The 2008 Olympic Challenge thread

finallydebtfree!!

I cant believe the challenge is over, not that I have been really into it this time! but have managed to keep track of what I have done which is great!!

most of the money this time has been spent on all the stuff I needed to complete my charity trek which was what took me away from the challenge!

hopefully there will be another and I can dedicate myself to it! although I havent done well in the challenge I did manage to raise over £1170 for charity over the last 12 months!

Well done to everyone that reached their target and also well done to all those that didnt, what ever you made you wouldnt have had to start with

It can't be over already surely?! Oh well, I'm really chuffed that I made my target. At last count (about 3 months ago) I was at roughly 3.5k, but I've had at least another 1,000 on top of that so while I'm disappointed that I haven't been able to keep track of the exact score I know that I'm well over the platinum.

Thanks Gemmzie for running it, MickeyMouse for being my challenge buddy (and new non-challenge buddy too!) and everyone else for posting great ideas as we went along. Wish I could have had more time towards the end but that's what kids do to you. Well done everyone!

Sorry for not updating guys, if you PM me your total I'll see how we've all done overall as I can't PM through the list due to the new PM rules!

Hi Gemmzie

Have pm'd you my total, thanx so much for keeping me focussed and giving me a goal to work towards.

mickey mouse I'm sorry I missed your post before, haven't been online for quite some time, stressfull time at work and studying at the mo. I'm sure that giving up smoking for 5 months has definately increased my totals and working myself stupid (not out of choice lol, I work in the NHS) has also contributed. Well done and keep it going.

Cheers
Casper
