Forgot to mention I got paid for a mystery shop today (£15). I also just ordered some vitamin E cream from Body Shop, I love it but normally its too expensive (£8.80 for a small tub), but with quidco and discount codes I got 2 tubs for £8.50 delivered :T

Injections all worn off now, could do with an early night tonight though so may head off soon

£1.27 tracked for the body shop stuff on quidco, bringing the price down even more
I do feel awake this morning for the first time in ages which is a bonus too 
Nothing new in the banking, a free £1 on the scrathcards and double scratches on the butlins bingo
So 10p, 10p and 25p today. Mortgage Total: £50,550/ £75,000

BB I have just started match betting, I seem to be getting the hang of it, but it does seem to get confusing with all these accounts, does it get any easier? I have made about £42 this week, do you keep all your accounts open, and do you get more offers from the bookmakers?Make £10 a day challenge - January 2023 = £292.89/£310 - Feb 2023 = £677.09/280 - March 2023 = £102.45/£310 - April = £300.12/300 - May 2023 = £306.80/£310 - June = £245.88/£150 - July = £295.45/£310 - August 2023 £51.56/£3100

Not a bad night so far here, a friend helped me make £22 from a casino reload offer which has arrived in my account
I managed to fix my Aunts email stuff out, no idea how but I did !!
For anyone who's interested theres a great thread on the food/shopping board about tesco orders. If you haven't ordered from them before, or if you have a new email address and register
(googlemail let you have one), you can get £10 from quidco/topcashback and theres also a £10 off code. If you order loads of bogof stuff you get £50 shopping for approx a tenner :T I just did my order, I ordered various bits to put away for xmas (celebrations / hereos, chocy coins, those big drums of cheesy balls etc :eek:
), and also topped it up with other stuff I need for now. I didn't only do bogofs, so in total I should get £70 of stuff for £38 with another £10 to come from topcashback :beer: Well worth it if you want to stock up early for some xmas bits and pieces. Mortgage Total: £50,550/ £75,000

Morning
I need to phone up about a mystery shop I'm supposed to be doing tonight, it is to watch trailers for a film but when I checked the website there isnt a film showing tonight (local cinema/theatre place), they've got a local theatre company there instead 
I've done the banking (nothing new), scratches (10p and 10p) and a survey that should get me £4 later in the week
Off now to get Mums birthday present, then seeing my brother and niece, home for the tesco stuff to be delivered and a matched bet to place, then maybe back to mums later today
Have a good one everyone

Welshsaver, I'm so sorry, I only just saw your post from yesterday

Yes I do keep all my accouns open (but withdraw the balances
), and yes I do get offers from quite a lot of them. Some don't send offers, some offers aren't worth doing (not risk-free), but some are fab
I do have an address book which I list the bookies that I've done in and the username / password for them as I'd never remember them otherwise
Good luck with it, remember to check the referrals board / quidco etc for extra money to be made from any of them, and double-check on the questions thread on the giol board if you're not sure, but its a great way to make some extra money

My Tesco order just arrived, no substitues at all so £38 in total, another £10 to come from topcashback, and £60+ of shopping :T The only problem was the choc coins didn't arrive but are on the list. I dont want to phone up as they may see its not my first delivery and I have benefitted from lots of discounts on the order, so dont want to flag it ip, will just have to go without the coins for now :rolleyes:

I'm sorting out various bits online at the moment but then I need to get on with housework and that includes sorting out a box to start putting bits in for xmas, starting with several goodies that came today
I've spent an hour going through my inbox, why dont I do it daily?? Anyway, have attempted all the surveys, managed to claim a £5 voucher from one survey site :j Nice empty inbox now which is nice too.Mortgage Total: £50,550/ £75,000
