    Wow you are all doing so well :T

    Can we claim overtime ??

    I had a debt repaid to me that I had forgotten about so £70 for me :j:j

    As in OT at work? I wouldn't claim it myself as you gave up your hard earned spare time in exchange. But this challenge is all about what you consider an extra, a freebie you wouldn't normally have. So your call.
