count me in to, im starting with £30 from xmas, just sent off a pack to recycle my phone so thats a bit extra, doing the usual cashback from NOTW and sometimes quidco, got alot of things to sell on ebay and other places, would like to make £1000:beer:2017 Debt - £14.5k
2018 Debt - £11K0 -
CrazyTrikerChick - My first aim is to pay off the credit card from alternative income (ebaying/bingo-ing etc).
The overdraft i want to get payed off from a second job, when thats done, wages from that go into the credit card pay off fund.
After that its the car loan.
my usual wages will only be used for bills, food and fuel.
So Car boot pitches, initial investment all that comes out of my £100
All in its a little under 10k, but i need to be a realist, and account for things like MOT, new tyres, moving flat deposit, renting/borrowing a van.. and all those other silly little costs that appear throughout the year.
(moving to a shared house in march.. should reduce my rent/bills by about a third)
Maybe someone should start a Bingo UK thread? Seems to be the game of the moment!
also, be a bit wary of ebay wholesale/job lots.. think about why they're selling as a job lot, and not 1 by 1, like us savvy lot would do. might be better looking at the likes of bigoffer.co.ukCredit card: [STRIKE]£2533.30[/STRIKE] £0 as of July '16!Overdraft: [STRIKE]£1700[/STRIKE]£0 as of July '16!Aim:Save for a working trip to New Zealand leaving late 2016/ early 2017!0 -

yep some days I did that. If I won on the first game then I would deposit to then withdraw, play another game with the bonus money. If I won again I would just log out and come back in 24 hours. My remainder bonus money was always left there as well as the further day's £5.0 -
Just found this thread from a comment made elsewhere on the board. Interesting idea and one I'm going to consider starting in the next couple of days.
For those looking for free bingo type deals, a site I use had a couple of bingo and no deposit type promos online today at http://www.oddspreview.com/category/Online-Casino/Blackjack--Claim-30-free-and-play-with-no-deposit-required-200912240010/0 -
I think I may join this thread/challenge. 10k would cover my credit card and loan debt easily!!!
I am currently an Usborne organiser and have been since Aug but Im thinking of quitting, so i have more time for dedicating to this challenge! I have around 1k RRP stock in books so that is a great start! I wont start selling them til around Feb though and obv not for RRP but still to make profit.
My mum is gonna clear out her loft and there are loads of my old toys up there so will look into selling those too, along with all my books i have (hundreds!)
Also have quite a bit of stuff to put on ebay. In 2010 I also want to make/sell more crafty things and baked goodies.
Good luck everyone

Well I won £10 on BingoBritain today, deposited £10 and withdrew £20! Played the rest of my bonus and now that has gone until tomorrow. I also won £4 on a pot of gold scratchcard I was given for Xmas; so now I'm £9 up. I already do the daily scratchcard on littlewoods and am looking at Virgin for some more. I've listed a couple of bits on eBay and joined slicethepie :j
When I walked the dogs earlier, I took some photos of Bassenthwaite lake in the snow. Having looked at them, there are a couple which would look good on a Christmas card. I originally thought that I could get some printed up for me and OH to use next year, then I wondered if I could get some more made up and sell them???? My SIL is a printer, which could bring the cost down
I'll keep trying to come up with more ideas 'cos I really could do with the money.
Good luck everyone and remember it's not 'I can't' it's 'How can I?'.

Any help would really be apprieciated, Thanks

just trawl through diff catagories or go to the wholesale and joblot and then go to the bar where it says sort by, and hten pick the distance nearest first, and it will list things nearest to you first..
also dont forget to go through your cashback sites like quidco for hte easy money ones like this one on quidco
50p just for joining the coke zone, where you can get codes and win prizes etc..... need to use the coke zone again.....lol..
