    I am so chuffed as I have smashed through the silver challenge and will have made gold by the end of August with overtime. Trouble is.. I spend so much time working and trying to make extra money I have hardly been back on this site. Good luck to everyone else though xx
    Second and final LBM 01/01/11 Nearly got there but fell of wagon. HAVE to do it this time :mad:

    I have a way for a wee while but in for a quick updat. Made £21 from Home of Research, £20 from Money Back Madness, £20 from My Shopping Rewards, £100 on a scratchcard, and £5 from my piggy bank.
    I am full of joy, abundance, wealth and love.
    I am a money magnet. Money comes easily and frequently.

    Hi Everyone! Olympic challenger #88 here! Just done my final calculations and I am thrilled that over the last few months, with selling items, doing mystery shopping and quidco and by doing extra work, I have raised £1,760! So more than the bronze I aimed for, but not quite silver - Is there a metal in between I could claim as my medal?!

    Well done to everyone who's taken part in this and thanks to OP for the idea!

    Let the Games of the 29th Olympiad begin!
    Official DFW Nerd Club #20 :cool: Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts :D DFW Long Hauler #109 :o

    Slowly, Slowly = Oct '09: £30693, Aug '15: £14820. Could Be Debt Free April 2020, but hoping for sooner!
