    That would be great ruthiejane, thanks for the offer.

    I was thinking of doing a monthly PM update as opposed to a weekly one? Since it's running for eight months instead of six?

    I think monthly would be a good idea. I know I get behind when it's every week! But if people prefer weekly then maybe both would be possible?

    Do we want a newsletter for the next challenge? I'm getting excited about it already - things that won't payout for the end of this one should for the next challenge!

When do you guys add your quidco totals - when they are validated or when the money is in your accouny?

    I had to do my first refund on Amazon this week - partly my mistake partly Amazon's listing being incorrect (put I should have spotted this when I listed it) so £3.40 down on my Olympic challenge as that's what I've made and 2.30 down for the posting too (but that can come out of general funds)
    I told the guy not to send the book back as I’d be even more out of pocket – oh well can’t win them all.

    Anyway £50 'goodwill gesture' came through from John Lewis and TNS mystery shopping money for November has come through too so that's good - another £20 something there.

    Will update it all properly when I get home and see where I'm at now and need to do a sweep of other accounts and get out any money I've got stashed away in places.

    Might have a go on ebay later too.
