@ BrisbaneJane - Congratulations on your awesome achievement in under half a year! 🎉🎉. Please do carry on and report your earnings as it inspires others to keep going with this challenge. I too complete this challenge 5 times over last year and have already completed it for 2026, so decided to take on a few more MSE money savings challenges; all in my signature, just to keep myself on my savings toes, and it's working 😅😅.

Not counting as money made but thought I would tell you about money I chased up as I am quite pleased with myself. I ordered a pair.of.bowling.ahoes.for.DH, they arrived a size to big. I complained and was told they were the right shoes and they came up a size bigger. As my DH has never worn clown shoes.I complained again and they offered 80% which would save me returning them! I gave in because this was taking up too much of my time and accepted their offer. After 2 weeks I checked my bank.details and money had still not been returned. Complained again and finally.they have returned the money in full including the postage. It's what should have happened in the first place but I do feel that it is a small win. I wouldn't have followed that through without this thread so thank you.

Good for you and well done for chasing things up 🤗. It's so very easy to forget a due refund and realise too late to chase it, or loose energy and motivation in having to keep chasing with lost time, when it shouldn't have happened in the first place.

Hello everyone - happy June! 😀

Apologies I'm a bit late with my monthly update. Things are continuing to tick along nicely for me, with my second competition win and a great month on the Premium Bonds! I do need to step up the surveys and other earners but I'm really pleased with how it's going and really enjoying the challenge!

I'm also still earning units on Mistplay, coins on PlayWell, loyalty points in the shops and pennies on WeWard! Values shall be totalled up and added at the end of the year.

I hope you all have a great June - soon we will be halfway through the year (unbelievable!) and I'm so chuffed I joined you all 😀 xxx
