    Ops posted in the wrong bit. Think this is the place.

    Can I join & actually try & do it this year? I joined last year but didn't keep up although I stopped smoking which saved loads of money & got myself an occasional caretaking job - so in a way I did.
    This time I must keep up & try ebaying my clutter to start off - have never ebayed before & need this group as incentive, kicks up the behind.
  • good afternoon everyone ;-)

    i think im gona join too if theres room for a little one lol!!

    i have 101 thing i need money for, to start with theres [STRIKE] my [/STRIKE] our wedding, oh's 30th birthday (few years away yet but wnt to surprise him with a trip to vegas :cool: ) plus £6k of card & credit union debt!

    i will ebay, use quidco, save my £2 coins in a sealed tin, and might even try matched betting

    i work full time so doubt i will get anywhere near £11k but as ive just had my hours cut, i might use my wages from my second job to put away - well any left over once the bills have been paid!!

    good luck everyone :j

    Put me down too please, did the 10000 one this year which enabled us to go on holiday and keep on track of debts...they have all gone down and also do Christmas not on a credit card!!!

    See you all in January!!

    I'd love to join a thing like this but £11,000 won't be possible for me, as I graduated in July and haven't managed to find a 'proper' job yet :( gutted! I'll have to set myself a little target and see if I can get there via ebay & other random ways! :)

    alma you will be surprised what is possible and how quickly it can add up!

    I am trying to see if I can managed the double up way of making a dent into the challenge' love the theory but struggling with ideas!!

    Month 1: £10 double it =£20
    Month 2: £20 double it =£40
    month 3: £40 double it = £80
    month 4 £80 double it = £160
    month 5 £160 double it = £320
    month 6 £320 double it =£640
    month 7 £640 double it = £1280
    month 8 £1280 double it = £2560
    month 9 £2560 double it = £5120
    month 10 £5120 double it = £10240
    month 11 ....well you get the idea!!

    Jo, somehow I missed this theory last year, or maybe I wasn't in the right place to appreciate it!! Either way sorry for repeating you I a just intrigued if I could do anything remotely like this....like most things it sounds so easy in theory!!

    loving how many people want to join in this challenge :). I joined last year and have never regretted it..... I have met some wonderful people, had support and understanding and never felt judged. It is a friendly forum and my finances might not be £10 k healthier but def. Better off by a few k and I have learnt so much and tried new things along the way too .....
    Life is a work in progress
  • Looking forward to getting this started. I started trying to make extra income in August this year, as you can see in my sig, and made a decent little bit to help towards xmas without taking it too seriously so am igtrigued into how far I can go if I put the effort it.

    11k on top of my wages wont be reached by me unless I win one of the countless competitons I enter hee hee. £30 a day that would equate to and by gum thats tough. Still gonna be fun doing this and I hope to meet some new people and also be introduced to new ways of making some wonga
