Good evening, welcome D+D, I have now added your name. I work fulltime, so am not always on the boards, although I do try to have stuff running in the background, as I have several challenges on the go.
Most of the info is already explained in earlier posts and all are linked to post number 1, where the list of challengers is. It's alphabetical, so just check under 'D'.
The challenge is about doing whatever you can to earn extra cash over and above any regular income you have. You budget on your regular income and use anything extra to help pay off debts etc. As long as it's legal, it's welcome as an income generator.
Personally, I am rubbish at this challenge. My only extra, so far, has been £10 from Butl!ns Bingo free scratchcards.Maybe I'll be lucky with the premium bonds soon.
Well done with all the eBay sales, guys! :T:jI reserve the right not to spend.

Hi skint,
yes that's correct. You don't have to use it though and you can withdraw it after you've done your first scratchcard. It's important to have at least 10p in your account at all times.

Woo hoo - after I joined Jackpot Joy the other day to get my £10 bonus after depositing £10and £25 cashback through quidco (£25 I included in this task) I have just played £3.00 worth of games and have won £75.93:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j0

That's BRILLIANT Lola, well done, your luck must have been in - withdraw all original cash plus profits and don't be tempted to play away those winnings.
Double freebie scratchcards on Butl!nsB!ngo today and it looks like an extra £1 bonus. $unB!ngo also offering free bingo in the evenings. Might be worth a try.
If you sign up for anything, remember to go via cashback sites where available and withdraw your own cash as soon as possible to avoid the risk of losing it. Read terms and conditions to ensure you qualify for the free bonuses first, though. Same with credit card sign ups and cash back - the AmEx one only pays out the 5% cashback after a full year, you lose it if you cancel the card within that time.I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.

Slowly getting started, £4 from sales of surplus freerange eggs - better than nothing.
Signature updated.
