    Going for Bronze but hoping for silver. Looking forward to getting my cheque from Greasy Palm next week, which will be for £62, so good start I feel!

    I'm going to join as another first time challenger.

    Put me down for the Silver!
  • I've put down the £52 from quidco, £10 for babysitting, 21p found when I was out. Hope to put another £100 by end of next week £20 goodwill gesture from CC so I wouldn't move the account and £80 charges refund. So it's going well.

    Well done to Annie and Jet for starting this challenge - it was mentioned in martin's weekly email this week! :money:

    I placed my first matched bet yesterday, it will finish a day before the challenge officially starts but I am going to count it anyway (assuming that I got the concept right and don't lose my money) as it's only 1 day out.

    Good luck everyone, only 3 days to go...

    Sign me up for Bronze, please>

    I started today by doing my first mystery shop for Grassroots which paid £10 but also gave me £40 to spend in the store and I was able to get something suitable for my son's birthday tomorrow.
    I have looked out a pile of books and dvd's to sell on Amazon and will be clearing out sons wardrobe this weekend and putting all outgrown clothes on ebay.
    Also plan to send the bank charges letter to MBNA.

    Yes,

    I've got the missus to join me on this challange (is that allowed?). We're going to have a rummage round the house this weekend and either carboot or ebay any unwanted items starting with the 'urn' I won for her at a fairground when we first started dating.

    Good Luck to everyone.

    Regards,
    FatJock
