    101?? Wow!

    I've just found £1 of 20ps in my OH's jean's pocket (that were waiting for the wash) so I've stolen them :). I think this challenge is going to become addictive.

    Really excited that this has started now. I was so tempted to start early but I am glad I managed to hold on until today.

    I have got quite a bit to list on Ebay later. They are all freebies or prizes too so whatever I get will be profit.

    I am starting the challenge with £1 worth of 1p's that I had saved up.

    Good luck everyone

    Oh dear poppycracker - I don't think stealing money counts? Mind you would you have done it if you weren't on the challenge??? Is it something you are doing purely for the challenge??? then I spose it counts just this once though -BOYS and GIRLS DON'T DO THIS AT HOME!!!!!!:rotfl:

    I'm using Kelkoo and shopping.com for the 10p clickthroughs at the moment - any other sites I should be trying through quidco??

    Hi Emily
    Spose we have the added input of free prizes to sell from the compers challenge (If and when I actually win anything)
    Good luck

    I didn't really steal them, I asked him if I could have them :). I got a piggybank from Pigsback ages ago, so they're in there, waiting for more friends to go towards this challenge. Is that OK?

    I know, I haven't managed to win anything this year yet (apart from a blow up red nose chair!).

    We will win something soon I am sure ;)

  • Ok, so can I add my quidco money in there as it will pay out (hopefully) during this period, it tracked back in October but we all know how slow they are (actually this is my first time with quidco)?
    Real men never follow instructions; after all they are just the manufacturer's opinion on how to put something together. :p
  • Hi all,

    The list of 'entrants' is coming along nicely - lots of you here. I'll upload it a bit later today, and you can check that you're there, and on the right challenge.
