    Ebay's been really slow - it is frustrating spending ages writing descriptions, packing, going to the PO etc for a few pence profit. So I decided today to have a go at matched betting.....
    It really works - I now have £50 tracked in Quidco and £24.13 profit from the free bet - for a couple of minutes effort! :T :T Am going to take it slowly so I don't mess up but I think this is a great way to make guaranteed money!

    Badly! Is the answer Kev!

    I've had a weekend with the boyf so spent a bit of dosh.
    So so far I've got the £36!
    I feel really slow.
    I've got a few probs with selling on ebay because my USB ports dont work so can only really sell things that dont need a photo.
    However am thinking I will list the rest of my dvd box sets. If I can get the same amount as the last one, that'll help quite a bit!

    But tomorrow my purchases arrive for selling on ebay, so I'm really hoping that will help a fair bit!

    Am resigned to being in last place and not even making a slight dent in the challenge amount!
