DontDoDebtKids wrote:Morning all,
Time for the first full week of our challenge! This is going to be a long slog, but I've made a really good dent in my totals (well, psychologically) as I'm standing at:
Debt Totals
Egg: £6659.42
Capital One: £2906.42
Lloyds: £1946.28
Amex: £5987.88
Total: £17,500.00
I've got just under £150 coming in from ebay sales in the last week and I've got a massive 25 items listed on ebay at the moment.
Last week's plans
1. List as much as I can on ebay this Thursday to take advantage of a 5p listing day
DONE - 25 items listed
2. Do daily searches (carsource, kelkoo & highstreetweb) on quidco
MOSTLY DONE(tracking went wrong, honest) so earned 94p
3. Do at least one matched bet
NOT DONE :mad:
Plans for this week
1. Do daily searches (carsource, kelkoo & highstreetweb) on quidco
2. Do at least three matched bets (two for this week plus the one I didn't do last week)
One query. A stupid one at that. BUt what do you mean Do daily searches (carsource, kelkoo & highstreetweb) on quidco???
I know what they are but what do you search for?
Good luck everyone with this challenge0 -
The daily searches on Kelkoo can be for anything you would search for to buy, I've been looking for Lost season 1, I also searched for that on the High Street Web, at the car source you can just search for new and used cars, you have to click on the websites for the Kelkoo and High Street Web searches and then you get paid...
I hope thats of some help, seemed to come out as a bit of a garbled mess...VIRGIN CC [STRIKE] £648.87[/STRIKE]PAID OFF 08-09-09 :j
