    Morning All,

    Long time no type!
    Have to admit, feeling a bit guilty as have not been updating Gemmzie nor posting as much as I should have... however, I can confirm that I've added £55.00 to the total £301.93, £50 from TopCashBack and £5 from... well, I dunno, it just sprung up in my account...:confused:

    I'm sure I've done better than this, but I'm going to use the chaso of moving house as my excuse for letting it slip, so I would totally be up for a challenge from Jan - Aug.... I am going away to NY in April though, so the first half of the challenge money may be spent as soon as it's earnt! :o :rolleyes: :D
    OH OD - £100.00/£100.00 Joint OD - £100.00/£100.00StepChange: £10,057.67

    It's definitely about the journey more than the target at the end :)

    I always seem to post on mse at work atm and my olympic challenge spreadsheet is at home so I've been hopeless at keeping this updated - will try very hard tonight :o

    With regards to the next challenge I'm happy to carry on as before but I think the idea of people saying how they made their money with a breakdown of how much they got from each is great. Some people did this at the end of the last one and it inspired me to make an albeit very slow start with lightspeed and quidco - things I'd not really used before and I'm sure there are other things I could be doing that I'm not which would help next time.

    I agree about listing at the end how we did what we did. And I'm in for another one.... in that spirit, just transferred £17.82 to my Olympic account, £2.82 from selling a book bought on Amazon (I bought the thing in 1978, I can't *tell* you how many times I've moved house since then!) and £15 from a mystery shop - those have dried up at the mo, bit concerned.

  • My last wee push

    £10.10 from opinion bar
    £4.34 from Topcashback
    £12.43 from ebay

    Takes my total up by a further £26.87!

    Got more on the way but won't be here in time for total count.

    Is it today we finish?
    Summer Sizzler Challenge 2009 bronze level = £387.25 (23/06/2009)
  • I thought we were due to finish today, but apparently its not until a bit later on (the date escapes me right now! its been a long day!)
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!
  • I thought we'd finished too :o Better update my sig and Gemmzie then!
