    Morning all, very happy here as I logged on to my online account to find my annual interest has been deposited. Woo Hoo, that was just enough to tip me over my bronze target. I very much doubt that I will have anything to add until the official end but I will keep going just in case. My total as I sit here right now is £1042.17..............Yay!!

    Well I really messed up - have taken just over £4000 made from the last two challenges and paid them off the mortgage. Unfortunately, I didn't keep a track of monies coming in from that point and have only just realised that the challenge is still on - oops! So sorry, I have no idea what my latest figure is, although I do know that the money seems to be rolling in this week.

    Have joined another challenge for the summer holidays but if there is another one of these challenges (guess it will have to change name? Olympic Challenge 2012?!) I shall be joining and this time, I shall stay awake the whole way through (sort of).

    Well done everybody. It's great to have been part of this community :j
