    I'd love to join in although I'm somewhat confused about how to do this... I know you can get the free clicks and free quidco bits but that won't clear in time, and from my rummage around the house I can't see anything that I personally didn't buy that I want to part with! Not good! Just wondering how you keep making the profit??

    Hi, welcome to the challenge :D. In the early stages, I am going to hunt around in a few charity shops when I have some money built up. I have found some great bargains in them sometimes and sold them on Ebay for a tidy profit. Also, carboots would be a great place to start.

    In the later stages, you could try matched betting, buying something doing it up and selling it on for a profit etc. If you have time try reading through the previous threads as they are full of ideas.

    Also, try looking through the freebie forum to see if there is something you can send for to start you off.

    Good luck :D

    Hi everyone

    I am up and running, I've just received £3 in my Paypal account from a Pinecone survey and found 5p in the carpark today.

    I have loaded the £3 on my Paypal card and will just take £3 cash from a bill I was going to pay so that I have got the money in my hand straight away. I'm not sure what I am going to do with this yet, I need to get thinking of something soon though as I want to get ahead early on.

    I hope that nobody minds me posting this here. I just find it useful to get it all down in writing and I hope that others will like some of my ideas and try them for themselves.
