    FHM have rejected my withdrawal request.... seems they've changed the t&c so that roulette doesn't count when playing through your winnings :mad: Marting seems to think its because so many people on mse signed up after it was in the tip... well done emily for getting in there before the rush :T

    I'm now off to see how much of that £10 I can extract by playing other games... I can see my total going down! :eek:

    Had a browse of charity shops but nothing much really :(

    Its a good point about the doubling of large amounts though... will have to get thinking!!

    Oh no, the spoilsports :mad: - I requested my withdrawal via cheque so I don't know if that had anything to do with the fact that I received mine.

    I don't hold out much hope for the charity shops near me either but I'm going to go into Eastleigh on Saturday as my boyfriend lives there - it is like charity shop heaven!!

    Good luck with playing through that £10 - I hope you win more than that :D

    Hello. Just quick update. The book I got from Mango for free and listed on Amazon this morning already sold for £5.53 so after postage I'll have £4. I've used sample packaging i received some time ago. I'm very pleased with myself. Its not as much as some of you may have but enough for me to stay motivated.

    This my and DH debts together. Correct as of 30/03/14.

  • Hi Guys
    Right well I still have £11.21 and nothing to add today although I was given 10 or so free books today which have been listed on amazon so hopefully a sale will come soon. I am racking my brains for ways of increasing my money. Could we start a list of possible ways so others can try them out.
    My thoughts are - selling free books on amazon
    - selling stuff on ebay (obviously they have
    to be free to start with like the HOTY show tickets)
    - betting
    - car boots selling free stuff or stuff not paid for (unused
    gifts etc)

    So has anyone else made anymore progess this evening?

    I've been trying to win some money from a few bingo websites. I registered with some to get some freebie money to play with but didn't manage to get anything so far. Might try a couple more though :D
  • Just sold one of the free books I was given today - sold for 8.45 but after p&p i will only make 3.73 but hey thats 3.73 more than I had this morning

    Arrggghh! The opposite of progress here! :mad:

    Don't worry... I haven't lost all my credit in FHM... cos I haven't been able to log on to play :rolleyes:

    Feeling a bit dispirited now, £1024 is a lot of money you know!! But anything I can make will be a bonus I guess. Seems like no car booting for me at the weekend either :( And I have no idea how to make money when we're getting to the larger amounts :o :eek:

    Sorry to moan... will be more positive I promise! :T

    If you have a spare minute... could you send good vibes to the FHM software to make it work for me, I'm impatient to be doing something! Perhaps I'll try on my dad's computer......

    Hello luvly peeps,

    I haven't actually made any more than in last post but have been very proactive so far this eve. I have joined amazon, rpoints, quidco and betfair. I have also read as much as I can possibly read about matched betting and have written myself out a 2 page step by step plan.

    Tomorrow I'm going to have a look in charity shops, sort out kids clothes that I've been given that are still in good nick and can go on ebay, read Martins tips on cash back w/sites and read matched betting thread for w/end tips.

    Lots to be getting on with!!

    Am just going to check FHM again coz managed to set up account last night but can't log in to site.

    Luv Jxxxxx
