    Hi everyone

    No update to my total today again as no more hard cash, but I did win £10.61 on Foxy bingo (I was SO excited - never won at Bingo before!!). I was playing with a £10 bonus so it cost me nothing. I'll have to deposit £20 in order to withdraw as minimum withdrawl is £30 but that should be OK. Also thanks to trex170104's post above I made 60p on TCB and got a free DVD through free dvd.com. Five ebay auctions now have bids :T I'll only get 10% of the profits as its stuff I'm selling for my mum but the more bids they get, the more my cut will be!!

    Hey lonestarsky
    Glad I could be of help x

    Some of you are doing really, really well at this and it's geat! It's giving others (and me) the confidence to try harder at making a success of this. I'm now contemplating the scratchcard route. At the start of this year, I would never even have considered free scratchcards and bingo as a source of extra income but, £200 winnings down the line, I can really see that it makes a difference. With another 88 days left of this mini-challenge, I am actually enjoying the decluttering as well! It's normally such a chore! Thanks for keeping me company in this and I hope the extra cash is making a difference to you all. :)

    Edited in - I'm back. I settled for the join up link to Butlins Bingo via the £12.50 cashback at greasypalm and the click through has tracked. I've deposited the £10, got my £10 matched, got a free £1 bonus, have collected my first 10p from the free scratchcard and will now need to play through £10 to make sure I get the £12.50 (£2.50 profit). I'll need to re-read the 'tips' on how to withdraw winnings if I accrue any, so here's hoping. At worst, can we withdraw the free scratchcard winnings when they reach £10?
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.

    yeah that is right you can bet the £10 you have deposited but if you want to do the free scratchcards you need to make sure you have at least 10p in there (real money not bonus) you should have that if you did the free scratchcard. then you can use the 10p to do a scratchcard every day and make at least 10p also this is important sunday you get two free scratchcards so once you have scratched you free scratchcard go to the home page and got to free scratch cards again and you will get another!
    also when you have used your real money £10 and go to scratch cards you will lose your matched £10 when you withdraw!

    right thats that sorted here is my mornings goings ons

    morning all
    everyone seems to be doing so well this month.

    today i have sold something on e bay for £10.50 which will go into paypal till i have £50 to cash out
    I won £5 on a free scratchcard so i was able to withdraw £11 from them which i have added to my total
    yesterday evening i listed the lcd tv i won on e bay so in 10 days i should have £180 at least from that.
    i have started doing dooyoo and have reached enough for a £10 voucher but again i won't add it till i have recieved it might keep going to see if i can get £50 cash instead!!

    this morning has been pretty good for me! i've done my free scratchcards on littlewoods and butlins bingo, won 3 lots of 10p and a 50p :) balance isn't high enough to withdraw anything yet though, so i can't add it to my total.

    got an email from bingoliner this morning giving me a free £5, so i've played some bingo (best time to do it because there are less players and more chance of winning). Won £11, so i deposited £10 and then withdrew £21 (can't withdraw less than £20) so as soon as that hits my account, i'll add it to my total :)

    i've also had my first go at matched betting! i've only bet £10, and the free bet is SNR, so i'll only make about £6 out of it, but still better than nothing! and once i've got the hang of the smaller bets, i'll start trying my luck with bigger ones!

    Won the bonus ball at work so £20 to come from that and found 25p in my car when I cleared it out this morning:p Every little helps:D

    Total now £50.25 still not doing very well but suppose I am just about on target.
    Reduce,re-use, recycle.






  • Hi everyone.

    I'm up to £52.42 received now - had another 2 P!necone surveys, won a little bit on free bingo (and withdrew it instead of blowing the lot!), and a magnificent £3.38 from Quidco.

    Seem to be a bit stuck just doing daily scratchcards and surveys - need to branch out a bit (I must, must, must list something to sell - is there a smiley for very bored?!).

    Well done everyone.

  • Made £20 today so I'm finally past the £100 mark, woohoo :j My mum gave me £20 because I took her up to the dr'd last week, picked up her prescription and did a couple of things round the house for her. Also listed a couple more things on ebay!!

    this matched better thing is bad for the blood pressure! i think i've got it figured out, but sitting around waiting for the match i've bet on to finish so that i can check that it's all worked out ok is a bit scary! all this worry for £7.50ish (i managed to find better odds to give me a high percentage of the free bet money).

    i've opened an account with another bookie too, and have placed a £25 bet to qualify for a free £25 bet... i'll move up to bigger stakes once i'm sure i've got it sorted out.

    i'm hoping that matched betting will get me closer to my £1000 so that i won't have to sell my wii! even just a couple of hundred pounds between now and christmas would be nice... if i can be brave enough to place big enough bets that is!!
  • Well finally properly off the starting mark - been checking my old matched betting accounts and found £118.85!!! Nice... Needed something really! When I get it I am going to use it towards doing some more matched betting, good good good - and checked Quidco had a payment for £20.08 from Hilarys Blinds - Awesome!

    Otherwise I've also been doing scratchcards and surveys - with the occasional clicks but they are soooooooooooo boring - will motivate myself now and do them while watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! :D
