I've looked into the breakdown of my total and it stands like this:-
overtime - £434.21
mileage from work - £323.68
sale of vouchers - £45
phone refunds - £103.31
matched betting - £75.36
mystery shopping - £51

Clearly the big one was my rebate, but hopefully should reach gold with a large overtime payment due this month!!!DFW nerd 144

Yay, just sold another item on ebay and have finally been able to do a paypal transfer so thats another £51.16 to add to my total and just in the nick of time!!
Won't have much more to add now, maybe a bit of overtime next week and then I am going to add the last scraps in my change jar and some £2 coins for a final push!!Boots Card - £17.53, Nectar Points - £15.06 - *Saving for Chrimbo*2015 Savings Fund - £2575.000 -

I've calculated what I've gained in extra cash etc since the challenge began and I'm glad to say that I'm currently on £1882.46 and I've got a car boot to do (or a few really) and I'm expecting to be reimbursed for a clerical error made by someone else so I'm hoping that I get reimbursed the full hotel fees this week.
I'm expecting some cashback for my phone contract and my car insurance is due before the end of the challenge which can be reduced and then a bit of money from cashback sites so I'm hoping that I get towards the silver mark before the end of challenge.
Will try ebay tomorrow but the last time I tried nothing sold so will see if anything goes this time I suppose!0 -

Another £10 for the pot.
I guess it shows I could have really gone for it in a big way if i'd have signed up when the challenge started!"Stay Wonky":D

Morning everyone,
I can add another 42.00 from babysitting, bringing my total to 2502.46
I'm absolutely staggered by the total. I've paid off so much of my debt with this.
Have a good day all

I have a 'challenge dilemma'. i've changed mortgages and I have been sent a refund cheque for £637.88. I plan to save it and would like to put it towards my Olympic total, but it feels a bit of a cheat.
It isn't bank charges, but at the same time Ihaven't 'earned' it.
Not sure."Stay Wonky":D

Keren, I would add it. Well done you. :cool:Boots Card - £17.53, Nectar Points - £15.06 - *Saving for Chrimbo*2015 Savings Fund - £2575.000

Keren- I'd add it as without this challenge/board, you might have just lost it as it would have been spent on something else.
