The 2008 Olympic Challenge thread

sweetpeas_2

Hi! :hello:

I've (somehow) managed to talk dh into doing a carboot with me this weekend, so I shall be using this towards little challenge.

I think I'm going to use whatever I make from this challenge for our holiday spending money for our holiday in May. We are actually only hoping to take about £400 as we're all inclusive, but the rest of what I make I will use towards my Christmas for free 2008 challenge.

That's good noggin, we are hoping to do one May bank holiday, there's a pretty massive one near here so hoping that'll bump the total a bit

Just paid another £100 off capital one might do another 48 and get it under the 4k mark.

Well we go down to the caravan for weekends during the summer and they have a massive car boot there every saturday morning- a pitch is only £3 and you dont have to go until about 6.30am. The one were doing this weekend starts at 5am :eek: (not told dh that bit yet- lol) and i think a pitch is about £6-£8.
We're both working at our second jobs on Saturday night until about 12, so we'll be kn4ck'ed Sunday morning when we get up at 4.15! but hey ho, needs must... :rolleyes:

Im going to get all the stuff out of the loft tomorrow and get it sorted out ready to pack the car.

I'll let you know how we go on
