2007 Olympic Challenge (Part Two)

Got a cheque for £50 as a good will gesture for making a complaint about something, nearer silver everyday!

Burlesque_Babe

banked the cheque and I'm going to add it to my total.

After the challenge ends, all the money is going to go towards my mortgage free challenge the MFW board.

Nearly at Bronze!

Right, today I'm going to concentrate on getting all the last little bits and pieces to get up to silver!

So far I've got a £5 mum's opinions boots voucher and another 7.41 from Ciao (finally had a couple of decent surveys!). So that makes:
1972.78 so I'm going to see what else I've got that I can cash in

£34.22 to get!!!

Another £5 from valued opinions and £5.00 worth of vouchers from TNS - so I'm putting this in the challenge pot.

24.22 to get - think I might need to get on ebay

Hang on, I made some savings with downgrading mobile package- just off to see what I got and then I'll transfer the cash across to my challenge money

OK- back - saved £35 this month alone on the mobile, so will add this.

Later...back and have transferred the mobile savings out of my account into savings -:)

So I've now made silver!!!

Will add any more as and when. Need a new challenge to join now me thinks Will have to have a slightly lower target I feel though!

Everyone's doing so well. My spreadsheet tracking all my money is on my home computer so I can't remember where I currently am but it's about £836.

Last week wasn't a great week, about £14 I think. Got paid for a mystery shop I did for GFK NOP but missed out on an experiment due to work commitments :rolleyes:

This week is almost on target, my lots on ebay did well and got about £15 profit overall from them, then £10 for doing an experiment (did the 1st part last week) and £4 for another, then £1 interest on the account I keep my challenge money in. I'm always pleased when I make over £30.

I have 3 things on ebay atm, 1 with bids and the other 2 are things which are normally 'safe' they're finishing Sunday, also have 2 experiments planned for this week.

Have sent my phone to envirofone and OH has given me on to sell too, so am waiting to hear from them about that. Hope I get the money for the challenge - might be a bit tight.

Like Sea78 I'm trying hard to find any little bits and pieces to make it to £1007. My plan for the next 2 weeks is:

• Go round all the sites I do and see if I can cash anything in
• Continue to do experiments (have 3 lined up for the next 3 weeks so far)
• Send 2nd phone to envirophone and hope cheques arrive in time for the end of the challenge
• Decide whether to do a boot sale and if so do it! (partly weather dependent)
• Ebay (I'm sure I've got some more things I could sell - have been branching out since starting this challenge!)
• List some of the books etc I have on Amazon on Small ads at work and see if I can get any sales that way as Amazon is slow and some money (and the space would be good)

I also have Mystery shopping money owed from TNS at the end of the month (probably around £30) and have my piggybank of money found which needs emptying at the end of the challenge.

Here's hoping for a good last few weeks everyone - sorry this is a long post but it really helps to focus things for me if I do a list on here and then come back and see what I've achieved.

Well done Sea78 that's great :jump: :jump:

I need a new challenge too, signed up for a mystery shop that I won't get the money for until the end of July and thought I'll need a new challenge as an encouragement when this one finishes.

Thanks
I definitely have got so much from this challenge, it's quite unbelievable! I know I would have wasted the money/not even got it if it hadn't been for this challenge. I love it! Need to sign up for another one though as am not good on my own and I have a target for the next one too.

I agree, definitely need another challenge. I need a target to motivate me.
I have just added another £55.19 to my total from this weeks activities mainly from cashback sites and some supermarket vouchers I have received following a complaint I made.

I sold a CD on Amazon yesterday, got £14.98 for it, really pleased about that. I've added up my totals - between surveys, cashback, clicks, not taking taxis, Amazon selling, freebies and storecards my totals gone up to over £300. Nowhere near bronze, even, but there are three big areas I haven't even started yet - matched betting, cyberslotz and free-stake online bingo, and cashback on greasypalm for a small payout (like these magazine deals where you get 3 issues for £1 and £xxx cashback). Still determined to keep on challenging.
