    I suppose who can make £250 the quickest to pay off their debt - doesn't really matter where it comes from. i.e. if it comes out your monthly budget, you've obviously had to cut back somewhere to make savings!

    I'm about to go count up our spare change jar and I'm about to start listing ebay - just ransacked the loft lol

    DEBT FREE for the first time in 10 years and with savings!

    1st Baby due May 2011 :o it's a BOY:j
  • Hiya!

    I just signed up for whiskas kitten pack and Cahoot savings account via quidco which should make £27.33, however this isn't tracking yet so Im not going to update it! Im going to do a penny search too! Also did some searches which should get me 18p (insert rolling smiley!![why don't they work today])!!!

    Im gutted that I can't do ebay at the moment (I have never done this before) because my camera is with a repairer.

    What is matched betting?

    Oh so when my RPoints get confirmed I can include that!

    Matched betting? Oh god i'm dying and trying so hard to get the hang of it. There's a million threads on it. essentially you bet as a bookmaker and a better and either way you end up with profit (I think)

    Hi Pania, fine by me also but we'll keep this to the five of us. Everyone, How about we keep the £250 to extra money only.......i.e. ebay, quidco, car boot, etc etc?
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J
