    Ooh good, fingers crossed it works for Mogwai and me too :T

    BB, I'd really love nothing better than to join you in a spot of Ebay blurb writing but I'm in panic mode about hen do (see 4K so I don't bore peeps by repeating myself) - honest, Ebay is preferable right now!

    I love how excited we all are at the idea of accumulating money :j I found 20p the other day and was delirious!

    Wel done Jumble-Bee, that must feel good! Now it has been mentioned I have a pile of old uni books I need to sell, and this is the right time of year to be doing it too.... Must get moving.

  • Well done on your Amazon sale, Jumble Bee. That's my next aim... to get cracking with Amazon. I still haven't sorted out the problem with the telephone-registration-thing -- will drop them an email later and see what they say!
  • well, i think i've finally got off the starting blocks! i signed up to gala bingo, deposited £5 and won £30!

    i've withdrawn all of the money and will wait and make sure it goes into my account before playing any more bingo (i'm scared i'll end up losing all my money rather than making some!) and once it's in my account, i'll add it to my signature :)

    Need to get off the ground with this challenge but everything I'm doing won't pay out for another few weeks (I'm only counting the money when it is in my bank account).

    I'm signing up for all the mystery shops I can, doing loads of surveys, listing on Ebay and have also just signed up for Playtrade and have listed a DVD and a DS game. I'm now doing a load of comps to try and win some DVDs, CDs, games etc to sell on Playtrade.

    I know in a couple of weeks I will be up and running :rolleyes: .
