    OMG rachelja that's amazing!!!

    betterlife - you've got the MFN mentality already!! - love the Valentines Day idea and wish I was crafty but have 2 left hands :D

    I was really please cos had got over the £200 mark and then ..... ebay sent me an invoice for £50.29 :(

    I'm not going to be able to do anything towards the challenge this weekend again as it's completely jam packed so I need to pull my finger out after the kids have gone to bed every night this week.

    Tonight will be ... listing on ebay and then reading my matched betting notes whilst tucked up in bed with a cup of tea ;)

    Tomorrow I will post stuff that didn't sell on ebay on the intranet on work and after kids have gone to bed place 2 matched bets.

    That's the plan and if I don't stick to it please feel free to give me a BIG HUGE KICK!!!!

    Have you done your MB's yet Jet! :j:j You know you want to! :p I have heard some of the bookies offer a better free bet at weekends though. Something I was unaware of! Have you got the google list with them on? I only discovered it this week and missed out on £50 by doing a mid week qualifier :rolleyes:.

    Betterlife that sounds great, the valentines idea! I am rubbish at that stuff. Post a link and we can see all your hard work to get some inspiration!

    I don't quite believe this myself but I won again on the Bingo tonight, just under £200. I am getting a bit freaked out, it doesn't seem real to be honest. I won't count any of it until it hits the bank. There have been loads of MSE winners tonight and if anyone is interested it is on the freebie scratcards thread on the gambling loopholes board. It is free (no lose) on TAB until the end of this week I think. :T

    The bingo is Take a Break, a special promotion just running for a few more days now. Go to the free scratch card link on the gambling loopholes board, it tells you everything you need to know. Some big winners and it is quite funny in the bingo chat too. No luck for me last night but I don't expect to win any more :rolleyes:

    Another loophole that *has* been working *so far* is that if you make a deposit you get a 100% cash match. I deposited £10, got free £10 and played on no lose, the £20 was refunded to my cash balance and withdrawable (after giving ID). This bypasses the normal play through requirements and is a free tenner.

    Good luck anyone that plays!

    ok, not doing very well, my plan to make something valentiney went pair shaped after wasting £10! so have decided to give up that idea rather than waste anymore money. so i have £15 left. am going to buy some bits off the kids that they no longer want in the hope of selling them on ebay to make some money! so after i started this challenge with £25 on monday i am getting desperate to double my money for this coming money! god how hard is it going to be in a few weeks! x
