  • Wow, nykmedia! Managing to have £1.50 left from the initial £4000 after the year you've had is nothing short of a miracle:A . I'm sure if there are any back-sliders among us when the harsh reality of what we've taken on begins to hurt you'll be able to inspire us to keep at it.

    Only one more sleep until the challenge really starts:j . Can't remember when I've looked forward so much to a new year starting for yonks:rotfl:

    Enjoy the festivities everyone:beer: .

    A happy, healthy and successful 2008 to all challengees

    The £1500 is what I could live on if not including rent, hobbies, debt payments etc At present I never have any money left at the end of the month so am living on £5k ish so this is going to be a challenge.
    My aim is £1500-3000 :)
  • Ooooh! I'm number 99! I hope I'm up to the challenge.Good luck to everyone and Happy New Year!

    HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!!!
    The challenge has started, GOOD LUCK

    Nyk, I gave up smoking about 8 years ago, and whenever I wanted a ciggy, I sucked a glucose sweet - I read about then that a craving for a cigarette was linked to a drop in the sugar levels in the blood. I dont know how true this is but it worked for me (and cheaper than all the other give up smoking stuff) - Good Luck with it!!
    Night night all - lilo
