    Sorry but could you please remove me from this challenge.

    Have looked into my finances :eek: and have to aim much higher so will join the £12,000 thread.

    Good luck everyone.
  • Please could I join? I tried the £11,000 challenge last year and couldn't get anywhere near it so this challenge is far more realistic for me!
    Thanks.

  • Can I join? I am a skint post grad student and would like extra money. My goal is to save for a new place to rent by the end of 2012 :) (just have to use this year to convince OH the benefits of moving from here!). I already do surveys and click through cash back websites. Need other money making ideas me thinks.

    mennie - can you add me too please?
  • Got the spreadsheet so now to get started :j
    Thinking of joining a cashback site as so many people rave about it on here!! But bit confused about them all - anyone recommend a particular one?

    So hope eBay has free listing soon too!!

    I've been using TopCashBack for the last 12 months' and got over £150 back in 2011 and like someone else mentioned it's free and really easy to use and you can either get paid by Bacs, Paypal or in Amazon vouchers, the payouts are very quick too

    Huge thanks to everyone who takes the time and effort to post all the comps! :T

    To those who emailed earlier today I have sent out the requested spreadsheet. Good luck everyone!

    I'm going to try and update my ticker once a month once I've had totals in from all my income sources. Off to find a little bit of freelancing work now!

    My daughter starts 2 days at nursery tomorrow so will have some spare time on my hands!

    Ok, OH has put a couple of things on ebay so a good start (mobiles that were just sat in the top kitchen drawer), but whilst clearing through a drawer in the bedroom I found an old holiday purse that has over 50 euros in it. OH says that this is cheating if I add this to my amount as is technically money that I had anyway, but would like your views on this as this would get me off to a start.

    THanks,
