    it is mad but how random is that ............. I had it all planned with my herbs and putting the sink on house bricks and then just a passing comment by someone made us think about whether it was worth something.

    I am so pleased - I have a few things I would like to clear so I will be around for the next challenge too and look forward to it

    OMG dezzi- that is superb girl :j :T :j :T

    I think we need a bit of a countup again, I seem to have lost track :D Money flying about everywhere here ( in a good way!)

    Last night another 160 quid cheques were written to the barclaycard. :T

    Me & the OH were up till late last night, utterly shattered today, packing ebay parcels and getting OHs quidco done.

    Will we scrape the grand barrier? I really hope so :) it would be finished now if only OH would accept the money from my 2nd job!

    Oh well, keep on trucking, Ive a couple more free bets to do today....

    Is there anyone left who hasnt hit target- Dr hook? Dee I know is still with us, and jo, you still around?
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    I've definately only got half way and have no way of getting any more now. Can't do ebay this week cos I'm off on hols on Monday and won't be able to deal with queries, posting stuff off etc. So just have to be happy with what I've got. Although I think if I scrolled right to the beginning of this thread I think I only orignally wanted to do £300 anyway? I'm gonna go look! If that's the case then I've smashed it :D

    Definately definately up for a crimbo challenge, Carla I think you must be our host again as you are an inspiration! So get the thread started and get people on board, I'm ready to start from 22nd as I said but you can start as soon as you want I'll just have to catch you all up lol!

    AQA sent my start up stuff yesterday so hopefully that will be all set up and ready to go by the weekend and I'll officially start on 22nd when I'm back from hols. I think I'll add this money on to the crimbo challenge if you all don't mind cos then that will give me a kick up the backside to do it lol!! Plus I will start MB'ing from scratch then too cos I'm going to have to take all my profits out of the bookies to take on holiday cos I'm officially skint after my car being sick!

    Really enjoyed the challenge and really looking forward to the new one :D

    Ok, I'm in too. Although I doubt very much I'll even be able to make £300 but if I do I'll be ecstatic!

    I think that maybe everyone should have a goal amount rather than £1,000 cos to me that's a fortune, don't know about the rest of you!

    So I'm aiming for £300 (if you all don't mind) and anything else will be amazing!!

    Thanks for posting this!

    Jo.x

    Look see I told ya!! I smashed it :D

    Ooh! Just realised I haven't counted the overtime I'm doing this week yet which'll be around 90 quid after tax! So I need to find another £127.98 - it's so close I can almost taste it!!!
