  • A little update on this from me as I havent really done much on this in ages :o so I have had a cheque for £16.90 for a small amount of JSA I was owed when I re started work. As I wasnt expecting it I have decided to add it to my Olympic total. Also I have a bit of interest from my current account to add £6.67. So adding the £23.57 to my total I am now up to £504.67 :D I have sold a book on GM today but can not add that till I get up to £10 worth of sales and I am currently on £9 - so 1 more book to go and I can cash that.
    I have decided that the money that I raise is going to pay for Christmas as I have not saved any money this year.
    Hope eveybody else is doing better than me :rotfl:

  • Thanks for that fish - I've not really thought about Christmas yet! :eek: Must email my family and ask for suggestions! Now that I have paid off my debts I've got a reasonable stash of cash to buy present this year.

    Anyway I've £50 to add today, as my partner opened an Alliance and Leicester account some time ago. Plus £1 from Lightspeed.
