  • oooh so close for me to make £300 now, dad rounded up the money he owed me for doing his christmas shopping (on my cashback credit card ;)) so an extra £2 to add. now to make 27p :rolleyes:

    I will be pleased with the £300 as I havent put much effort in this time due to my holiday and fundraising and other things going on in the family! and as we always say, its money we would have never had before!!! :)
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!

    Just had an idea for the buddy system on the next challenge. How about everyone that would like to take part mentions a few things they have successfully done to make money and a few things they would like to try on the next challenge.
    For example I've done ok out of selling books, and selling on ebay and matched betting, but would like to try mystery shopping.
    We could then choose buddys who can help with the things we would like to try, and hopefully help them with the things we already feel confident about.

    Love it! So a matched better could team up with a mystery shopper and teach each other? :)

  • 88p to add, more shopping done this time for SIL who also rounded up payment for shopping as I anly had £8 in change instead of the £9 I owed her so she said keep the £1 (it was actually 88p) so another 88p to add!

    That brings my total to £300.61!!! yay! :j

    Um, I don't know at the moment to be honest, someone else has started a really similar challenge with our totals of gold, silver etc. So I was planning to but now I'm not sure.
