The 2008 Olympic Challenge thread

Karmacat

I posted about the buddies thing on here originally, but haven't had the time to come onto this thread much - but now the m.b is on its way, I'm freed up a little bet, and that was what I was originally wanting a buddy for - that did happen organically, however (thanks Angel). I feel like having a little blitz on quidco while I'm drinking my coffee.....

i'm saving up any £2 coins i get, i've just typed up an advert for babysitting, but no money in my account yet.

Ive made a start on this challenge, im up to £43.00 which i made from my ebay sales. ive listed a few more bits that will finish next week. I will also be adding the remainder of my weekly budget to the total tomorrow. Its given me a good insentive not to spend through the week.

Had another few credits into the bank over the past couple of days:

£270 from Paypal (from a bloke in Canada who wanted to buy an enormous pile of cutlery from me, and kindly cut out the Ebay part to pay directly, so no fees!). Postage was deducted on my last update.
£137.64 Four lots of Free-Bingo winnings. I already deducted the deposits I made to withdraw these on my last update. Got some more going into a different account but can't access it online to see how much!
42p Quidco - I really need change the min payment amount up from zero!

Added to total for 10-12th Jan: £408.06. Total so far: £661.86. :j £3346.14 to go!

Mickey Mouse kindly messaged me earlier, and so we're now officially buddies - do we need to register that anywhere, or have I just done it?! Looking forward to doing lots of brain picking!

I don't have a list at the moment, it's for people individually really, just a boost along the way

Wow, PAP - that's nearly a quarter of the annual total and you're not even a week in! Are you sure you're only going for bronze?!

mickey_mouse

well done PAP - you are doing brilliantly:D

Thanks to Pandapaws for adopting me as her buddy:beer:

Hoping to get some more bids in on my ebaying efforts which finish tomorrow.

Gemmzie when do you want us to PM you? Do we PM you with our final totals each time or what we have made during that month? (did that make sense:rotfl: )

good luck everyone

Gemmzie

It'll be monthly this time as I've got chunks of time when I can't be here. So 8th Jan - 8th Feb will be month one so PM for those dates after that.
