    Hi, can you count me in too please? It will have to be bronze though, because I'm on mat leave and can't work, do overtime, ms etc except the 10 days they allow you to do!
    thanks

    Ok, I've thought about this and I'm in. I know I didn't last long in the first challenge but when I found matched betting I lost track. I was doing great but for the last couple of months I've been terrible at making money. As my credit card is paid off I don't have a decreasing balance to spur me on. However, I do want to get a new kitchen so need to start saving for that.

    I will go for Bronze again. Ebay and Amazon here I come!

    Hey Gang, having completed the challenge on a golden note, I would like to put my name down for the next chapter :)

    Tip wise, I would recommend focus groups for Londoners and going through quidco or topcashback for anything and everything!

    p.s I shall be using the money from the last challenge (£3112.82) to get myself on the road (driving lessons + a car + insurance).

    Hi, I am in for the new challenge it sounds excellent!:D

    I am going to aim for Bronze as I narrowly missed it by £200 in the first challenge. I am not signing up for christmas spending totally , as I got alot of christmas presents in the January sales, so my challenge money will be mainly for paying off debts, although some will go towards christmas spending too.:T
