    All quiet here, but the cashback & scratchcards amounts pending withdrawal are now over the £100 mark. :D Haven't had much time for anything, recently, between work, Christmas preparations and unpacking boxes from the housemove. Thank goodness 2009 is just around the corner, it's the only thing giving me any hope of succeeding this year's 4k challenge, even if I don't make the £1000 in 100 days :) Well done to all who are still raking it in.

    Hi everyone,
    I've joined another challenge so I got a bit sidetracked with this one!!
    Anyway, I've added my other total to this one as its still in the right period of time!
    I'm doing some work at the moment so I'll hopefully have a chq for it and that should take me over the £1000 total.....

    Can't wait to do this challenge again next year...are you going to do a link to the new thread from here nyk?

    I'm going to use this challenge for my savings account!

    Added another £3 for something I managed to sell. Still no takers for the tumble dryer, though, and my scratchcard money hasn't arrived in my bank yet. Srill, better than nothing and there's still Christmas gift money, if anyone sends me any :D

    FrankieM, I'll add a link from this thread to the new one as soon as it starts :)

  • £6 paypal payment from p!necone today. Turns out my £120 payment from t*pcashback won't be in my bank until 6th Jan which means I can't count it towards this challenge. Booo! Will hopefully receive money at christmas, and will withdraw from my free scratchcard accounts so should still make the £1000 (just!!).
  • Well hello there all - have done a quick tot up and up to £601.26 - mainly from matched betting, a couple of Boots trials (where you go in) and some survey payouts - lost interest in clicks again!!

    Am pleased I have at least £40 of scratchcards to come but other wise... well more matched betting I guess! Off to tot up my accounts there and see what I can do!

    Good luck all :D OMG 14 days to go...

    Hi guys, I'm still awaiting verification from Tak€abr€ak - after claiming so many free scratchcards, they seem to block you from accessing them until you pay in again, which I have done, and played a few games. I now need to await further verification (since moving house) to allow me to withdraw my £10 plus a few pounds of winnings that are there. So, it really is a game of chance, rendering my scratchcards tax free winnings, as far as I am concerned. :D

    Need to start preparing for next year's challenge very soon, only a fortnight to go.
