    Morning all,

    Spendaholic Chick I've done a s/sheet ... same format I've used for past challenges. If anyone wants a copy please feel free to pm me your e-mail address and I'll forward it. As long as you don't mess with the Total column it will calculate everything for you .. if you want any modifications done just let me know and I will do them and resend.

    I've worked out that to achieve £2008 in 6 months it breaks down as nearly £78 a week .. I'm going to aim for £80 per week to be on the safe side ... fingers and toes crossed :D

    I've cut the top off a water bottle and labelled it up for all spare change to go in too ... seems the mse bug has bitten me on the bottom again and I've only been back online a week :rotfl:

    Hope everyone has a good day xx

    Hi, I hope it's not too late to join in this challenge.

    I would love to go for platinum. No, I'll change that, I am going for platinum!

    I have a question though can I include any overtime or extra work that I do, or is it just money that I raise from selling stuff or daily clicks?
    October make £10/day currently £11.02

    Avogirly - overtime and extra work are allowed providing it is for the purpose of the challenge.

    I have been paid for all my ebay sales and will add in the profit total tomorrow as it is the official start of the challenge tomorrow. Not masses but a good start.

    I have got my Goldfish card through today and the £41 has tracked on Quidco so hopefully will pay out in February. Still waiting for the Virgin one whch is £40 off your bills so I will just put the money into my Olympic Challenge savings account when they credit me. I also didnt realise that this month was cashback time for Capital One so that is a whopping £220 to start me off :j should be cleared by the end of this month so I will update my signature when it hits my account.

    Now then I need to start actually doing some work for this :D
