Hi everyone, I've made £10.30 from Quidco this week. Thats it for the week I'm afraid but its better than nothing, so I'm chuffed. x

oops_a_daisy

Well done everybody :T

so my totals are........

Week 1 £32.50 - sale of mobile
Week 2 £234.34 - sale of mobile, matched betting, bingo bonuses & Quidco
Week 3 £95.01 - Matched betting

total so far - £361.85

next week is going to be a very low one as I am away for most of it although I have 5 items finishing on ebay and over 50 books on Green Metropolis so fingers crossed

Good luck everybody with the challenge :T

ps I have just found out that I have overpaid my electric by £139.00 :rolleyes: but I cant add that to my total - pity am going to see what the situation is with my gas and if there is any money left over its going off my c/card to go towards my other challenge, to be debt free by Christmas

Hi everyone - you are all doing so well - I've got loads of catching up to do - still in holiday mode at the moment though!

sorry to hear about your cat Alicatt - I hope puss is much better soon x

have tried to update the totals - hope I've got it accurately. Haven't been adding in the odd bits people are making as I'm assuming you sassy moneysavers will be posting weekly total?

oops a daisy - I have a marginally higher total for you than you have = £32.67 + £234.34 = £267.01 is this right?

Hi there PP and welcome back - hope you had a lovely time. My week 1 total was incorrect, it should have been £32.50. Sorry if it messes up your spreadsheet well Im off to bed too, I seem to get later and later on here every night :rolleyes:

Another little money making idea to add to the pot A friend of my Mums is doing a craft fair on 5th December and she has asked us if we can make some stuff to sell. So I have got some wool, 49p per ball from Home Bargains and I am knitting scarves like mad. It takes 2 balls of wool for a scarf so that is 98p cost per scarf and I am going to sell them for £3.00, so the profit will be £2.02 per scarf and I am hoping to have at least 10 made by 5th December. I am also going to try to make some nice Christmas cards out of the card making stuff that I already have so will not be able to take the costs out of any sales on that one.


How is everybody else doing ?

Monring Everyone,
Hope everyone is doing well. I havnt had time for a proper read of the thread this week as its manic at work (um, not that i usually log on to mse at work obviously)

I have my totals as at now. Is that right or should i take off the first weeks etc? Anyway these are my cummulative totals
£56.77 quidco - run out of ideas here unless i get my head around matvched betting
£5.60 pigsback (but also got £20 in evans/burtns vouchers from previous clicks)
£51.06 - sold a load of china that i paid a fiver for a car boot sale
£17.50 amazon - sold old book & cd
£101.00 mystery dining - got another two bookings aswell at £30 a time.
£32.50i points ( estiamte based on approx value of point)
£6.50 you gov but some clicks may have been before the date.
Total £270.43. Gobsmacked!!
Mission for the coming week is to be a little more creative in my money making ideas.
I was wondering about hiring out evening dresses since everyone seems to be selling them and not getting much for them. Something to think about...

Bookies offer free bets which if you just bet the free bet you either win or lose - by matching the free bet with another bet you can 'withdraw' most of the free bet without losing. You need to read up on it on the stickies on the matched betting threads and it takes a lot to get your head around it ( took me months then I suddenly clicked ) but you can always ask questions on the newbie thread on matched betting and somebody will always answer you. They dont tend to like it if you open a new thread on there for advice though
Have read up on it and see if anything 'clicks'

Hi Everyone :hello:

I've finally got my head around matched betting and signed up to Quidco. :j
I'm looking to do my first bets today (since I'm grounded with sick DS - loss of exam revenue here :mad: ). Got some Ebay revenue to add - last cash payment tonight and don't want to count my chickens.:rolleyes: so will post the sum later.
