    I'm now on £263, although I should have a couple of evening's overtime pay coming this week too.

    I tried out the Take a Break site... signed up, deposited £10 and played my free scratch card, and haven't been able to log back in since! It keeps locking me out, so I keep emailing them requesting it be unlocked, and then it happens again! And I really wanted a chance to get some winnings!!

    Best I email them again :mad:

    Updated my totals tonight, some of my TAB winnings came through :T Much of it straight off the credit card and some owed to family too. Also got £13 from Mazuma, their cheque came really quickly and would recommend them. :j

    TAB ended now, but the CM said it runs every few months.

    Did you get logged in in time to have a couple of games minniepoos? Do I remember chatting to you in the chat room now lol it is a bit of a blur but the name sounds familiar!

    Done the matched bet yet Jet :whistle:Well done on the avon and selling profits :beer:

    No, wasn't me, I've still not managed to get back on there yet - they still keep locking me out :mad: !!! Got an email this morning saying I've been unlocked (again) but I'll try it when I'm a bit more awake - worked an extra shift last night and am going back to bed soon!

    I did get a grand total of £1.74 in tips though!! (Does it show how tight people are when that little money came from 6 people?!!) Still, I'm grateful for anything I can add to my total!

    Nice to see your total looking so good after the bingo Rachelja - if it ever lets me on there I'll keep my eyes open for when they do it again!

    Right. Going back to bed...

    Well done Jet! You're right -we all seem to have had a great start...hope we can all keep it going!

    I've had a think about what else I can do, and we have a load of scrap metal waiting to go to the scrappy. Might have to borrow a car with a towbar from someone so I can get rid of it. There's loads there, so might get a fair bit of cash. Although it'll be hard to squeeze in with all the overtime I'm doing too (so many ways to make money...so little time!)

    Good luck for week 5 everyone!

    OK ... so still no matched bet but .... have sold another £40 worth of unsold ebay stuff at work and made £110 through Avon Sales :D

    I've also photographed 9 more things to list on ebay and will try to find time to list them tonight.

    Well done Jet :beer: So what is your total now, I think you might be winning with all those Avon sales lol

    How's everyone else doing? I've been a bit distracted so not done much recently. Will have to get started again. :rolleyes:

    Edit to update totals - £714.80!

    Got a cheque through the post yesterday - I cashed in my Premium Bonds. It was only a fiver, but it was my fiver, and now I've got it back!!:D

    Not much else happening here - just trying to dream up ways to get rich!!

    Wow rachelja - think we'll have to double the target for you :D WELL DONE!!!!

    My total is currently £358.79 - MBing is put on hold until next Tues/Wed ... yeah I know I'm dragging my feet but life just keeps getting in the way

    I've got some ebay stuff up at the mo and am going to see how that goes.

    Minniepoos - any luck with the scrap metal yet?

    EDIT: I've just worked out that I'm 35% of the way to the final total :D
