    I have to admit I stopped keeping my spreadsheet up t date when I hit the Bronze target a few weeks ago. I'm really looking forward to the next challenge. I need to make some money to pay myself back for my car. I paid for it using money I'd transferred from interest free balance transfers off credit cards. Obviously at some point I'm going to have to repay the credit cards. I'm still doing a some surveys and selling stuff on Amazon and ebay.

    I'll keep it a secret for now ;)

    I thought a starting date of the 14th? - then it gives those saving for Xmas time to spend the money if they decide to keep it hidden away until the end :)

  • 14th would be great and that would give the rest of us here time to finish this challenge! was disappointed that as a latecomer to the money for nothing challenge I was unable to finish that before starting this one, but having said that I found this one a lot better!

    think I should be able to clear £450 on this challenge, would love to hit £500 but dont think I will be able to do it, have a busy time at work for these next 2 weeks so wont be able to put much effort into a final push :( never in a million years would i have thought I would get this far!

    have to work late on friday so the thought of the new challenge information awaiting my return will get me through the manic 2 hours of preparing for the start of the summer sales!

    Looking forward to the details of the new challenge - I think 14th July - 14th December is great.

    4 lots on ebay, 1 pretty safe bet, others are ventures into the unknown but running out of 'safe bets' and if I don't try I won't succeed - hope that'll be a few more pounds too. These will be the last ebay lots for this challenge probably. :eek:

    So 1 psychology experiment this week booked so far £2

    TNS money due at the end of the week c £30

    Then I've listed quite a few books and some other items on small ads at work so hopefully will have some takers once people check it when they come into work tomorrow/at lunch time. Fingers crossed for that.

    Also amazon sales - about 70 items on there and another 15 or so just on GM so hoping for a sale or two this week.

    Can't believe how desperate I am to get to £1007 now :o

    Have a good week everyone
