i have pm'd nyk with my 20 day total already, as i'm not expecting anymore money today - £226.52 so far, so i'm just ahead of target!

i think i may have beaten Wink Bingo too! after being annoyed the other day that they wouldn't let me withdraw my winnings because i hadn't deposited £20, i decided to make another deposit today, to bring me up to the £20 and play just enough so that i had played through £20 in total. i figured that my profit would be a little bit less than it was before, but it would still be a little profit and better to fulfil the withdrawal requirements than let £27 sit in my wink account...

well, i deposited £10, taking my total withdrawal to £20 and my account balance to £37. i then played £10 on an instant game (hi-lo shuffle, which i happen to be pretty lucky at)...

after i had played a total of £10, which satisfied the £20 requirement, as i had played £10 previously, i withdrew.... £48!

so instead of losing £17 by letting me withdraw my £27 last week... they lost £28!

i'm not adding it to my total until it's in my bank, because i'm half worried that they'll try to find a way to not let me withdraw the money! i've checked the terms and conditions properly this time though - i have deposited a total of £20 and i have played through a total of £20, so it they try to reverse the withdrawal this time, i'll kick up a fuss!

If you can all PM me your scores as soon as day 20 is completed that will let me update post 1 tomorrow. Some have already updated as it's the weekend but we have until midnight tonight, so don't panic, there's still a few hours left to earn a few pennies more

I'm still stuck on £190.42 but am ever hopeful of a payment reaching me for a mixed box of stuff.

Thanks to those who have already PM'd their updates, I have now added the amounts to post one.

Buffy, I've updated the page I sent you as I've got some results back from another cashback site that's looking very promising.

My free scratchcards are accumulating nicely and I've reached £1 since last Saturday. My free clicks are mounting up and my G*mtree advertising campaign has now been joined by V*vastreet in a bid to earn an extra £4.20 per week - both companies are paying 30p cashback now. I'm also doing as many of the win4n*w competitions as I can, which earn 5p per entry, and I'm claiming every free point I can for entries into the J*ckp*tj*y monthly cash draw - some days, if I'm really lucky, I manage 15,000 points. A cash win would help me loads just now, especially with the house move next month - oh the trauma of losing broadband even if it's only temporarily!

Hey guys,

Phew sorry haven't updated in a bit, last few days have been manic! Work is sooo stressful right now too !!

Anyways you lot don't care about all that rubbish, you just want to see the colour of my money !!

Sooo can't remember exactly when I last posted, it might have been Tuesday, but anyways I did a total of 3.75 hours OT this week (worth £24.41 NET!), found 1p, my OH paid me back extra money this month (£20 now received & added to Challenge savings), and received a £5 M&S voucher for a Direct Line ins quote which I received this morning (money swapped out of my Xmas fund & added to Challenge savings). This brings my totals to:

£211.65 / £1,000 (MADE & GUARANTEED TO GET)
£187.24 / £1,000 (BANKED)

I also have £7 tracking in Quidco for signing up to their Experian offer, just waiting for that to pay out. And just going to go and do my daily clicks, investigate DooYoo properly (thanks lonestarsky!), and have another look at MB'ing! Well I hope I am anyway ... I am full of good intentions but am really tired today (aka lazy!) :rotfl:

I have also been working out my CC re-payment plan... it's currently standing at £2488.01 which I think is unreasonably high!! I know it includes my OD (used 0% BT deal to pay off OD as it was costing me interest) but it's still quite daunting anyways yes the 0% runs out in June '09 so need to pay it off by end of May '09 to avoid charges. If I can actually make £1k in this Challenge (!), I already have £1k saved, which in the New Year would leave me with a bill of:

£488.01 (minus 8 x min. payments of £25 e.g. £200)
£288.01 (minus the C/Tax for Feb & Mar - £61.50 x2 or £123)
£165.01 (minus the other £49.55 that I've saved)
£115.46

Now, IF my OH carries on paying me back £20 p/month without fail, the remainder is more than covered by this! (7 x 20 = £140, so it would be a little towards another debt, too!)

But if NOT then the first quarter of 2009 Challenge would be (for me) - £115.46 towards remainder of CC, £433.54 (paying off Sofa 0% finance), then the remainder of £451 towards paying back my family (I owe a little over £900 to them at the moment). Which would be sooo exciting as family debt is my last debt!! :T Never thought I'd see the day where there was light at the end of the tunnel

Oh and for those of you who are confused about my totals - the ones in my post are correct, I can't update my sig for some reason, will do it when I next get a chance to pop online. Nyk - I won't receive any more money today for definite, so am going to PM you now.

Hope everyone's having a good day! :A xx

Well, I've called it a day on waiting to see if payment arrives. I guess it is possible that it may still appear as anything can happen online, but I'm prepared to mark it down to another timewaster and relist the items after the weekend. Why do people continually insist they are going to pay and then never do? Why not just say, 'sorry for wasting your time but I changed my mind'? What's wrong with people?

Post one updated accordingly - Trex, I think you and a few others are keeping your own totals in this as a practice run for next year. I hope you don't mind if your details aren't showing up on this one bit I need to have cut off points to avoid too many upsets. I think you are exactly one week behind everyone but racing well ahead of the game, so well done for that :T

Nyk - just to confirm I know I am not an official member: just enjoying seeing what I an manage over the time left, so not needing or expecting to be on any list.

Thanks BB, loving the signature referring to it!:rotfl:
Stick with it for the duration as every panny counts and 2009 isn't that far away. Not sure how well I'll do in this, as I'm not likely to win bingo and premium bonds very often within the next 80 days... although I believe that is time enough to go around the world! :rotfl:

I have £91.54 pending in tcb if the insurance one pays out but it says that won't be available for claiming until December 31st, JUST in the nick of time! I'll try my best to make this up to £100 asap and I should manage to reach £10 with the free scratchcards by then, plus I'll have the contents of 'Phil the Pig' to count in on 1st December, that could total another £100. But, I haven't a clue where the other £600 will appear from if I don't start selling more stuff. Hoping to raise a couple of hundred from sales between now and then, umm... still £400 short

Jenna

Well I've finally done my daily clicks! Been distracting myself with reading the forums here, doing my emails etc - oops! I do find them v. boring though ... anyone have any tips?! It just seems so slow and I do sometimes wonder if they are worth my time over them (in a £p/hr sort of way). But that said it's free cash I wouldn't have otherwise sooo?! Hmm perhaps I will like them better after they've paid out, it doesn't feel like "real money" at this stage.

So what's everyone up to tonight? Can't say I'm doing much, too tired, I feel sad and boring lol and I'm only 22! Oh well lol xx
