    Otherwise a slow week - £1.44 interest on the account I keep my wages in (getting them weekly at the moment), £2 for a psychology experiment and £3.31 on an amazon sale.

    Just being nosy Yorkielass but how did you get into doing Psychology experiments, sounds interesting!

    Great newsletter Gemmzie, wouldn't know how to start to do something like that! :j

    Everyone seems to be doing well, thanks Gemmzie for the hard work with the newsletter.

    I was looking through my bank cashbooks this morning, and thought the receipt I had on one that I never use was the cheque that I put in 3 years ago... a bit puzzled to find out that I had put in a large cheque but had no passbook for it. Mum's always made my brother and I have lots of accounts for the goodies when we were kids so have a few accounts dotted around which were upgraded when I turned 18.

    So went into town and to that BS and found out that I had accrued interest of £400 on that account and the cash in it too, which I honestly can't remember opening, :j as other people are putting their interest into the challenge so will I - so that was a nice surprise.

    My total this week was only £5.00:o

    Means I'm on £18.98 so far. I've got a couple of things due to finish on ebay tomorrow so hopefully it'll be a bit better next week.
