    Hi All,

    Hope everyone is well and making money..

    I have had only £0.30 today from Bingo... I am going to list some stuff on EBay this weekend so hopefully there will be few more bucks.

    Have booked 3 Mystery shops in the first week of August so another £15 from that but I am not counting them, till I receive them in my bank account

    Hi guys,

    I'm doing ok so far, got £2 in the total, but have loads of bits on ebay finishing tomorrow. Also almost up to my payouts on the free scratchcards so that will help bump it up a bit.

    So slow start but lots of room for potential! :rotfl:

    I think someone asked about the free scratchcards, there is a big thread dedicated to them, but essentially there are some bingo sites where you can play a free scratchcard and win money (around 5p-£500 per day - although average I find is 10p-25p) and once you reach £10 you can withdraw it (although you have to leave some money in the account - even if 10p to be eligible for the free scratchcards).

    Hope this helps! x

    Well i am off to a good start:D. i have 5 items ending on ebay later and 4 have bids on so hopefully some money going into the pot:j. i have listed 15 books on greenmetropolis but i have never used it before so i'll just see what happens there.

    i have done 3 mystery shops so another £30:j.

    I am just about to put in a mileage claim at work. can i count this as extra income as its not a standard part of my wage?

    Keep up the good effort everyone :D

    Save £1000 in 100 days 20th july - 22 oct - so far 25.00
  • Thanks all. I am not doing too bad actually. I have sold a couple of things on ebay and yesterday won £50 so it looks good to start with. I think all may start to dwindle now in comparison!! I am going to sign up to some survey groups and also check out this scratchy thing too.
    Thanks :)

    Hello everyone, I'm still not off the starting blocks but I have updated the challenger list, so everyone should be included now. Well done to all who are already earning their extra and, as long as it really is extra, it can be counted. :)

    Free scratchies are getting scarcer by the day but I did manage a small win on free bingo when my Internet connection stayed online long enough to run it in the background.

    Aberdeen is a great place, Emmajayne, I lived about 45 miles north of there for a while and loved it. Half the family is still up there. :)

    I've yet to get off the mark on this but I have listed some stuff on Ebay today so fingers crossed for those.

    I've also got a coppers/small change jar that I will count later although I don't think there is very much in there!
