    Update time from me.

    Apologies for not updating sooner but I have been moving house and lost internet connection for a while and its taken me a bit to keep a track of what extras I have received to add on, i have also been working extra at work and have received one payment but another should be through on thursday which will put me over the bronze level.

    Bits for me to add onto signature are
    ebay sales £77.56
    quidco £133.78
    greasypalm £27.52
    overtime £348

    New total £999.30

    Well I shall say Hi too... although no idea whether I can report anything (well I know I can't!) The combination of 2 break ins and a little tied up MB money means I have totally lost track / motivation etc etc... must admit feeling a little better by others not posting much either!!!!

    Am going to get myself sorted this week and have a big push for the end zone GL GL and hope others can do the same! :)

    OMG welshgirl, sounds like you've had a rough time :( Sorry to hear it.

    I'm still ebaying...off to the post office tomorrow with 9 parcels so just hope you aren't behind me in the queue!lol

    Oh well, another £23 to add in :)
  • sorry to hear of your bad luck welshgirl! :grouphug: (heres one of those dodgy hugs for you!)

    nothing to update here either! I do have enough for a £10 voucher from pigsback and £50 worth from consumerpulse but not sure what to order from there yet so will hold off withdrawing them until I know what vouchers I need!

    does anybody know whether there is an expiry date on consumerpulse points?
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!

    sold a few more things that seem to have been knocking round my ebay listings for an age!!! This challenge is definitely helping me declutter!! Now I just have to motivate my lazy butt to list more!! I've at least past my bronze target, but going to see just how much I can get by the end of the challenge! 8 more days to go isn't it?
