  • Next cunning plan to be mortgage free.

    Opened an hsbc current advance account £50 through top cashback and also £40 if i switch an old account with a direct debit, i have an old account with lloyds so will switch over. I like this account because i can chuck all my old coppers into the automatic sorting machine that credits my account. No more bagging and tagging those pennies for me :-)

    Part B Foxy bingo giving £53.50 cashback with 110% cash back offer, they match first bet and free £20 on bingo. Gambled money on roulette had a £38 return, no winnings on bingo. so ended up with 53.50 & 38 = 91.50- 50 stake = 41.50 profit from half an hours work if only i was paid £83 an hour i wouldn'y have a mortgage. anyone else have any other money making schemes? :-)

    Total today once cashback paid is £91.50

    All sounds like it is going in the right direction, and I'm sure like me, you'll find a dairy is great to provide motivation and to maintain your commitments once they have been "publicly declared" here.

    Best wishes with the plans
  • cheers stu and set me free.

    To quote jerry maguire 'show me the money' :-)
