I still need to set my resolutions - I'm trying to think really hard about them so I stick to them instead of forgetting.

Well done on the scratchcard and bingo wins - are these the ones that are free everyday?

determinedtodothis

yeah i'm still doing the scratchcards everyday and i'm winning at least 20p so thats a £1 a week

I added up all the points, cashbacks and winnings over december and i'd earnt almost £300 in December which really surprised me I'm going to try and be a lot smarter with my tesco club card points this year.

Hey how many bingo sites are you a member of? I've just joined littlewoods so far - had 2x 10p and 1x £1.

What others can I join - I fancied Take a Break as you recommended it but wasn't sure if it was a conflict with lwoods.

I'd love to know how you made almost £300 in free stuff in December - I should be doing that!

Iwanttobreakfree, last month was a particular good month really i did some extra work one weekend (£150), I got £50 cash back for my car insurance from Tesco, I got £30 from Qudico, I won £60 on the bingo...

This month might be a little more difficult! I joint Take a break and littlewoods as the take a break doesn't come up St M's, I also did matched on the sun bingo and I got the card this weekend for the free bingo for January so I'm trying to do the one in the paper and the one on line, then I signed up to wink bingo (again Matched) I tried crown bingo too but found that not as good...

Hi DTDT!!! Just quickly (as I should be daily clicking or working!!) I'm not sure about matched betting!

I really like the sound of it and I know I'm pretty alright with figures etc. But I started reading the beginers guide (on a forum somewhere) and after about 3 pages was totally bogged down. I think if you can get through all the reading and it still makes sense it has to be worth a go. Especially if it starts with free bets from the bookies!

Let me know if you give it a go!!

Hey DTDT I did matched betting a couple of years ago when I was first looking at MSE, I made some good money especially as you not only make the cash on the matched bet but also on the cash back through quidco! I wasn't brilliant, but I did run the system again over the summer for my sister and made her a couple of hundred pounds!

Hey!! I'm going to have to join up for these scratchcards and bingo they sound like they're making you some cahs - and that's much needed at the moment!

Hope you continue with your luck
