 he he) :D

    There's no way i will double my money and this is my last week, so I am watching the auctions like a hawk - they finish tomorrow night though so I won't be updated in the Challenge List :o I will get it to as close as i can based on today's current bids.

    Cheers

    Annie - I've just been to Tesco and couldn't find the H&B leaflet (what does H&B stand for ? Health & Beauty?) I could only find their free magazine which doesn't appear to have any vouchers in.

    I also did the charity shops but found nothing of great interest.

    I've just put my biggest matched bet on since I started, got the same odds at the bookies and betfair so I'm quite pleased! :)

    Might stick some more stuff on eBay this weekend, have some stuff on Amazon but that's slowed down a bit... only have 2 more weeks before I'm off to France so need to make a dent in my target!

    Would anyone be up for joining me on this challenge in the new year? We could have a starting date of say January 8th.... That should give us sufficient time to plan our attack! ;) Would be nice to follow other people's progress through the challenge...

    Have a go if you think you're hard enough!

    This won't be any good to you now but I put my £25 free bet from Totesport on Tottenham to win against Arsenal at 5.5, and laid it at Betfair at 5.5 as well. Just got another £19ish profit, really need to sit down and work it all out again... :D

    I don't finish this challenge till mid January so I'll probably give this one a miss... or I might just carry on again once I have finished, don't know yet.
