Hi everyone

I have just listed 10 items on Ebay that didn't cost me a thing and they all finish on Sunday so I will hopefully be able to get my plan of action going by then. If they all average out at a fiver each then I will be pleased .

Hi everyone! Had a good day today, a relative gave me £200 xmas present and as it was money from nothing I paid £140 straight off credit card (sob!) as that is what I intend to do with any money I make. If I make the target it should pay off half cc. :T
I used £10 as stake for the Sunbingo - if you join through wepromiseto they give you £20 cashback. There is a big thread about it on the gambling loopholes board. Anyway, they double your stake - I met the wagering requirements (playing wholeymoley -sp?) and came out with £22.30 so that should be £32.30 profit with cashback!
Also signed up to littlewoods bingo to get daily free scratch cards, though not sure how many sites let you do this cause the thread was massive and I ran out of time! I have been sat here for 2 hours playing that silly wholeymoley game, though smashing out moles brains has quite good sound effects :rotfl:

I have always used Quidco or Rpoints Abby. I find Rpoints more reliable, but you do need to claim the higher cashback using the HCP on their website.
I signed up to wepromiseto today but only just done my first transaction so can't say how reliable they are.

I love this challenge :j

A few days ago I wasn't taking any steps to making extra money and just settling for trying to not spend as much on my shopping .... now I feel like Sir Alan Sugar lol

3 things of mine are selling on ebay - only for 99p each but still 5 days to go

I've started putting together my translation advert and some additional text.

To-do Tomorrow
- I'm going to dig out the bumph I've still got from when I was SE 5/6 years ago and get a couple of quotes from past customers.
- start quidco'ing
- sort washing out :rolleyes: - might not make me any money but at least it'll make me feel better

I'd really like to join this challenge this sounds perfect for me

I'm always finding free money (got two teenage boys who think leaving pennies lying around cos it's not 'cool' to have them is fine), i put them in a tin and currenlty have £12.17 in there, so, can I (am I allowed to use that)?

"well done Laura, wow that is great cashback from TCB! I have never used them before do you mind me asking if they have a high cashout limit?" quoted rachelja (sorry new to this and dont know how to do quotes yet!!!)


With regards to Top Cash back and payouts, It depends weather you set up to recieve a cheque or money to your paypal account. if its to your paypal account then the minimum is a penny!!! if you choose to recieve a cheque then you have to wait for £25 to accumulate. Top Cashback has some really good offers and a few daily clicks to do - i recommend them to anyone - if any one wants a referral just pm me!!

Think this challenge is an excellent idea, but im already doing a couple of other challenges so will have to give it a miss this time. Good Luck everyone taking part though!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR :beer:

I've got 3 bank accounts that are never used so I thought I would use one for the challenge money and found:

£5.93, £4.78 and £24.08 in 3 unused accounts = £34.79
also found 6p found on street when walking dog this morning and have got 94p from quidco clicks so Total is .... £35.79 :j:cool:

When banks open tomorrow I'm going to go in and transfer/pay in money all to 1 account

Re the TCB thing:

The advantage of TCB over Quidco (apart from no £5 fee!) is that they let you choose when you wish to withdraw the money, the only restriction is that you have to wait 14 days between cashouts. The best way of doing it is by BACS - give them your bank account details and it pays directly in for you. As far as I know there's no minimum (if there is, it's very low, a couple of quid maybe)

The only snag - as is the same with all cashback websites - is that you have to wait for the money to become payable. Initially it tracks, then is confirmed, then is received by TCB from the retailer that offered it in the first place. Only then can you withdraw it. This often takes as much as 4 months. I don't know how that works with this challenge - can you count money pending in your TCB account? I suppose as long as you've got £1024 in your hand on the last day of the challenge and haven't spent your own cash it doesn't matter?

TCB also give topups - a few extra percent on top of the cashback you're expecting if you do a lot with them. They also have more retailers/deals available as they use more affiliate schemes than Quidco. I use them far more than Quidco, but it's worth checking both sites as they often have very different deals.
