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.
That's a good idea! I'm going to a car boot sale on sunday so you never know! Someone started a christmas challenge a bit like this but it hasn't really got started... I like this cold hard cash version better! :T
I think there's probably quite a lot of money to be made if only we pool our thoughts and make the time for it.
Slight cheat....do you think I could use part of my £10 to pay ebay selling fees, postage etc, to sell something... shall we say.... more valuable.....? :rotfl:
I shall have a good think and see what I can come up with!! We should have our progress in our sigs.... if yours is not getting too full emily with all these challenges!!!!

Lynz x:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -
A car boot would be good, try a bit of haggling to get a bargain
Thanks Lynz - if this is successful then I will probably do it again after Xmas - you could join in then if you wanted to?
I think I'll decide what to do with my £10 when I've got the cash in my hand. In the meantime I'm going to look for other ways to make some more free cash so that I've got a bit more together to try and buy something and resell it.0 -
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?Happy chappy0

I'm going to follow this thread with interest - I'd love to join you, but I am a chicken and don't think that I could do it:o, so would rather watch and learn a little from everybody else's experiences, than try and then discourage myself by failing!:p
I wish you all luck - I really hope that you all do it!!!:T(I'm going to be watching carefully to pick up a few tips!);)

OK, i meant if you gamble and lose, or say put something on ebay and earn fack all etc?"I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something."0

Yes, don't bother mug gambling, it's a waste of time. There are proper methods for extracting free money though, and they aren't the cack peddled out there "to beat the system", they just involve simple methods to turn free money offers into real money. Check the gamling loopholes forum for info.Happy chappy0

Hmmmm, how about raffling the boyfriend for the evening, he really is lovely and buys me chocolate and flowers. I'd be willing to give him up for one whole evening if the price is right, any takers?? :beer:

Hmm, I think it would be ok to put your fee towards it but not the money you would have to spend out on the pizza as this is your own money. So if you get a £5.00 fee then that would be fine.
Great idea to raffle off your boyfriend TBD, not sure he would be too please though
