  • Please can I join as well? This is a really good idea - I've just withdrawn £15 from my betfair account, (from pigsback - all clickthroughs and sign-ups), into my bank accounts so I'm off!

    What's the score with the betfair thing? You register with them, get the voucher thru PB, then withdraw it in cash to your account?

    Hi everyone

    I've got a load of items finishing on Ebay today and there are quite a few items that were prizes or presents. Do you all reckon that I could count those towards my total on this challenge even though I listed them last week?

    The rules on page 1 don't say, all its says with regards to ebay is that the items must have been acquired at no cost

    I'd include them cos you sold them since starting the challenge

    but can someone give some clarification eg if the item was free 10 years ago and you sold it on ebay this week would that count as the item was free or does the free stuff have to be acquired since the start of the challenge

    As long as they didn't cost you anything then yes of course!!

    BTW won another £25 at bingo last night but that wasn't from my initial stake - I decided to keep playing from my £11 win. So I'm still up - aiming for a couple of hundred so we (me and hubby) have something big to play the doggie's with when it comes to doubling £500)
    LOng term am aiming to do carboot next weekend

    I think that anything that you have ever received for free can count, I just didn't know what people thought about adding stuff that I listed before the challenge began?

    (I know I made the rules up in the first place but just wanted to see what people thought about this one :o ).

    How much are you up to now then Annie?

    I should get quite a boost this evening when my items sell then :D - might be able to get some wholesale stuff sooner than I thought ;)
