    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. :o Maybe I'll be lucky with the premium bonds soon.

    Well done with all the eBay sales, guys! :T:j

    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.

    HTH
    DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!
    Proud to have dealt with my debts!

    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.

    £15 received from Quidco this month, had forgotten about it so that's a bonus!

    Sold another few things on Ebay but haven't received the cash yet so won't add that on until I do.
