    I have cracked the bronze challenge (well, once my bingo win from yesterday in safely in my account I will have). This has been achieved through a mixture of free money bingo wins, overtime and cashback sites. I will update sig to go for the silver challenge. xx
    Second and final LBM 01/01/11 Nearly got there but fell of wagon. HAVE to do it this time :mad:
  • I have had no progress this weekend as I have been braving the weather and raising money for the NAS, I did a sponsored walk from Winchester-Southampton and back over 2 days, 30 miles in total!!

    I did manage to make £2 over the weekend by selling a drinks voucher to a friend at a works party (I was driving so wasnt drinking so said she could have them if she got me a soft drink, but she gave me the money for a soft drink instead) but that has gone into the charity pot!!
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!

    Well this is my first month of doing the challenge and from 8th Feb to 8th March, I've earnt the grand sum of £53.48!! No bad at all, although nearly 2/3 of that is from 1 foreign coin that DH sold on Ebay - but it all counts!

    Not doing so bad this month either - I won £10 on Lottery on Saturday. Hopefully that counts towards it!

    I've also got 2 governors meetings over and above normal that I am claiming for, I'll get paid for them in April, but that will keep the money coming in!
