    But if you are going to add your own money - only do so with what you can afford to lose....

    Hopefully nobody has done that though, that is certainly not what this thread is about!

    OOh no - I only ever deposit my own money when the cashback from Greasypalm or quidco is at least £1 more - that way I always win. :D

    Have just made use of a credit card offer and stoozed rather a large amount.....I've now got 5 months to make it work for me before I have to pay the original amount back.....this is one way of paying for that George Michael ticket!

    Well...I just played through my free £5 with NOTW......well...sort of. Twice their servers "hung" and my ticket purchases failed - but they still took the money from my balance!! Beware any of you who are actually playing with real money and not the freebie!

    Oh and I didn't win.....no surprise as I never do.

    Next idea.....

    Are any of you using the Pigsback-Betfair way of getting free money? I've banked a free £45 so far over a few months.

    Also how about using Swapits codes to get sim cards/computer games etc on there then selling them on ebay? The swapits codes are free on here.

    - And how about looking for catalogue stores with no min spend codes then selling the goods on ebay (eg for a long while Empire Stores had a £20 off no min spend code - I got a digital camera totally free :D )

    If you can copywrite/code websites/do graphic design you can do a little extra work on https://www.rentacoder.com and get paid in Paypal :)

    And if you have a website why not put some Google ads on it for a few extra pounds a month?

    (Can't think of any more. Loving this thread!)

    hi.. just another thought...as you are all mentioning charity shops....

    i picked up a an old nike shellsuit jacket for 50p on their bargin rail... it is now at £25.

    so dont forget to have a look at the clothes as well......

    especially branded sports wear.....

    also someone today told me they sell macdonald happy meal toys on ebay.... i know there are collectable ones....

    and these are tech... free...... so if you got any lying round you could put a few in bundle and try selling them.....

    also money off vouchers that you can pick up for free....people buy them as well..

    hope these ideas are helping....

    if not.... christmas is coming.... so you could practice singing you carols:cool:
