thanks elly, will try and stick with it!

its just i dont even seem to have enough money to pay the bills atm and feel i am not making any money

if i spend £30 for the month on food for 5 of us the bills will get paid iyswim but my ds plays golf for england and i have been looking at trying to get sponsors for him as we need money to cover that too....and not got a bean, although I am now getting something towards travel expenses which i didnt last year but they are being swallowed up too

i will stick with it

i have got a £35 from MS
and will start listing on ebay again
I have had a grant cheque but that got eaten up and some expenses but likewise gone too

am going to do another budget but i dont see where i can make any cutbacks

keep going guys

wilf have you tried getting your local paper to do an article about him looking for a sponsor ??
or contacting sportswear shop managers that are local to you to see if they have any money /equipment/sportswear that he could get photgraphed in ect
you have probably tried all that but only ideas i can think of

I am going to start free bingo tomorrow, when i get paid and have money for the first deposit! Then see where i go from there. On the other hand i am currently on 3.65 on loose change I have found LOL.

Hello, I've just come across this thread. My boyfriend proposed last Friday and in the short amount of time I've had to myself since then I have discovered weddings are an expensive business and right now I'm not sure I can afford the registrar.

Any hints and tips I can get to make some extra cash will be gratefully received!!!

Congratulations!!!

If you've got a little money to start with (I started with £100), then matched betting is worth a punt. Make sure you read through and understand all the details before betting though.

Other quickish options include things like the free bingo that people have played here (I've still not got round to it - have Sunday to myself though, may play then).

thanks elly

locally he is in the paper every other week as the local journalist
a) loves him
b) is a member of the same club

so every time he has no news so to speak he is in the paper
we havent done it however from an angle to raise funds

i have tried local golf companies and although 1 at least will give him a discount on clothes i havent any money to buy him clothes!

with regard to equipement he is sponsored by one of the big names in golf and gets whatever he needs from them dont know what we would do without them tbh

since he got in the england squad his coach now sponsors him for lessons

the things i need money for are generally travel and accomodation, entry fees and practice rounds, golf club subscriptions etc

on average it costs with the above expenses £500 per comp on a big budget, me and dad not eating much etc etc!
he is expected to do around 9 comps in the year, perhaps odd ones more

he is so remarkably good i would do without virtually anything so long as he wants to pursue his golf

but having been in bad debt a few years ago dont want to go back there but feel i am struggling to keep my head above water

have had an idea that i wont publish til i have thought it through which will get the oh involved too which i am hoping will make small change so to speak compared to some of you but if it does stop me from sinking then so be it!

keep going all:money::money::money:

Hi Wilf, playing golf for england is a great success, but please be aware carrying a sponsor, will breach amatuer status rules. By this I mean a sponsor that pays youto promote or use their equipment or clothing

Hey guys,

Been looking at the boards for a while but sort of got dragged in by Matched Betting and ended up on this thread. If anyone has any tips, other than those in the main threads, I'd be really greatful.

I understand how it works but don't know how to get the right matches without spending all day looking.... Or is that the point?

Really surprised at how many ways there are to earn a little extra cash and look forward to starting Matched Betting when I get paid.

Not really been a saver before but seen as we're about to complete on our First house, I thought why not, every little helps!!

Might take me a while to catch up on all 133 pages on posts but Thanks, and I look forward to at least trying to get to £11,000
