  • Have just signed up for the goldfish card, hopefully everything will go through ok and I can add the £41 to my challenge pot :)

    EDIT: actually it will be £36 as I think I need to pay another years membership with quidco
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!

    I've had to pay my Quidco subs this month too, it's amazing to think I've been doing this for a year now

    Is anyone else really excited??? :j he he ... lol :rotfl:

    I started a part time job tonight which I've taken on for the challenge .. and if succesful will keep on after it too.. went well tonight so I gotta good feeling :D Won't get paid til after it starts ..obviously so am counting every penny towards challenge :j

    I also took insurance out through quidco last week which should be £40 cash back .. but it isn't showing as being tracked in my account at mo which is making me panick a bit :confused:

    Am just about to send spreadsheet out to those who have requested it ... so it should be with you shortly. All constructive criticism welcomed :D

    Good luck everyone:beer:

    Morning, today I am going to list some stuff on ebay which hopefully will sell, and then I'll be up and running. I don't have any extra work until February which is a shame, so I am going to do some overtime on my main job to keep the totals up!
    Hopefully, I'll have something to report fairly soon!
    October make £10/day currently £11.02
  • I'm hoping this is a sign of things to come, because I'm off the starting blocks already..... right on cue this morning, my Dec Quidco money dropped into my acc..... £60.93 :D That'll be moved swiftly across into my new Olympic Challenge account :T ....plus I sold 3 things on Amazon yesterday, and when OH goes to work later I'll be doing the housework and looking for more things to sell.... I LOVE this challenge Gemmzie, thanks for running it again :A

    Sorry if I missed it in a previous post Gemmzie, but how often are we updating? Once a week? Once a month?
