  • I haven't had much luck with ebay either this week. I have been doing lots of cashback offers though and some should pay out before this challenge is over, but I won't add them to my total until they're received.

    I'm just over the £800 mark now so hopefully I will make it to the £1000 after all :D

    Apologies for not being around much, moving house and won't have Internet at nights for the next week or so after tomorrow, so I'll need the updates for post one as tomorrow is the halfway mark. :j :beer:

    Hope everyone is doing well, I've made loads of savings but no extra cash that can be included here. No matter, loads more savings to be made once I've moved. :)
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.

    Hi all! I'm doing terribly at this - £253.44 - I'm only just over a quarter of the amount at the half way point :eek: :o

    Off to PM you Nyk...

    Well done everyone - just think, we wouldn't have had any of this extra money so whatever we've made is fantastic!

  • oooh! some more bits cleared my account (£19.77 from matched betting and £10 from football pools), so my day 50 total has increased :)

    nyk - i've pm'd you again (sorry for being a nuisance), not just because my day 50 total has increased, but also because my day 20 total wasn't added to the first page of the thread, so i've pm'd you that too :)

    another £50 or so from matched betting will hopefully clear before the weekend, so my aim to reach £800 by the end of the week might not be too unreachable!
  • Page 5 my friends, PAGE % (shocked smilie!!) :D

    I am not doing too well, due to... oh yes thats it, lack of doing anything about it!! However have just claimed £30 from Ipoints and £10 from ChitChat... hmm not going to get there at this rate but will hope for inspiration to strike! Off to update siggy and PM Nyk... how embarrassing :o but better than nothing I shall tell myself :D

    EDIT: I'm now adding on from my change collection the massive amount of 20p so I am at least up to £300 :o:D

    £10 from the football pools offer that is currently on until Friday today. (will post a link to a post about it in a min) and i updated my signature to add the whole £2.03 from Quidco too.

    I guess i should be about the £500 mark by now though :p

    EDIT: Link to posts about football pools
