    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?
    Yes of course - just kidding

    I'm a long time lurker on the forums and have decided to join this challenge, not because I'm in debt but because I am trying to move and getting rid of junk and having a few extra pounds to spend would come in handy. I've joined pigsback and am off to list some stuff on EBay, I have already listed some books on Amazon and on Greenmetropolis. I will be aiming for bronze level.

    PM me if you're not on here (and should be), or if your challenge level is incorrect. Hallam_Macca, I'm aware you're not aiming for any specific level, but I've listed you as bronze, for the sake of my spreadsheet formulae!

    The challenge ends on July 7th, which is a Saturday, and started today, Sunday, so I'll be arranging the data weekly, with each week starting at midnight every Sunday morning, and running through to midnight the following Saturday night.

    Trawling through all the sigs will take me forever, so I would ask that you either PM or email me your totals sometime during each Sunday, and I shall endeavour to update the spreadsheet sometime in the following couple of days, and publish the updated results on a wednesday.

    Please note that there are currently 104 Olympians, but there is a 50 message limit on my PM inbox. As such, you may find it full. Feel free to email me your totals instead - my email address is [EMAIL="philltownsNOSPAM@googlemail.com"]philltownsNOSPAM@googlemail.com[/EMAIL] (remove the capital letters).

    Good luck again to all. I'm already worrying about where to make my £16 from today!

    WoA
  • As DataMaster :D , I intend to come up with some interesting bits and bobs about the totals. So here's the first:

    If all of the 104 Olympians signed up so far achieve their targets, between us we will have saved..... *drumroll please*....

  • Wow that is a pretty impressive list and amount that could be raised - well done everyone and good luck :T

    A quick question as I never did this before. I am getting £50 in vouchers from work as a bonus, now I have bought them for companies that I can give away as birthday gifts, I am hoping they will arrive this week, now can I include the £50 straight away or can I only use it when it is turned into cash, e.g. swapping the cash I normally spend for a voucher? Also what happens with pigsback vouchers are the vouchers included as they are or do I need to sell them to someone or myself?

    Thanks

  • Personally I would wait until you use it on something you would have paid cash for anyway.

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

    You get 4p for a Carsourse search and I think you can search twice a day.
