woohoo! another £5 bingo win cleared my account this afternoon

i also signed up for another bingo site through topcashback, cashback is £30 if it pays out, and i only had to deposit £10, which i've won back, so the whole £30 will be profit
fingers crossed it tracks ok!! 0 -

I know I've been a bit of a stranger but to be honest it's because I'm trying to spend more time on Ebay than I do on here. I am a self confessed Ebay expert ( all the ones in my work ask me for advice ) so I am happy for anyone to PM me any questions and I'll try my best to answer. Quidco success A&L marked paid £50 ( opened a/c haven't actually used it yet ) £55 from Yes Car re car insurance, £15.50 Lovefilm free trial, 2 x £5.80 Magazine Group. 18 items listed on ebay so I have been a busy bee also £60 a la Gordon Brown £192.10 so far before I start counting ebay ( £95ish so far but 18 items ending on unday so I'll update with a figure then ) Almost £300 in the first week... I'm guessing this is going to get harder as I run out of Quidco freebies and stuff to Ebay ( although that will take a while as my house is straning under the weight of all the things I have accumulated through years of buying at bootsales !!)
Hope everyone else is doing well:TBusy mum of 3, so if my posts don't make sense or ask a silly question be patient:rotfl:0 -
Another £2.57 from ebay... every little helps I suppose. Total is now £44.03

Just checked my account and it's increased by £16.02 so I'm beginning to feel a little more positive. If I can make it to £100 in 10 days (by Thursday 2nd October) then I'll be bang on target. I STILL haven't taken any photos of the stuff to be listed and still haven't sold the laptop. The first enquiry was a timewaster wanting to overpay and have it sent to Nigeria!!! :mad: That's 2 scam/phishing emails I have received through my ads on Gumtree; not looking too good for that method of advertising, is it?I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.

I've found electronic items attract that type of attention don't know much about gumtree but could you exclude foreign transactions to see if that helps or maybe state in the actions that items will not be posted outside the UK, I sually find this helps on ebayBusy mum of 3, so if my posts don't make sense or ask a silly question be patient:rotfl:0

Didn't win the Euromillions last night, damn that ould have made this challenge a lot easier
I've been doing the last three weeks so I'm going to knock that on the head waste of money - apparently your 3 times more likely to be struck by lightening in the UK than win the lottery - scary odds. On that note I have great success in the past on Quidco joining betting sites spending £10 and gaining £25 cashback as well as a free bet... easy money if your disciplined enough not to continue gambling ( the house always wins !!! except when your taking advantage of Quidco offers) Busy mum of 3, so if my posts don't make sense or ask a silly question be patient:rotfl:0 -
I haven't had any major increases, just little here and there amounts, although this challenge has spurned me on to look into new ways to earn points etc to claim rewards. I had previously just assumed there were not many sites for New Zealanders, but have found a place to earn money for writing reviews, another survey site and have been doing my normal clicks site. Most of my money has come from online auctions.
Funny part is, taking this challenge I didn't think I could do it, would just have a go, but now I think I can with a bit of luck/work. :T :T"Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without!!"Nov NSD: ?/30 Nov Make 10 Day ?/300Get Rid Of Debt: ?/2000 !! :mad:0 -
