my quidco money now says paid!!! yay, now just have to wait for it to reach my account, can I count this now or shall I wait till its in my account? is there likely to be any problems? the cash back is £8 (-£5 admin as its my first ever payment!) from churchill for my travel insurance for my holiday in sept, I want to count it as it will take me over £100, but if there is any problems then Ill have to take it off again! suppose its no different than counting my amazon money before it hits my account.

What do you guys think?

Unlikely to be a problem if it says paid - will be in your account in a couple of days so count it. I'm counting matched betting profits that I am keeping in my Betfair account to carry on matched betting. Way I see it is that the money is new money, I could withdraw it anytime (and do when it reaches a certain point) but this way I am making it into more money!

well the ebay money will be in by next Sunday

and the money which i have saved from walking to work and other ways has been added

so the total is now £199.61 (when is ahead of where i should be for Bronze, and is a few quid ahead on the Silver level)

Thanks FDF - you mentioning quidco reminded me that I had some quidco money received. Just checked and it has been paid! So I can add that to my total - along with some more matched betting profit - making an extra £62.03.
Total at the end of week 3: £440.05 :j

Most people seem to be doing really well and are probably ahead of target

If the same amount was raised each week of the challenge then this weekend then

the bronze target is £116.19
the silver target is £193.11
the gold target is £269.49

Good luck everyone with getting to their target

also wanted to say thanks woa for the latest newsletter!!

was wondering if there was any chance you could do a top 5 or something? so we can see who is making the most at a quick glance? (I know Ill never get into it but would be nice to see!)

on behalf of all of us here im sure, thanks for the tremedous effort you have put into it each week!

Just checked email before I head off to bed and have sold another print - just snuck in before midnight so will count it in this week's total. So total for week £148.26 (target £115) - total so far: £444.94 (target: £345). Really pleased with that - just need to keep it going!

Just PMed my total to WOA - don't forget to do that as it makes for great reading in the newsletter . We are doing fantastically as a group . A big group hug is in order

A good start to this new week as I have £73.60 (after deductions) to add to my total for overtime that I did:D

Not a sausage this week Never mind, next week will be a bumper one for me as I will be getting lots of lovely overtime for a temporary promotion I have had at work:j
The best news however is that OH has got some weekend work coming up over the next couple of months. He will have to go away all weekend, so we will not see very much of each other, but the money is so worth it! It is a real break for us so we are both very happy:j It will make a good dent into our debt total, and of course all add towards the challenge, so maybe I will make bronze - at the moment it is not looking too promising:rotfl:
Have a good week everyone
