1 - i sometimes get a shift in my local chippy when they are short staffed - can i count this? If its being used for whatever your challenge money is being used for then I dont see why not??

2 - I am still waiting on payments from ebay from last week - can i count the payments when they arrive? guess so as the payment hasnt been recieved yet

3 - Can i count my other challenge totals to this one i.e Whiskey bottle challenge and £2 jar? not sure but probably yes

4 - I am due a menage payment at the start of sept - can i include that? not sure what that is sorry if that makes me sound dumb!

thats what I think anyway, others may think differently!

I have a few items with watchers on with a day to go so fingers crossed. Found 8p on the walk home a small start. Good Luck everyone.

Oops - spelling error on this page. double checked on ebay and it's still not showing anything

No it doesn't. A menage is when a group of people pay a set amount each month and at the end of each month someone gets all the money.

there are 12 of us from work pay £20 a month and we each get a turn of recieving £240. It's like a savings club with no interest but it keeps you saving as you can't just opt out of it as you have to pay until the year is up. Last year i got it in December so it paid my xmas shopping.

My turn this year is september that's why i was wondering if i could add it to the challenge. It will be going towards debt.

When searching you need to search descriptions as well as titles. Thats what I was doing wrong. Sorry about siggy spacing theres a problem and I havent worked out how to fix it yet.
