good to see you again jet!! hope you had a great christmas and good luck with the challenge!

Thanks fdf .... it's great to be back ... had a lovely xmas thanks hope u did to and all the best for 2008 and this challenge too I feel completely out of practice lol ... was really on the ball for the £1024 in 11 week challenge but am now feeling a bit lost :rolleyes: ... hopefully it will all come flooding back (and the pennies come flooding in :T ) soon.

Have just been reading through the pages I've missed since having been lost in OS forum for the last few days ... as well as overhauling finances :T (or lack of them at the mo :rotfl: ) and noticed some people are already starting. Can I start too please :j As I've been sorting all the paperwork out ready to get going I've claimed £35 mortgage late fee, £18.52 car ins rebate and £9.09 from an old account I forgot I had ... would anyone object to me adding these to my total coz I wouldn't have got motivated or my backside back in to gear without this challenge.

I've also been looking at the cash back article and am intending to make full use of the cash back sites .. £40 from taking out BG boiler cover today and am going to get £160 (2 x £80) from taking out 2 different types of insurance from legal and general later/2moro .. all on quidco incase anyone's interested :T .... however I'm only a member with quidco and rpoints so was wondering if anyone wanted to claim a free fiver (or whatever the relevant offer is) that they could count towards there total by letting me use there name as a referrer when I open accounts with the other cashback sites. Please PM me if you want me to and I will do it on a first come first served type basis.

Hope everyone's having a good weekend :beer: xx

The rules were for the 8th so everyone could start together because if people listed last Saturday then they probably won't have the profit funds until Tuesday unless it was collect in person.

ive listed some items that will be finishing next week, hoping they will get me off to a good start with the challenge.
