    seems like bingo britain has really got wise to us. I've won £10 and £5 today. Have £15 cash balance, played my bonus. They won't let me withdraw (minimum is now £50 ) and they won't let me add funds (says my balance exceeds the balance at which a deposit can be made):mad:

    What a shame they've tightened the loophole, although can't say it's a real surprise. Thankfully, I've made a couple of withdrawals so I'm up on the deal by about £60.

    Wow this thread moves so fast! Cant believe that BB was mentioned only a few days ago and they have already changed the rules :( shame on them! I won about £20 and put in a withdrawal request but my account screen keeps changing and tbh now i dont even know if they have honoured the withdrawal request or not :(

    Oh well.

    On the other hand - how amazing that we have 50 pages of posts! Here's hoping everyone starts of 2010 with positivity and success.. Happy New Year one and all and make sure you kick my butt every now and again :)

  • I'm still wavering about joining, as I'm not convinced I can make a massive 10 grand! Nor did I have any ideas about how to go about trying to reach the target. However, I was at an exhibition yesterday, and it's given me some inspiration. What does everyone think about this?

    The exhibition showed artwork made from recycled materials. Very MSE, although the prices were three or four figures :eek:. So, it got me thinking, there are loads of materials to be found on the streets for free - maybe I should have a go at unearthing my hidden artistic talents! I'm under no illusion that I could charge 100s for my work, but there is a monthly art flea market that I could aim to start selling at in a few months.

    Other ideas - doing Avon, and tarot/psychic readings by email.

    Please encourage me - I'm very good at talking myself out of things and not having faith in my abilities ...

  • Can I join too please! I've just read this whole thread from start to finish (quite a feat!) and am truly inspired by all the positivity!
    I'm going to aim for the whole 10k and got off to a brilliant start yesterday with a free casino bonus of £50 which I managed to turn into £463! Couldnt believe it! Withdrew it pronto of course. Have tonight tried the BB..deposited £10 and played it all through, including the match bonus of £10, but didnt win anything...hoping that they honour the £5 per day offer, they do seem to be a bit wise to all the new sign-ups from MSE i think :)

    Aiming on making the majority of my £10,000 through buying at the local auction/car boots and selling on Ebay.
    Did a whole summer of car boots this year with items from my home, and a few bits and pieces picked up cheaply at the auction and from the local recycling shop (great place to get bargains if you have one in your area!) and made a conservative profit.
    The best profit however was on Ebay..I bought 30 spice jars at the auction here in MK for £10.00 and sold them to an American collector for £400!! So I know that little by little, the target is achievable! Just got to get motivated for those cold, wintery mornings freezing my butt off at the local boot sales! hehe!

    Thanks to Bingo (OP) who started this great thread..and a Happy and Prosperous New Year to all fellow challengees! 2010 is going to be a great year!
