    I haven't done a newsletter in a while I'm afraid, I've got too much on, will try and fit one in before the end

    Thanks, Gemmzie. I'd certainly like to do another one - but I appreciate that for the person focussing it, its a lot of time, and I don't feel able to do it myself. What it *has* taught me is to write down everything that I get/don't spend because of mse ways - that means I can keep on seeing the difference I'm making to my finances by being on here, and thats a big morale boost, as well as the support from individuals on the site.

    Another one would be fantastic we've a few big events in our family next year - weddings, babies etc - so getting another Olympic would help me fund these.

  • I'd definately do another one...... I think I tried to do too many challenges this time and got all confused, but this one I would definately do again!

    Made £30 this week. £20 was from tutoring but £10 was an unexpected reclaim of road tax stamps my mum sent sent away she found them in with my car insurance docs and lady at post office told her that the money could be clamed back as they're no longer accepted.

    Also got letter form tax office stating they think I've paid too mcuh tax and to send them my documents so might get a little something from them too soon.
