    Hi,
    Another £13.73 to add from MB today and £20 tracked on Quidco. I have signed up for 2 more bookies for tomorrow. Plan for next week to sort out old uni books to put on Amazon. I have been saying I will do a car boot sale for months - but cannot motivate myself to get up into the loft to sort out all of my clutter. Must try harder :rolleyes:
  • I was hoping to add a bit more today but my friend now cant do a car boot so we are going later in the month

    Just got back from my friends wedding - she got married yesterday with the reception in a hotel with a lovely spa so this morning I treated myself and OH to back, neck and shoulder massages - found 10% off voucher in our hotel room so we got £6 off, plus OH emptied all his coppers from his suit pockets and I swiped them = 14p :D

    I feel sooooo relaxed now

    :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:
    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.

    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!

    A very motivating challenge and do-able. I am amazed.:T

    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 players
