  • This match betting diary thread is an interesting read -

    £10k in a year. :T :T
  • I aren't even off the starting block yet - waiting for free sims to arrive to sell. I couldn't sign up to fhm without proof of id.

    I'm sure I've got some unwanted presents I can sell on. That will be my task for the weekend - searching through the cupboards for something to sell.
  • friend gave me a cordeless phone with built in answerphone which are going on ebay for over £20 so will list that tomorrow

    will need to route around for more stuff though

    the FHM freebie thing allowed me to play one game of roulette with my tenner and won a tenner, so thats another £10 for spending nothing
    Debt of £6300 cleared in 5 years, now ZERO

    That £20 will be a good start to your fund! :T

    Did you join fhm recently? Cos unfortunately they will probably send you an email rejecting your withdrawal request, even though the system accepts it at first. It will let you play roulette... but this doesn't count as 'wagering' it (due to updated t&c) :(

    Hope you are lucky though and this is not the case for you!!!

    Yep! Sneakily changed the t&c, presumably when they were flooded with applications after the offer went out in Martin's tip email!!

    If you do get the email it will advise you that you need to play it through on other games... roulette and a few others not included. I tried and failed but I guess it didn't cost me anything! :rolleyes:

    Deedee - when I try and reply to your PM my pc freezes and shuts down - think its dying (this has happened several times before) does anyone know if it's best to get a new mother board for existing hard drive or to get a new hardrive? I can't live without a pc when I've just joined this challenge and am getting in to matched betting (which I've been meaning to do for months)

    Anyway what you'd put sounded completely right to me :T - but I'm no expert. Luv Jxxxx

  • jpet77 have you tried reinstalling your pc?

    a friend (the kind one who gave me the phone) told me you should reinstall it every six months

    Please can I join? I've only just signed up to this site.

    I've got £2.80 in Pigsback, am I allowed to 'pretend' that I've made that so far, and spend that much of my own money and refund myself in ten days when I can get rewards from pigsback?

    Also, I've got a book that I want to sell on ebay. I bought a book for my reading group ages ago and the cheapest one I could find came as a job lot with another one, as I had to get the first one anyway can I count the second one as a freeby and sell that for the challenge?
