well you all knew Id be up for it!!!! count me in for bronze again! will probably not make it but at least it keeps track of what I do make as that little extra!!
would still be doing all these things to make extra money as after 6 months the challenge ways become habit (Im sure other challengers would agree with me there!)
I will be away for 18 days in september so will have to try a bit harder, although I will actually be spending my money earned in this challenge as spending money when I go on an 18 day tour of China! obviously as mse as possible but not quite that strict as I plan to have a really good time.
what with the last olympic challenge and the previous money for nothing challenge I now have nearly £500 that I would never have had, so if thats not an incentive for people to join I dont know what is! (obviously if you put in time and effort alot more is achievable)
finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!0 -
i'd like to join in as well please. Going to go for silver :eek: fingers crossed i can get there.
Ebay here i come (watch out mum i'm coming to raid your house!!)
Good luck everyone

Hi. Can I join, please?
Like Sea, I'm doing the £1000 in 2 months challenge (don't worry Sea, you're doing better than me).
I need something to keep me going after that, and I've little bits of money in survey/cashback sites which will come through later.
Can you put me down for bronze for now and hopefully I'll upgrade later.
Thanks for this Gemmzie.

Can I join up for bronze? Not sure how much saving/making money power I've got, but £1000 is a nice total to aim for. Shame that my bootsale is this week and not after the 14th. Haven't ebayed any of my stuff for a long time...may be time for a clearout!!Dooyoo £10.40/40, TopCashBack £17.19/30, Valued Opinions 50p/£10, Swagbucks 0/£20, Ebay £15/£250

Can I join up for bronze? I'm a student, so I dont know how much I'll actually do in the end, but I can have a good go!
I'm away for the first week, but I'll be in there after that

Howdy there - read the other challenge and am very excited to be able to ask to join this one - Gemmzie looks like your going to have alot of work on your hands. Am currently doing £1000 in 2 months which is going okay - although as people say seems to get harder as time goes on, however.....
...deep breath....
put me down for GOLD!! aargh!! Really need motivating as my boyf will confirm I get really into things to start then need motivation to keep going!
Challenges will be overlapping which I gues is fine, shall give me extra motivation again!!
Judging by what is being said, agree with only including Quidco when paid, however may take a cheeky headstart with my current items as they seem to take a while to clear!
Thanks for starting it and good luck to all!DFW Nerd #1310 -

Hi guys
Definitely want to be in on this challenge too. I don't think I have much left to ebay after the first challenge, but we are still (!!!!!very frustrated!!!!!) trying to move house. In the next month we are planning a giant clear-out with stuff going to the auction, but will then be mainly reliant on mystery shopping, which is a bit thin up in north east scotland, and Amazon to pull it along. Thinking Bronze would be a safer option, but who wants safe! Put me down for silver! :-)First Direct Loan @ 7.9% £13,076.03/£20,250
Mint CC @ 18.9% £3030.29/£3100 Virgin CC @ 34.9% £651.46/£2700 Tesco CC @ 0% 1366/1500
