    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Lilmissup ... I'm not sure how to track stuff in the challenge, I did ask on there yesterday but dont think its got a reply yet :o I dont get whether you count money that you actually receive in January or count money that you earn in January eg. clicks ?? :confused: Think I'm gonna go for earned money but need to be sure I'm doing it right!! :D

    Hypno ... HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU TOO !!! :beer: and Happy New Year to everyone else on here, may we all be blessed with health, happiness and a few extra pennies ;):D

    BenBen i count it as i earn it not when its paid but its entirely up to you.

    I have tracked £55 on Quidco this month so that all goes towards Dec's challenge for me!

    I think everyone has a different way of doing the challenge, some people include things like buy 1 get 1 free savings but i don't, i just count money i have earned/found or won (mainly bingo) towards it.

    Its up to you though, theres no strict rules :)

    thankyou lilmiss .... yeh, I thought it was a bit strange to include things that you've bought but were reduced, unless you save the difference. I think I'll just include whatever I earn/find etc. Haven't a clue how I'm going to find £10 a day but I'll give it a go :D

    Spud ... ooh the possibilities, we could have a big dfw wardrobe and all share!! Not sure anyone would want half of my stuff though :rotfl:

    You've done really well with it in December, if I could make that much in January I'd be well happy :D

    I need to update it, got about another £30 or so to add and gonna do a slice the pie run today too i think in preparation for my new challenge that starts tomorrow! I use about 5/6 cashback sites and just do as many daily clicks and magazine offers etc as i can which is where most of it comes from although i was lucky enough to win £120 on bingo this month which also helped!

    I hope to hit the target in January, i don't do mystery shops, need to get into that really, that would help!
