I really don't mind BM - we would get more support there as there are more of them, but it could be just as good with a few of us???????
Let me know your feelings

Hi All
I am so excited I can't wait to get started, DH sorted out some stuff for me to put on ebay, I am going to do this over the weekend. I have also found some vouchers for money off etc... and I am going to see how they do on ebay too.
I am also going to create a mini spreadsheet at the weekend, so that I can record everything.
Thanks Annie & Wings for overseeing it all
Goodluck everyone2007 Olympic Challange - Going for Bronze - Total so far: £98.250 -
will do a weekly update using people's sigs
the couple of times I did the £1024 totals I found it very time consuming to check all the sigs, it was much easier to get everyone to pm me, also that made sure that everyone was still taking part in the chellenge!
at least then it involves some audience participation and people have to take some action rather than sit there and have it all done for them! just give us all a cut off day and time.
But of course its entirely up to you, but think of the time you would save (seeing as we already have 8 pages on this thread), time that could be used making yet more money!!!!
roll on the 7th I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!0 -

Here comes ebay........did I post in the right place btw?Nerd Number 201 - Geek chic!0 -

i agree with finallydebtfree
if there are 80-100 people to find their last post and what sig they had would take you ages
but then isn't it a maximum of 50 private messages?
Have started by listing an Now 23 double cd, have a fair bit of free stuff from the last challenge which didn't cost me anything (bit of a doh! statement) so will bung that on to kick start my totalDebt of £6300 cleared in 5 years, now ZERO0 -
Count me in too!! Mmmmmmmm.......what shall I go for!! It will be me and partner doing this together! So we will go for GOLD!!!! Blokey is wanting to do more overtime and can get a bonus at work. Im getting into mystery shopping and I LOVE selling everything I can get my hands on!! So I will go mad and try and do this challenge. We really need a kick start to clear our debts! Would be a great acheivement!0

I have signed up with an additional mystery shopping company and have 4 visits booked in for next week.
I will make sure that I deduct my expenses etc so that I only include "profit" in my challenge totals.
I have made a start already (started on 1st Jan) and have cancelled my gym membership (saving £50 a month) and swopped my phone and broadband over (saving £10 a month) as well as putting a couple of things on ebay, one of which has met reserve, and signing up for pigsback and quidco.
So all in all a good start, but as someone pointed out earlier, to achieve gold, I have to make an extra £16 every day! :eek: Somehow I think I have my work cut out!
Hope everyone enjoys this challenge, and thanks to those who are organising it.Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0
