    I seem to remember someone on this thread really researched whether matched betting would count as gambling, and conflict with Quaker principles. They did a lot of digging and decided that it would. I really really respect anyone who maintains their principles like this! :T

    Finally debt free: This is a link to completed cross stitch listings on ebay http://search-completed.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&catref=C5&saaff=afdefault&sacur=0&fcl=3&saslt=2&frpp=50&from=R10&saslop=1&fss=0&satitle=cross+stitched&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D3&sadis=200&fpos=B36+9NA&fis=2&ga10244=10425&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D2&fgtp= it doesn't look like they are going for all that much (all the ones in red didn't sell at all).

    I'm really struggling to think of ideas - but atleast I'm thinking I suppose....

    Jobbing musician - I too respect the principals, however, without matched betting my total would only be 81.82 so I'm afraid I'm counting it!!

    Hi

    I did post the reason earlier but with hundreds of postings it would be hard to locate

    I have an addictive personality (a thousand quid worth of my debt was racked up in three months with alcohol:eek: ), so its safer for my bank balance not to put any card details into any site
    Debt of £6300 cleared in 5 years, now ZERO

    Didn't do too well on eBay this week, the stuff I had on there didn't sell as well as I thought it would... but every little helps! I have been more successful with match betting and already have £31 in the pot with another £34.80 in betfair to use on my next round of bets, so I've only added the £31 to my total even though the betfair amount is also profit. :D

    Have some more things to put on eBay which I'll do during the week, had a busy weekend and could do with a rest.

    Well done everyone else... :T
