    Thanks to everyone for your suggestions so far. Finding this harder than I thought. I need to come up with another 71 ideas by midnight.

    I got some Jackpotjoy freebie vouchers to use today (starting from 20th Sept) so that may help with that one a bit :T.

    Ok, I have reached 50 on my list but only by duplicating some of the higher earning ideas. I would really like to have 100 unique ideas if I can but I don't think that will be possible.

    Any other ideas out there?

  • Happy new diary Emily :D

    Can't help you with ideas but I do think its fab. There is one thing on your list but I don't know if it appeals/if you can do it alongside AQA so I will pm you as it could offend. Good luck with it all though and if I think of anything I will be back :A

    It's the store and website where you can exchange games, DVDs, electronics etc for cash. Not really sure where I will find £375 worth to exchange yet but I'm sure I will get there :D.

    Morning all

    It's the start of my challenge today and I had a rubbish night. Was up coughing and coughing and coughing...... - maybe I could invent a cough mixture that actually works and then I would make the whole £37,500 in one go :rotfl:.

    Didn't manage to come up with the other 49 ideas for the list. I'm sure I will think of some more over the course of the day but I think 51 is enough to be getting on with.

    My mum gave me some DVDs to get rid of (not very good ones though) which are worth £1.20 on Music Magpie which is a start. Might see if I have anything else around to bump that up a bit.

    Off to see what I can get achieved today. Be back later.

    My list is going the wrong way!! Had to remove one of the ideas - TMF offers. I looked at the current offers available and they are all way more expensive than I would have originally paid so, whilst they are great as freebies, I can't really say that I would have spent that much on them anyway so can't really add it to this challenge (IYSWIM).

    Getting sick to death of this cough. It's a horrible tickly one and any time I eat something, it sets it off! Off to my mum's in a bit to raid her Nurofen stash.
