    For the squad, it is "return acceptance slip, with cheque for £495 plus postdated cheques by 18th November - one for £300 dated 4th December, one for £200 dated 8th January"

    easy :rotfl:

    and I have two to send :rotfl::rotfl:

    Now, if everyone would just stay away from the jackpot games on bingo please, let me win just one or two of the biggies, and if Mr Branson would allow me the big prize on the scratchcard this week......then I'll be ok!

    Right missy, I feel it is my duty to give you a shove each time I do a matched bet offer, it is easy money and you know what you're doing with it, so if you don't mind a virtual prod every now and then hopefully that will help you on your way ;):p

    My word..... that figure of mine of £2k caused a few raised eyebrows! Hypno's list was pretty much mine - free bingo, matched betting, amazon sales, mystery shopping, scratchcards, Quidco, YouGov (that took me about 2 years of surveys, I'm not kidding). But it was only part of the story - that didn't include reduced bills from branding downwards, or from going on a water meter, or switching gas and elec, or giving up satellite tv, or booking train fares well ahead instead of a few weeks ahead, or surveys where you get vouchers not money, or freebie items like the yogurt tasting I did. All sorts of things.

    I will spend the next few days brainstorming.....hoping that bingo is good to me, and pushing myself to list whatever is not nailed down on ebay and amazon.....

    One thing that is certain is that I WILL get the money - how, I am not yet sure, but I WILL get it.

    Thats the Hypno we know and love!

    Benben..... please do it on the diary, not by pm! I too know how to matched bet, but seem to let it slip through my fingers. Twould be muchly appreciated.

    Yes, I will admit that had I not already booked my week away, it would very definitely have been a "nice idea but......."

    As it is, it is SUCH a shame that I can't cancel and get a refund :rolleyes:
