Having a good week this week, made over £100 on the Virgin Offer, won't count it until it's in my bank account though. Also £50 cashback for same offer, fingers crossed!!! :jThis is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

mickey mouse - hi, all you need to do for text and smilies and whatnot is press the "go advanced" button, not the "post quick reply button" -you get all the choices of a Word programme there.
thanks for the suggestion but I have tried that and it doesn't work.£2 savers club 2025 #40 -
oo more stuff being bid on ebay which ends tomorrow! Am hoping to get my total debt amount below the 30,000 mark by pay day (in addition to what I already paid this month) & think I'll do it which is a major psychological milestone for me! Also had a complaint with virgin one account & they have ack they made an error & wil send me a voucher as an apology...will see!! Also still waiting for envirophone money so should have a fairly good total this week; PLUS am on call all weekend so that will boost it! Cant help re the techie stuff I'm afraid - have NO idea - you could try the techie board!Nerd no 109 Long haulers supporters DFW #1! Even in the darkest moments, love and hope are always possible.0

rachelja, good grief, thats fantastic! Well done you! I've had another sale on Amazon this morning, more than the 1p jobs anyway lol, but there's a postal strike tonight, and it will be stuck somewhere forever now
mickey mouse, sorry I couldn't help on the techie stuff previously posted2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Well done on the amazon sale too, never got my head around selling on there. Was going to list on ebay tomorrow so glad you reminded me about the postal strike!!!
The maternity grant helps my total, but it was free money and money saved by being on here! Totals will slow down in 6/7 weeks when ds due so have to get ahead early lol.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
Finally got off the starting blocks - have listed 10 things on ebay!Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

It's my birthday today and my bro and his gf gave me £60 which I was going to add bank for this challenge can I count it as I technically didn't earn it???LBM 03/07 £44k:eek: DFD 31/12/17 :A 12/17 £2545.50
Credit Card £2500.00 & Next £45.00
Savings = £81.21 & Help To Buy ISA = £4700.000 -
Happy Birthday Hope78
well yes you technically didnt earn it but it is extra money that you wouldnt normally have had so I would say its ok to add it to the challenge but not sure if everybody else agrees
I have a question tooI have had a tax refund today and was wondering if I can add that to my total. It was completely out of the blue and will be put straight into savings so it would be nice to add it to my Olympic Challenge total so that I can keep a track of all 'extra' monies.
Im off on holiday on Friday so wont be doing anything for the challenge so will have to make up for it when I get back
Good luck with the challenge everybody
ps I have a cheque on its way to me from envirofone for £14.33 but wont add it till it hits by bank account:cool: Official DFW Nerd Club Member #37 Debt free Feb 07 :cool:0 -
