:hello:
I've changed my mind (again) as to what i will be using the money for :rolleyes:... I will be definately using it for our caravan ground rent. We need £1050 by May, so after that has been all paid off, I wil then start saving towards Christmas, and obv need to update myself to Silver

SO, my ground rent so far is actually made up differently to what my Olympic Challenge total is. SO i wonder if I may ammend? All the money will have still been made within the life of this challenge, it's just I've included some in my challenge total that isn't for the ground rent, and some for the ground rent which is NOT currently in total...:rolleyes: for those still following my jiberish... I will include a new total:

phew...
£400 from yellow pages delivery- delivered around 8th February (after the challenge started but before I actually joined )
£190 over time (This will be paid on 18th April and 18th May)
£80 Elections money (this wont be paid until 1st May-but my mum is going to do a borrow so I cna include it for Ground Rent)
£30 each from Saturday 8th March and Saturday 1th March pay days (2nd job)

so that totals £730 so far. Trying to remember, this is actually due by 29th April. After Iive paid this I'll carry on the challenge for Silver to save up for Christmas.
Hope no body minds I am changing my "strategy" a bit, it will just help me more to be able to base the whole challenge around the Ground Rent.

Alot easier for me this way :D

Hi everyone

Won £52 on the lottery on Wednesday night, and have also managed £12.24 from Amazon Sales, but will have to deduct £ 4.90 for postage costs, so that's another £59.34 to add. Am very pleased with that. Got into amazon mode last week and listed 30 items lol, have sold 7 cds so far. Also did loads of overtime last month so will know on payday (Tuesday) how much that is, but have a feeling it'll be at least £300, am hoping anyway lol.

Cheers
Casper

Hi, Just thought I would give an update on my progress. I am not on the site much lately, but am still doing the challenge - have written all my earnings on a piece of paper and put it on the wall next to my PC, and find it good motivation to keep on!
I had a big clearout and made £160 on Ebay a few weeks ago. I then sold another few bits and have another £43 in my paypal account, but a few auctions havent ended yet, so I'm waiting until they're finished before cashing it and adding to my total. I spoke to the electric company about my bill and seems I have been overpaying for goodness knows how long, so not only have they reduced my monthly payments, but they are refunding £142 into my bank account. Should receive that Tuesday hopefully:T
I am also only 40p away from the minimum cash-out of £40 on www.onepoll.com so I'm hoping they add some new surveys to the site next week!!

Does anyone happen to know what Global Test Market give you when you redeem 1000 points? Whatever it is, it'll be in my savings pot in May!
