I'm in too, and I'll try for gold as it would clear my last 2 credit cards without leaving me short of cash to actually live on - a big bear trap for me. I start off the month feeling optimistic and pay off biggish chunks, then find myself needing the money later on in the month.

I'm an AQAer but have been quite lazy with it in the last couple of months. I also have some stuff still to shift on Amazon and eBay, plus I'm trying to set myself up as a seller on etsy.com, I have a huge stash of wool to use up before I move house late next year and have recently been making stuffed animals as Christmas presents for friends/family. I think these might sell quite well, but they can be time consuming to make. I'm trying to 'upcycle' old clothes that won't sell on eBay and have been playing around with making gift bags and purses out of them.

I also need to get back into the habit of daily clicks and surveys and a bit of motivation from a buddy would help me out. I do a bit of mystery shopping but find it hard to get jobs these days as they get snapped up before I can accept them.

Good luck to everyone taking part.

ok, I would like to join for some longer term focus in making extra money. I am also doing the make £10 a day challenge so from my perspective, that challenge is breaking the olympic challenge down into manageable chunks.

For that reason....silver for me please.

Oh, and would be great to have a buddie...not sure what my speciality is as just started money saving really but I do all my clicks and surveys daily. Would love to learn about matched betting but am too scared to do alone so if anyone woudl either like to learn with me or has a bit of knowledge, would you like to join me?

Gemmzie

Added all the people above.

If you want to be buddied up, please PM me with your skill to offer and the skill you'd like to learn and I'll try and match you up with a fellow challenger.

And since it's just been Christmas....
There's a 10p Ebay listing day on Saturday 29th - if you list and sell then you can count your profit as it probably won't hit your account/Paypal until the 8th
Good luck
