    Ooh, can I join in too please? Not sure if I'll be any good, but it will motivate me to actually try and get my headaround matched betting! With the £1 to start though - if I use a £1 money off coupon for something I was going to buy anyway (like my lunch!) can I put the £1 I saved there as my starting point?

    I would love to have a go at this, it gives me something pro-active to do

    Just need to find my first £1 now
  • Hi can I join in too. A great idea. I need £917 asap to pay off one of my credit cards before the 0% interest finishes in December. Don't worry though I will use the other £100ish on my O/D. Little one just off to nursery for a couple of hours so time to find something for ebay. I am going to do this, I am, I am, positive thoughts.

  • i'd love to join in too but can't get an account with fhm (they want me to verify my address by sending proof etc so i told them where to stick it as dont have time to faf getting that and i wasted 30 mins of my life trying to register:mad: :mad: :mad: and *******breathe*********)

    anyway - i'm up for joining. i sold a book on ebay yesterday for £4.99 that i found in a skip for free on sunday. can that count as my starter?

  • I'm going to join in this challenge! I will have made my first pound by Monday, I have managed to take on some private pupils for music lessons, so that's £16 straight off!

    I also have some books that I can put on amazon & some tin whistles I can put on ebay. Great start!

    Strange, they never asked for anything like that from me :confused:

    Have played my £5 on black, £5 on red and won the £10 :T So I've requested it be transferred to my account - great stuff for such a little bit of work :T :D

    Books found in skips sounds good to me! :T :T :T Why don't we have any of those round here?! :rolleyes: :rotfl:

    So, are we putting this challenge in our sigs and making it official then?!?!
