  • I'm in please! August 8th 2008 is the date of my wedding and I am aiming to clear all my annoying smaller debts by then leaving me with about 10k in a loan which is nice and manangeable.

    I'd like to go for Silver please! :beer:

    Already signed up for the mystery shopping and survey sites.Its brilliant to find ones on here that you can trust.I've wasted so much time in the past trying to find work from home jobs that turn out to be a con.

    If it's money then yes. If it's an item, only if you sell it or it was something you'd buy anyway.

    Only if you want to be paired up. It's just a way of keeping someone else motivated and maybe learning a new skill to help you through the challenge.

    Although I love the idea of a buddy to help me, I'd rather be seen as a challenger in my own right. If my buddy as doing really well and I was doing not so well I'd feel really guilty; plus it would demotivate me as I think I'd be tempted to not put as much effort in if I knew I could fall back on someone else............if that makes sense

    I agree! Though I love to see the grand total that we have saved at the end of the challenge too...
