    Hi all

    It has been hard going for me over the last couple of weeks.

    Tried matched betting (even investing some money not generated by the challenge) and my grand total is still at a humble £66.47.

    SoS

    PS: can I just say.... I have not seen as many cats pictures on any other threads as on this one :rolleyes:
    There's at least four cats on this thread, all of which look adorable :)

    You are past the target for tomorrow which is really good :T

    Right, finally get around to updating sig. This week I've have made £120.47, of which £112.02 came from matched betting, £5.70 from ibootsale & £2.75 from GreenMetropolis. So basically, without the matched betting I'd have still been crawling towards the £128 target but now I'm well on for the next one of £256.

    Nothing from my freeads due to them leaving off my phone number! Now if I'd paid for that I'd be annoyed ... but I didn't so I'm not. As long as they don't do it again this week ... I might start drumming my fingers on the mousepad & going "tsk" :)

    And tomorrow is ebay cheap day that I've been saving a couple of bits for - chipping a bit more into the pot hopefully.

    Happy Days!:)

    okay.. i haven't been on this side of mse for ages and kinda glad i did now..

    this post is so interesting, took me in straight away.. just haven't got time to read all 104 pages of it..

    anyways, firstly, well done on how far you've got so far and all the best in the future.. to the op, you deserve a medal !!

    right i'm going to attempt this but might run into some problems straight away..

    I'm sure i can come up with the starting £1 (big high street under my flat if nothing else) but then not sure where i would go from there.. i was declared br in march and discharged in sept (or was it oct), so i haven't got a card that i can used to put things on ebay or bet with.. and then haven't really got anything i can sell locally.. so where do i go from here ?

    all ideas appreciated..

    Firstly you can open a ebay and paypal account and I'm sure you don't need a card for either as my paypal just took bank details, look into it as that could start you off if you have stuff to sell. Another thing is you could do a carboot sale.

  • i'm almost certain that paypal don't need a card details

    Ebay I almost certain you don't need one too
