    Hi Everybody,
    Great thread and I feel really encouraged by everyone's ideas.
    For the first time --after talking about it for so long I listed some things on EBAY I have put on about 14 DVD's we no longer watch and started with low prices. It will just get me started. i HAVE ABOUT 5 PEOPLE WATCHING ALREADY! I have loads more stuff to put on but I don't have time to set it up with all THE detailS. I will have to make time.
    Waiting for a cheque for husband TAX rebate for £150 and will add that to my pot. So far I have taken back goods amounting to £24 also, got a coupon from Tesco £10 off my next shop if I do it online. Also got an unexpected gift £10 voucher for M and S. Plus also if I shop 3 times in a month I get back 1000 points on my Loyalty card. I am looking into sending off two old phones to either get some money or more Tesco Points. I use my points each year to paty towards our summer holiday. This year I had £720 off our holiday in the summer to Corfu.
    When the Car Boots start up again --my sister and I are going to do one together to raise some cash.
    So £384 towards £11,000!
    Also found cheaper Building and contents insurance will save us about £150 in total.
    Also Buying Sun every day to save tokens for holiday in April I hope!

    Well back to reality today as i was up at my usual 6 oclock for going back to work after 2 and a half weeks holiday! Away to advertise my "winter car" in the local scot ads...hopefully get in for at least this Saturdays edition. The money from that will be going into this challenge so hopefully that should see me up over £1,000 straight away. Almost at £500 so my mini target of £1,000 for the 14th of Febuary is looking very achievable. Need to find ways to make a bit in the evenings...
    Work in progress...Update coming July 2012.

    I use Topcashback for risk free bingo. There's a few bingo sites where you get more cashback than your minimum stake - try Vernons for a start. I like that one as I had a £65 win on there on Saturday!!

    Hi Pink Mummy

    I am using costabingo and citybingo, both have free games but you do have to deposit something before you can withdraw, what I did was wait until I was nearing payout then deposit £10 and withdrew it with the rest of my money straight away, PM me your email address if you want me to refer you.

    As for survey sites, I do pinecone and also pure profile, used to do yougov but took me 2 years to get to £50 and be able to get a cheque!

    A good couple of days!!

    Bingo winnings of just over £65 on Saturday and a win on football betting of just under £7.

    Today - £47.67 came in from Topcashback and £28 from mystery shopping. Woop. :j

    I added 43 things to eBay during the free listing period, but most are CD singles so I doubt they'll sell. I've got £15 worth of bids on other items though. Oh, and I'm up to a huge 22p on Ciao! :rotfl:

    Is anyone here in London and have experience of car boots or NCT sales?
  • Hi Scorgeous.

    Most of those sites give you a cooling off period. Phone them ASAP and tell them you want the gold back as you have made a mistake.

    Hope all works out well.

  • well hello my money making friends!

    OH came home to a hallway full of selection boxes and wasnt happy until i told him they were 10p but i think im still in trouble...! Ive applied for a few full time jobs, we can just about manage on the incoming wages atm so the theory is we can save my full time wage and that will help us to hit the target and get our dream house :D

    Im hoping to try some of the free bingo sites mentioned on here,thanks for the ideas! keep them coming!
    ;)

    Well today i've not felt well. I also went to ASDA and ended up spending £55 but it should see me through a few weeks. A friend who owes me £75 is giving me the money tomorrow so that'll go straight off my debts and will get rid of 1 of them!!!!! My mini challenge was pay off my laptop £199 and smaller o/d £66 by 14 Jan. I will have paid off laptop by tomorrow and only owe £19 on my o/d tomorrow when I get this money!!! I am sooooo chuffed! THis challenge has really got my focussed and thinking.
    I must decide what my next mini challenge will be because it's really helped me pay stuff off! And it's only the second night. x
