    Hi,

    I am writing Feb off as have done b**ger all really towards the challenge. I have £10.50 validated on quidco and am disputing a further £60 but won't count these until they have cleared. I also have some earnings from extra job £21.63 which I am adding.

    Well done everyone .. you're doing better than me :D

    Sorry you're not feeling good about the challenge today jet, hopefully ull feel better about it by the end of march. :o

    But you've still managed quite a lot extra on top of your normal income towards the challenge so far so don't be too disheartened ;)

    The woman who took the underskirt is definately wanting it, so thats another £10 cash to add towards my stash on Thursday :D

    Apart from that I have nothing else to update. Oh, we're doing a car boot on 16th March, let's hope for some better weather this time.... :confused::rotfl:

    I've finally been through and sorted an OC spreadsheet for this challenge - haven't done great so far :rolleyes: - £135.17 but as people say if I didn't do this challenge I probably wouldn't have the money and certainly wouldn't have it stored away (trying to get some savings together as I'm debt free other than student loan and mortgage - so a lot of debt but you know what I mean)

    Have got some money from lightspeed and quidco on the way so that's another £15 or so and really need to get ebaying - have set myself a challenge of £100 by the end of March and will get some things ready for this weekend.

    Hoping March is my month for getting really into it and back on track
