  • 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!!

  • 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!!

    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 :) x

    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!

    Fishface - if your ebaying you could list items on the 4th of July for 10 days as they will then end on the 14th and clear after the start time.

    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! :-)
