You know you can have everthing you wont in life if you help others get what they wont.
Sounds silly well maybe but have a think about it and you will see its very true. A bit like its not what you know its who your know.
As for joining you then yes this year i may. I will have a think about it. But even if i dont i trully know they i will see many of you on here vat the top one day. At the top dose not mean that you will be runing tesco.(but you may be) Being at the top means many many things. Being at thge top is were you wont to be and were you should be. Its not all about money its about living trully living and loveing and being loved.:jYou can have everything you wont in lfe, If you only help enough other people to get what they wont.:j0 -

Halight,
I remember you too. you are right about what success means and we have all got so much more from this challenge than the financial side of things as I'm sure you'll have seen if you've been watching us off and on.
Would be great if you joined us.
I also understand that you may not feel the need to as well. Still nice to know you are cheering us on.

James there are no real rules but the general idea is to make an extra amount of money above what you would usually have done.
This year spurred on by the thread I managed to get some part time work that I can fit round being the stay at home mum. It was directly as a result of this thread that I went for and go it so I have included that money. It has boosted my total by about £2.5k. I won't be counting it in my challenge next year as it is something I already know I will earn up until september at least.
People have included money they have not spent by buying wisely and cashback and winnings etc. it is up to you to work out your own specifications for what works for you.

Can I join in too? I don't think I'll get right the way to 11k, but I'm leaving work to go back to Uni full-time in March so every penny will count!Sealed Pot Challenge - member 1109:j0
