well I plan to ebay like mad, am planning to do a car boot sale next Sunday and quidco as much as possible. My car insurance renewal is due and I have a good quote through quidco which also offers £100 cash back so intend to do that. Will update sig when I have done this. Good luck everyone.0

Omg, i'm getting married in aug, and need to find about £7k - we have some savings for this, but the more i can find between then and now the better. Spreadsheets can instill terror when doing this kind of thing!"I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something."0

cors u an join!!!
Hi Emily!!! How did yah do on yer last challenge?? I paid my credit card on ur last challenge!! Thats Why I was so happy and needed a new challenge! So thank u very much chica!!! What did yah do with the money u got in the end? Hope u spent it on urself for a change!!
U and Lynzpower are fantastic inpiration on here but im going to have work extremly hard to keep up with u2 top savers!!!
I dont really know weather to count those three magazine ones for a tenner because it only said for th buisness mag!!! I dunno Ill count one. I got paid £30 for 2 shifts tonight im going to put it in the jar woo hoo!! watching big bruv now love it my OH is lovin too now haha!!
I'm so glad that you managed to clear your card on that challenge. I'm still battling with mine after a little break. A fresh challenge is just what I need to get motivated again!!
I've listed a couple of bits on Ebay today and will list some more when my prizes turn up - I'm waiting for 13 in total!!!
I'm going to start up a change pot and put all my money in it and try not to carry much around with me so I'm not tempted to spend it!!
Also, now my foot is better, I'm going to get stuck into mystery shopping again.
Good luck everyone

Has anyone done the easycinema sign up on quidco? Looks like a straight forward £10 for sign up, but anyone had any experience of it?"I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something."0

Well howdy all, am motivated and ready to rock and roll!! Luckiy had some Mystery Shops booked for today so can update my signature... woo hoo!!
Towards the challenge I now have
Mystery Shopping: £41
AQA : £21.30
Quidco : £67.75 (tracked or validated)
Making a grand total of £130.05... which is rather exciting!! :T
Sorry I don't have any useful tips - have been eagerly reading others though and will try to answer MS queries etc although the thread for that is great too!!!

Hi folks, may I join in but go for the Bronze - £300 in two months challenge? I would aim higher, but I'm unemployed at the moment and my jobseekers pays little over £200 per month :eek:
Anyway, I have an interview today and hopefully if I'm given a job I'll be able to participate in the £1000 challenge
good luck everyone x

Welcome Joanne
Well theres plenty of money for nothing in the quidco posts I put up before. :beer: Hopefully this should get you somewhere near your 300 quid targetI see this challenge as "over and above earnings" OH works funny hours so theres no way he can take on any other work- so a blend of moneymaking schemes is the way forward for us.
Best of luck for the interview: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.

haha!! come on Thats why its called a challenge!!!!! So what if we dont make it at least we will have raised some money off our debts!! Even if its £500. Lets say go for bronze £300, Silver £500 and gold £1000 I really need some motivation. Im going to start a loose change jar. At the end of everyday I am going to empty my purse of notes and put them in the jar and see what ive got at the end of the 2 months. Also If i fancy getting a pizza or a dvd or a magazine or even go out for the night im going to try and say NO!!!!! and put the money in the jar. Might work sometimes!! Come on DO IT!!!
I too have just bought a mahoosive whiskey bottle on ebay, so as long as it doesn't get smashed, I intend to try n save this way toops southen scouser.... how dya know ive got a crackin @rse?!?
