    I would like to join the new challenge too please.
    How long have we got left for this one to run? Is it about 2 or 3 weeks? I am getting close to the target. I hope I don't fail at the last hurdle. I have bought loads of things to sell at a small profit, I just need to sell some of them quickly.
    Wish me luck.
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D

    Hi everyone,

    What about two challenges? A raising cash one and then possibly a seperate Christmas one where the target is to get all your presents from vouchers or comps wins? Ie I have 9.10 in my piggy bank and 5 pounds from lightspeed?

    I was thinking about this today.

    We could have the regular challenge running and then a mini challenge.

    The mini challenge being for those saving for the holidays - how far can you stretch the amount you've made on gifts, food etc by being consumer savvy

    in true trumpet like entrance, da da da da da dahhhhhh!!!!

    at last i'm back in there!!!

    i like the suggestions of the new challenges and the challenge has definitely made me watch my cash and earn some extra!!!! so i'm game on for a new challenge!!

    anyway on a more important note, i manged to get a few hours overtime in, over the April and May and some mileage and this totalled £1062.62 after tax/NI etc and so this has taken me past the Spandau Ballet mark of GOLD!!!!!!!!!

    I originally aimed for bronze, but surpassed that by miles!!! yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

    cheers FDF, but admittedly i'm whacked now coz of the overtime, but it's impressed the bosses even more and looks like they're willing to give me more money on my salary for the extra responsibilities i've taken on as well!!!!!
