  • Hi everyone, this week, I've now got enough to buy my first pigs back voucher. So that was an extra £7.50 as I think in one of my first weeks I'd put down the first £2.50 into my totals, so this will buy a Boots voucher. I also got a Tesco saving stamps card worth £50 which my mum and dad give me every year. Dont know if that counts, but I really appreciate it. So that would be £57.50 this week, with a little cheat from my folks.

    I still havent tried matched betting, but will. Keep going everyone x

  • Welcome on board Jamiedodger :j

    I forgot about pigsback - I joined around the start of this challenge so I think I will add it into my totals this week as I think I will be struggling again :rolleyes: got £8.90 so far and have a little piggy 50 point bet on for Brendan to leave Come Dancing tonight :D fingers crossed

    I signed up for a couple of Mystery Shopper agencies last night so will see on Monday if I have been accepted.

    I have also got back into matched betting so a few pennies to come from there this week ( if I dont make anymore mistakes :eek: )

    Good luck with the challenge everybody :)

    I'd like to join this as I'm doing it anyway! Do you only count money you actually have? Most of what's in my sig isn't in my hands yet!

  • Welcome aboard Sammz :T

    I have been counting my Quidco and Topcashback in as it would really get confusing at my end with different totals for matched betting, at the start I wasnt going to but soon realised that I would get into a mess if I didnt :p

    The weeks run from Friday to Thursday - post your totals on a Thursday night and see how everybody is doing, we are in week 5 now but it doesnt matter when you start. Any more money making ideas are welcome :D

    Good luck to the newbies :j

    edit - sorry but you cant include money that you have already made - just the totals per week of extra money that you have made :)

  • Oooh is it too late to join? I'd love to do this..would be a great spur. I currently have stuff listed on eBay (from the last week) - would it count? Hasn't sold yet.
  • welcome Chubacheroo - just add up your totals for money from anything from a Friday to a Thursday, put your totals on here on a Thursday night so we can see how everybody is getting on. I think you will be ok to include money made this week on ebay items just finishing.

    I have £12.84 to come from ebay this week less postage costs from an item I sold last week but the buyer only paid this week so I didnt include it last week. I have just ordered a £10 boots voucher from pigsback too. Been doing some matched betting so have about £40 so far this week and another free £25 bet to place tonight. Got 9 scarves finished so far, I was going to make 10 but hopefully will have about 15 finished to sell on the 5th December - should make £2.00 per scarf.

    It is a 15p listing day tomorrow on ebay so I am going to re list the 2 items that didnt sell last time and try to find another few things to sell too.

    Havent heard back yet from the mystery shopping agencies that I signed up to last Friday so fingers crossed I will hear back from them today.

    Good luck with the challenge everybody :j

  • Hi oops a daisy, I didnt realise it was a 15p listing day tomorrow, might list a few things myself on ebay. Got loads of clothes, shoes, kids trainers and jackets, winter gear etc. So hopefully will sell some. I was going to try and get into the habbit of selling a few bits and bobs each week, must get going. Hope everyone is well x
