    i do have some money its just that as this bill was unexpected i have not budgeted for it and i will be in my overdraft again at the end of the month which i have spent the past year working myself out of, does that make sense? I would really like to do something to offset some of it so that i dont start going down a slippery path. also i have read matched betting over and over and i'm not confident enough to try it. thanks for your comment

    Angelic84, the quickest way of raising till weekend is sell unwanted stuff on places like Cash Converters (i hate them but hey), car boot, etc. Matched betting may look complicated but read it once, twice, 3 times. It's not hard once you do one. If you sign with Betfair, Coral, BetChronicle and a couple more, you can make £100.

    thanks for your post Tinuel. i am just a bit sceptical when it comes to things like this, although i know there are plenty of people making good cash from it. have you done it personally, how much did you start with and how much do you make roughly? would it be a better idea if my boyfriend and me did it together? he is good with maths, i on the other hand am rubbish. :o

    i agree about quick selling - stuff like cash converters are worth a look but you get bottom rate for anything you sell. good luck. x

    Be careful of scams also. Very little time to get £100 by end of week and this rules out surveys/daily clicks

    thanks for your help. really i am able to pay this off now but would like to recoup the money by the end of the month - (24th NOV) as this is when i will get paid again and i just dont want to be in my overdraft as i worked so hard to get out of it, so i guess make £100 by the 24th Nov would have been better for me to ask for so any ideas at all would be most welcome. thank agains to everyone that takes the time to help me and others

  • Avon maybe? No set up costs - £7.50 deducted from your first two campaigns to cover your books, which are free for those campaigns. Time a bit tight but now's the right time to start i.e. in time for Christmas (and you could save by getting your own toiletries, etc. cheaper)

    Good luck.
    Make the most of everything in life (especially Avon ;))

    Don't be, it works, I am one of the newbies to MB. Have not made much yet, as I only did a week of it, about £100. You can start with £50. It's not risk-free but if you do things well, it works. No need to be good at maths, trust me. The calculators on the MB forum do the calculations for you. Also, some bookies do not allow more than one account per household, give it a go.

    Sometime ago someone here at MSE, sent me a straight forward guide to MB. Not sure if I still have it, but PM me your email address. If I find it, I will forward it to you.
