Made another £25 on quidco - mainly £20 for £1 saving account!:j plus some surveys and newsletter sign ups... Also sold a necklace for £3. So it's the 10th August and I think I'm now on approx £88 having also made £110 in July (car-boot £40, selling furniture £60, Reviews £10) which is fab since it's less than a month since I joined the site.savingholmes wrote: »:j I thought this was too difficult but I would now like to sign up. I have earned £40 from Quidco so far, plus £25 voucher tomorrow from holiday company, plus won free holiday.... So here goes hoping the rest of the month gets better still!:rotfl:
If I can think of £50 worth of stuff I need from Wilko's I've got a £5 off in £50 voucher to spend there too!

Every so often I log into all the bongo sites I have joined using the free sign-up bonus to see if I have any bongo points to covert into a few pence to play with. While doing this I just came across one site which is still doing the free £10 play - Closer bongo - I missed this one when I posted the other day as I thought they had stopped recently.
I've found about 25p to play with too in some sites but no wins so far
Also http://bingo.gazettelive.co.uk/ gives free £10 for new playersNot been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/1550 -
