    Another challenge like this is a great idea. Because of this challenge I've kept a record of where my money's come from and put it in a special account .....

    Thats exactly the benefit it brought to me. Even tho I haven't done the big things, to think that even from what I've done I've had over £300 available to me that I otherwise wouldn't have had - thats fantastic. I haven't kept it in a separate place, but I'm counting it all in. I'll definitely join in the next challenge.

    Hi Guys
    I'm so glad to see this thread still going and still working for people. How many have reached taregts now??
    Please count me in for the July-Dec challenge, I can cut and paste all the tips from the first post for whoever starts the next.
    Has anyone decided to be the first poster? What are you going to call it?
    I'm looking forward to it already.:j
    Keep going everyone

    we could be really original and call it olympic challenge mark 2

    then we can still incorporate the 3 level system into it also people have heard of the olympic challenge so therefore it will advertise itself too and hopefully attract more challengers each hopefully bringing new ideas

    what do you guys think

    I will join in again for sure - just taking June off for a breather!
    The name of the post could include the challenge period? Ie: Olympic Challenge July - December 07'? Or 'The 6 Month Olympic Challenge'? Makes it really clear then for any newbies...

    count me in for the next challenge as well. The next challenge will be hard as it will be 5 months but still great fun. How about calling it the "countdown to Christmas Challenge"

    After being internetless for about a week I am finally back online. Pleased to see everyone doing really well.

    I put a few things on ebay yesterday so they will finish next Sunday.

  • I have £22 from Yougov surveys but I can't withdraw it until I have £50. There is no way I will have £50 by the end of the challenge. Do I count it or not? :confused:
    I'm getting desperate now. The challenge is almost finished and I still have a long way to go.
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D
