    ATB has dragged me kicking and screaming into this challenge, and I dare not resist!

    I did the olympic challenge earlier this year, making over £3000, so have to go for gold on this one too. The money will be going directly off my Egg card as and when it is received, so a great incentive for me.

    Good luck you guys!

    Hmmm.. I am very tempted to join you and go for the £500. I need to try and save about £400 for November when the lease on my current flat runs out and I need a deposit for a new place - never get the old one back in time do you? :rolleyes: (it'd mean spending my savings before the challenge finishes though!)... another £100 on top of that would sort out Christmas for me as I don't tend to buy loads. Not much left to eBay here but I am looking for a second job and could do the change jar thing...plus any online stuff like Quidco - any tips on that would be very welcome!

    I'm new, but going to shove my way in to join this challenge, too!!! I don't need very much money for Christmas as I don't have a family to feed or anything! So I'll go for the £500. :)

    Thanks for the challenge. :)

    Hi everyone. Count me in!!

    Dezzie, you ickle challenge queen, I need a judgement call from you.

    I got £100 pounds Quidco on my car insurance last night. Shall i add it to the first challenge (which I failed by just over £100) or shall I add it to this one?

    Thanks for that, have found it and will run through them later. I recently discovered this similar site - http://www.mrmoneyback.com - which someone had mentioned on the forums somewhere... not looked too closely to see how it compares with Quidco but there seems to be quite a few free offers on there for 10-50p, if you can be bothered with lots of clicking and signing up for quiz sites etc.

    Anyway, yep, I'm in!

    Hiya,

    I am always watching this challenges but figure i'll take part in this one. I am definitely up for making some extra money, especially as i need to pay for my holiday to Turkey in October.

    I will go for gold. I'll probably do the usual things, amazon, ebay, matched betting, daily clicks, survey sites and mystery shopping. Looks like were all going to be kept busy.

    Don't think I'm going to count myself in for this one because I didn't do very well on the last one haha!
    I will be watching intently though, can't help but look for those good moneymaking tips!

    Now if there was a challenge for saving I would be in there!.....
