    I am not sure yet how I will do this but as I start on maternity leave in the middle of Jan I will have loads of time to think about it.

    Great idea!

    good idea about the carboots but would that count unless you are selling items bought with your tenner?

    I just sold my copy on amazon, but think there are some more copies going cheap on there.

    yes mm you would only be able to count a car boot if you bought items to sell! so if you bought £5 of items and the car boot cost £5 entrance fee that would be your £10

    Please add me too....although I might only do it until April as this is when we get married and I am just thinking this might be a fun way of getting a little bit more cash towards the big day x

    i dunno if it would be unfair for you lot to play! anything that inspires us to make extra cash is great. Would £10 be enough to get anywhere with matchbetting?
