That is my thinking too, it will pay off maybe half of my HBOS card so that is a huge incentive to make it happen hehe will be listing a few things on ebay tonight to make my first £1. :j

Hi

You have to try and create the first pound out of nothing. This could be by finding it in the street, selling something that didn't cost you anything (a present, prize, freebie etc) or something else.

Oh, right. I get it. Does it count if I 'find' a £1 coin in my BF's pocket and declare it my own?! (only kidding) I will give this a go, not sure if I'll get up to the very large amounts but if I manage even a little it will help towards replacing my savings... I'm in.

Targets
£1 - 04/01/09
£2 - 11/01/09
£4 - 18/01/09
£8 - 25/01/09
£16 - 01/02/09
£32 - 08/02/09
£64 - 15/02/09
£128 - 22/02/09
£256 - 01/03/09
£512 - 08/03/09
£1024 - 15/03/09

Well, we'll see how it goes :rolleyes:

Yay, I have 10p already! Was looking at which bingo sites did free scratchcards and found that one I was already a member of (but don't use) did. I checked my account, had a random 1p in there so could play scratchcard. 10p up already. Actually, the 1p is what was left of free bonus money. Can I count that too?

Morning all

I'm off the mark as Asda refunded me for the freeview box that I got for Christmas so I now have £17 to play with .

Not sure what to do with it. I might have a look around some charity shops, Gumtree and Ebay for some local bargains that I might be able to make money from.

I've slept since then!! :rotfl: - umm, I think I got to a couple of hundred but really can't remember unfortunately. I remember that there were a few people that did manage to make the £1,024 though so I know it is possible and am determined to prove it this time .

I've not joined but I'm still thinking about it - was lying in bed last night thinking that I could do lots of reserve and collect orders at argos then return the items to get the £1 cashbacks that they pay. Probably more hassle than it's worth though, and would cost more in petrol than I'd be earning.

I've still got my challenge spreadsheet for the last one I made £501.71:j - I also had to bail out of the challenge a couple of weeks early due to personal circumstances which I was gutted about.

I don't know about these £1 cashbacks Are they for any item you return? I've got a very local argos :D

I've just photographed anything I can lay my hands on in the house that I didnt pay for to ebay :cool:
