I'm still plodding along here - very much doubt I'll make the target now but won't be far off. No Amazon sales this week again or any sales through work
but got paid for some mystery shopping from TNS yesterday so another £35.98 to add.
Then 3.32 I found in some old savings accounts I thought I'd emptied when we bought the house (think it's an extra interest payment) and 3.66 interest from the account I put my wages in until the end of the month as I currently get paid weekly.
So current total is £921.58 - I broke the £900 mark :j
Cheque from envirofone for £9.75 on its way apparently, waiting for an ebay payment and got 3 more things on atm all with bidders. Think I'll probably get to £950 which would be brilliant but would love to get to £1007 - will put my thinking cap on!
Hope everyone still going has a great final week :money:Initial Mortgage January 2024 - £160,000

Mortgage as of 1st February 2024 - £159,134.98

Does not look like I am going to reach my bronze target. Oh well, I would never have made nearly £800 without this challenge!:beer:0

I dont think Ill make it to £500, would have been nice to though!
just keeping my fingers crossed that my consumer pulse voucher and the £15 worth of vouchers earned through my credit card will arrive by next saturday!
I was hoping for a last carboot sale before the end of the challenge but with the weather being as it is not sure I will! oh well will be a start to the next challenge I suppose :rolleyes:finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!0 -
In adding my name to the next Olympic Challenge, I said that I'd be counting my change jar next time - I only started keeping it in February. Then I realised that I could still add it in to this one. I put all coppers and 5ps in there, and as much other stuff as I can. A few months ago, I converted £77 to notes/pound coins at the bank, and at the mo I have another £42 to go through the same process. So that ups my total to... ummm.... £432.32!!! Plus there's a few bits I'll put into the last total. So I'm off to update my sig!2023: the year I get to buy a car0

A quick update from me as we reach the final few days:
£7.86 profit from 3 ebay items - 1 more waiting payment for.
£2.00 from psychology experiment today
£10.72 in my rpoints account which I've withdrawn (emptied it of everything earnt up until Christmas earlier this year - normally get amazon vouchers but this time went for cash to put in challenge!)
So current total is:
£942.16
Getting closer (+ hopefully £9.75 from envirofone, £2 from another experiment, a couple of pounds from last ebay thing and money in 'money I've found pot!')
Have £960 in mind atm
