    An unexpected £3k payrise, congratulations!!!! Especially in this economic environment.
    I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

    ohh fantastic win! well done you!! :T:T:T

    btw they've been allowing withdrawals of £20 for the past few days.

    Edit: note to self - learn to type faster.


    Thanks.
    Yes they returned it to £20 just after I'd given up and played through the £25 I had in there. Taken me till now to get a win of £20 or more that I could withdraw as each time I won £10/15 I was not allowed to deposit to withdraw so had to play it through.
    Anyway its sorted now - :T

  • Not much progress here, I'm currently waiting for an Ebay lot to end, I'm high bidder so far with a couple of hours to go. It's a job lot of a collectable item a colleague used to deal in and she has offered to run an experienced eye over them if I win and possibly put me in touch with specialist dealers she knows, so hopefully I can turn a profit.

    I have been meaning to list an item myself but someone put out a wanted ad on Netmums yesterday for the same thing, I'm waiting for a reply now, as it's a local buyer it'll save messing about with postage and save on Ebay fees.

    I've been trawling charity shops etc but the pickings are really thin, hopefully they'll pick up soon.
  • Hi

    I am new to this website and can’t believe I’ve never visited the website before.

    Can I be added to this challenge, I realise I’m a couple of weeks late, but I’ve still got another 50 weeks to go.

    Good luck to everyone
