    Good afternoon!

    We have collected the student who seems very nice......excellent English!

    I have just done vernons on quidco.....also did DOND and lost 74p or something so will hopefully make a withdrawal tomorrow once they have verified my age. It will be a bonus if quidco pays out as quickly as it seems - I could do with a good start for October!!

    Thanks benben for the tip :T

    Not yet done STP.......still trying to summons up the enthusiasm!!

    Oh good! How long is s/he with you?

    I've been seeing adverts for 365bingo.com and foxybingo - have you tried these recently Hypno?

    Glad the new student is nice - must make things a lot easier! Male or female?

    Am off now to look at the vernons thing.

    The student is with us now until June - she is really nice (so far!).

    Foxybingo etc - yes have completely taken advantage of them already :D

    STP - well I have done about 6 or 7 tracks so far today - I won't stop until I have done at least 10.......but it can be hard going! Every little helps though, as they say, so if I can earn a few pennies from it, then I should be happy!!

    I have just reviewed 21 tracks on STP - for a whole £1.05.....part of me thinks there just MUST be easier ways of earning money, but then another part says that I am sat on the sofa near my coffee, so really is life on STP sooooo bad :confused:

    If I can get up to £10 in September, then I will be happy with that.......that is an awful lot of tracks to review, but £10 is £10 and would be another tenner to chuck at the HSBC card.

    I had a bit of a mini brainstorming session earlier today for moneymaking stuff - I need to get my act together a bit in order to capitalise on, and maintain the good August that I have had.....work in OH second job is good for September but then dries up in October, so we need to try and get ahead of ourselves otherwise the lean times will be even harder.

    Hypno I know how you feel about STP I always think the same, but like you say if we are sat here anyway might as well be making some cash.

    I definately need to brainstorm more money making ideas but I am so limited. It has to be something I can do at home really. So my options are ebay or STP.

    I do surveys as well but obviously most you don't get any cash till you have £40 plus.

    I think my best chance of raising extra is to get my head into matched betting again. When it works, it works well, I just have to put my mind towards it and not be lazy when the offers come through. They are there to be taken advantage of, so that is what I should do.

    The other thing I am aware of is that this week I have been to the cash machine more times than I had done in the previous month.....must get out of that habit - I have signed up for the Sept NSD challenge and hope to do ok there - tomorrow can't be a NSD as I have to take kitties to the vets, but hopefully Tuesday will be the first of many NSDs....

    Still slicing the pie :o I tell you, I soooo deserve to be debt free :rotfl:
