    Hi all

    Glad to see your all still beavering away, work has been a bit mental which has helped towards my total (50% goes towards the challenge), but has also meant that i haven't been around to post much.

    My ebay selling is still going but seling books on GreenMetropolis seems to have dried up completly - has anybody else found this?

    Hoping for dry weather this weekend as i want to do a car bootie - if anybody is off to the mad mile let me know.

    Keep up the hard work - the end is in sight :beer:

    Another £50 in to the challenge, currently at £1,930.07. Can't wait to see Quidco earnings this month and also get my next £10 Pigsback cheque, although I am not counting those in the challenge money. Also have almost £29 with FreeFivers now which I will get un July, prob after this challenge has ended. I could have had it in June but they gave me £1 to rollover to July...

    I think I'm next to bottom, keren - and I started at the official time!! Anyway, just sold my fourth thing on amazon - another book, that makes 3 books and 1 CD. Its pennies, but it all helps - when it gets credited to my current account, I push it over to an online account that was nearly dormant, and has a fair rate of interest, tho not the best. That way it doesn't get lost in the general stuff.

    Edited to say:
    I just got my first Amazon feedback! And it was good! Hurray!

    woo hoo its been ages since i last came on here, so i seemed to have missed all the fun and hypno getting to the gold milestone, so well done!!!!

    anyway not been here coz i've been beavering away at work due to staff shortages and as a result of the extra hours i've put in i've mananged to persuade my boss to pay me some overtime due to the savings i made (approx £12k) so he has given me 80 plus hours in overtime!!!!

    so i should be very close to the gold milestone, which is a major brucie bonus as i nevr thought i'd get bronze.

    As Jeffy would say "go for Gold!!!!"
