    Just added it up & its £122.31. House is less cuttered and most of it been sitting there for ages PLUS, like many, ebay stuff gets tedious when it doesent sell & you have to go through all the faff of packaging etc! House almost now clean and I am 100% knackered! This getting up at 6 lark is no good! Off to chill!
    Gemmzi my total for this week is £232.31. Didnt want to pm as you're offline & dont want to clog your inbox! Hope thats ok!

    Have just added up my total and I am now on £3180 thanks to freelance work. Off on holiday now for a couple of weeks so shall be taking a break from the challenge and once school starts back I won't be able to do as much so I have been making the best of it.

    Had an emergency crop up last week and thanks to the last olympic challenge I was able to throw money at it without worrying about dipping into my mortgage fund so I have to say the challenge totally serves a real purpose in my life and yet another reason I adore MSE :)

    My Tesco vouchers came through - on a shop of £50-£60 a month nowadays, I got £16 of vouchers, because of various voucher offers on here. They're definitely part of my Olympic Challenge, as I'd never have got that much without the site, plus I'm gong to use them for deals, not shopping - how do I count them? Do I count the face value or what they're worth on deals? Thats £16 or £64!!! Either way, I'm chuffed.
