Desperate+Depressed, if in any doubt, use the search box at top right and change 'Main Site' to forums and you'll find all the information you require. I just tried a search for 'free scratchcards' and found this link that may help you but there are thousands more. Set aside some time for some in depth research and you'll be amazed at what you can find in the MSE forums.

I've added the latest names, thanks for joining us. As per post one, all extra money counts once you have confirmed that it's yours. No point counting chickens before eggs hatch

Tirlittan, don't despair, I have never succeeded in my own challenge yet and this is the 4th £1000 in 100 days I've run here on MSE

I'm up to £196.56 for my total - mainly ebay, greenmetropolis and mazuma although I'm running out of things to sell! Uh-oh! x

I know the feeling sold Cds to music magpie and old phone to mazuma mobile though it was that old I only got £1 for it:p Might have to raid the kids bedrooms:D

Finally off the mark £6 cashback from rpoints

Have £65 waiting in quidco but don't know when that will come through

Had a few ebay sales yesterday and today. Just remembered to look and take off the ebay charges from my totals and the paypal commission but getting there. Sold another couple of books on amazon too. So far I am at £356.47 and waiting on more payments for ebay things and scouring the house for more things to list ..... enjoying the challenge :T

Just need more hours in the day to checkout these free scratchcards and clicks....

Thanks - there was ebay, amazon, compensation from the PO, an pet insurance payout, sold some of my baby newts (strange I know but they (the adults) had been breeding) and also won a competition. I think thats about all but just trying to stay focussed and pick up on any other ideas. Its also difficult checking I take off the listing fees, final value fees and paypal commission and postage before working out what Ive really made - I had missed a couple early on so my overall total went down briefly....

Its amazing what you can find about the house to sell.....:j

Hi natsing,

First of all well done so far!

How do you work out the different challenges, e.g. grocery and weekly spend?

Also, are the scratch cards you are doing free, and what are the daily clicks?

Sorry for all the questions, but I'm new to all of this.

Thanks Kerry

Hi D+D
I like to keep to budgets so the weekly amd monthly spend challenges help me do this, ther weekly one is on DFW so come over and check us out, the GC is over in Old Style, and they keep me focussed on not overspending! I'm rubbish at daily clicks, I get bored to quick, its a cash back option on some sites where if you follow the link and do a search you can earn 1- 7p a go, but its a lot of work, may try again next week, scratchies are fun and today I won a quid on a freebie, so total up to £35.30
