2007 Olympic Challenge

Frugal_Fox

Well spoke with hubby last night about this challenge... He's now on board with me to try to get to Gold - particularly as that would be a sizeable chunk to pay off our debts.

Popped into Bodycare today and found a TWELVE pack of toothbrushes for 49p!!! So - if I stretch them out to a new brush every 4 months thats a years worth of tooth brushes for us. Previously it would cost £5 to replace the brushes for us all - so my find today will save me £19.51 over the year... can I put that in or just half a years worth?? Whats the verdict?

Happy new week all,

I've been trawling through the thread to find the secret code that people are using on Ebay but I haven't found it. Would somebody please tell me what it is and how I do it.
I want to play too

just put it somewhere in your listings description in either colour or white writing, I prefer to do mine in white.

just added £20 to my total from mutual.net, apart from that a bit slow at the mo, although i have taken on some extra work, so the money from that should come in next week:j

what is mutual.net? never heard of it

my £25 has tracked on quidco for opening my cahoot account, although it wont pay out until march never mind, will be something coming in when the ebaying dries up as there will be nothing left in the house! (just me, my bed and pyjamas-the essentials! )

if i walked to work instead of taking the underground from waterloo... could i include the money saved in my funds?

Okay - I'm going with all of the £19.51 - technically a virtual saving... however the cash has now been transferred over to my Cahoot account which I am using just for this challenge! I'd opened the Cahoot account on the money for nothing challenge so I've already had my £25 for that!!!

I think some others are including savings from walking to work instead of using public transport. weather permitting am going to attempt the 1 hour walk to work tomorrow :undecided not sure if it will be a permenant thing or if I will even include it in the challenge if it is (as I said before I am trying really hard this year to save money wherever possible, hopefully this month Ill be able to save at least £250 on top of my usual £220 )
