    Of course you can go over your target, the challenge is to make £1,024 in 11 weeks so if you do it beforehand then fantastic. The same can be said if you are lagging behind a bit (say by week 3 you are still only on a pound) it doesn't mean you have failed, you just need to try something else.

    Also if you manage to make a pound and then try and gamble it but lose it, you can start again by trying to get another pound.

    Hope that all makes sense :D

    So in theory, if you are trying to double your money, what happens if you lose it? Say you put all your profits so far into match betting, then lose, what then? Game over, or you start again from that point?

    Hmm, I've been scouring the freebie forum to try and find something for free that I could sell.

    If you see someone searching the streets of Portsmouth tomorrow for some money that has been dropped on the floor then it's me ;)

    Anyone had any more ideas?

    You start again but obviously you will have to find another £1 from nothing to start off with :D

    Right - I'm off the mark :j :D

    I've just got a £10 free bonus from the FHM gaming site (see the gambling forum). I didn't have to deposit any money and I just bet £5 on red and £5 on black on the roulette game and obviously bet and won my £10 in one go. This enabled me to request the £10 as a withdrawal and a cheque will be with me within 4 working days :D

    When I have banked the cheque and it has cleared, I will find a way to try and make something from that £10.

    Hmm, maybe I can find some more free cash out there ;)

    This sounds like a great idea emily, I like it! :j

    Can I join, pretty please?!

    I've done the free £10 thing you mentioned so that's a good start :T Not sure what I can do with that... I'll wait and see what inspiration hits me! I have already done most signups etc through quidco but I will check if there are any I've missed!!

    Of course you can join :D - good luck :T

    I think with my free £10 I'm going to have a look round the local charity shops to see if there's something good I can flog on Ebay.
