Thanks Jet, must update my signature. I've now finished bronze, really enjoying this, is there enough time to go for silver??

I've just got another £2.36 from Topcashback. I've also had notification from Amazon that I've sold another book :j :j but I won't add that to my signature until it's actually in my account and I've taken off postage fees......

Oh, and DH got a profit of £72.50 on the Grand National yesterday :j :j so that will go on too when it arrives in the bank account!

I am now up to £1074.56, have gone a bit slowly lately but have a couple of items on ebay and have £85 coming soon from claiming back the costs of my glasses.

I've got 23 items finishing on ebay tomorrow, so fingers crossed can update my signature afterwards. They are all small things, books and badges, but every bit counts.

Woohoo! Just in the nick of time, the winnings from the Grand National have been added to my account so I can officially add them to my sig. Ok, so not doing as well as other people but it's all adding up. DH is getting on board with this - especially as the money is going to our holiday account.

Now to PM Gemmzie with my update......

Hi everyone

Here's my update for today. On top of what I posted last update I have made:

* Overtime at work - £ 480.00
* Tax Refund Jipee! - £ 398.82
* Annual Leave Payout - £ 486.32
* Amazon Sales (minus postage) - £ 23.28
* ISA Interest - £ 0.36

Which brings my total up so far to : £ 1 847.75 so far! Am really enjoying this challenge so much, thanx to everyone for keeping me
motivated. It means that I can celebrate my 40th birthday in style by going to NY for an extra long weekend, a dream come true! and it's the weekend of the gay pride, incidental, not planned, and it's going to be one big party as there's about 6 of us going! and it's not going to add to my debt or impact on my DFD!! So amazing, thanx!

Cheers
Casper

Oh yes, forgot to add:

Am off to put some more stuff onto ebay, hopefully will get some more sold. Some items are now going on for the last time, if I don't manage to sell them this time I may just give them to the charity shop, tired of paying for listing items that don't sell. Still get charged an ebay fee even if they don't sell?

Cheers

Can I join this please on Bronze

Already saved just over £320 so can put that towards the total.

That was from cutting my Car Insurance and finding some money tidying

Will keep everyone posted!
