    £41 transferred over to my savings account from my current account:

    £10 not buying any diet coke since I started the challenge
    £20 the amount I would spend on diet coke in June and I'm sticking to squash!
    £11 saving from phoning the gas/electric company and reducing payment.

    Its been a really quiet week or so on this front (so busy at Uni it is unreal that I have no time to devote to anything else it seems). I have only made £180 this week but have updated my signature nevertheless, can't complain I guess as it is 2months exactly to the date that I started the challenge and it is money I would have just spent on randomness :p

    Hope everyone else is doing much better!

    p.s finally started wading through the quidco jungle and must say it is quite easy to get the hang of. Already made £27!

    Well done to Eagerlearner and theluckiswithme

    Having a slightly better week - doing 2 psychology experiments this lunchtime so will have done 4 this week in total (£12).

    Both sets of vouchers sold on ebay - another - £20 ish (will work out when I get home tonight) so I may almost make my target for the week. :j

    3 lots on ebay last night - doing them on turbo lister before really helped as with one click they were on ebay - 1 has a bid already and all have watchers :j

    right better get on with some more work (or forum reading...) before I go to do my experiments.

    Have a good weekend everyone.

    Hey,

    not been on here in ages but now that uni has just about finished thought it was time i updated.

    Up to £366.41 which i think is excellent, big part of that was using quidco as i got £100 for doing my home insurance through them. Everytime i want to book something i check with them first. Got my sister into it now too.

    Just started doing more clickthrough sites so we'll see how much that earns me.

    Don't think i'll make bronze but ill go down fighting, got more stuff on ebay - have you all stopped using the code seems its only about my stuff on there?:o
    Summer Sizzler Challenge 2009 bronze level = £387.25 (23/06/2009)

    Hi All

    Just come back from my first car boot sale and taken home £28 clear, other's were complaining it was very quiet there but I was happy enough to take that. Supposed to do another one tomorrow locally so will have to empty the car and re-arrange a few things, I think it'll be at least 1 less box to carry, thought some things would go and others wouldn't so will take variation again tomorrow (depending on weather - and if I can get up early again tomorrow!)

    Also saving the £25 I normally put towards student loan on this as I finished paying last month :j so at least £50 towards final push.
