    Just been catching up with this thread - well done to:

    tumbleweed261
    Kiwigirl
    scuba147
    christmasshopper

    you've all done brilliantly - especially as we've got a couple of weeks to go.

    £16.80 for me to add this week - 1 amazon and 3 ebay sales and 2 experiments.

    I need another £150 to make Bronze - It's going to be a challenge but that is what this is all about after all!

    Re the next challenge - I think a 5 month 'count down to Christmas' challenge is great and I like the comps/vouchers bit too. I've not included vouchers in this challenge as I've used them for treats rather than essentials and only get them where money isn't an option but it would be great to keep track of them too.

    Hope everyone has a good last couple of weeks :money:

    Thank you Scuba. Well done to you too. :T
    I am still going to carry on until the final day. There is no chance of me reaching Silver but I am going to have a final push and see how much I can get. I am very pleased to have reached Bronze because a couple of weeks ago I didn't think I'd make it.
    :j

    So, to all you folks who haven't reached your targets yet, keep going. You might have a lucky week like I did this week. :beer:
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D

    after posting I'd only got £16.80 to add this week, my mum sent me £20 to 'treat myself' as I've had a really bad week work wise but it's gone in the challenge so it doesn't get frittered away!

    Also check from envirofone turned up today for 1st phone - £4.93 but every little helps.

    So week's total was £41.73 and now less than £130 to go.
