Hi All
Fishface - hope you are feeling better - I must go to the dentist - I have a couple of chipped teeth, but am not even brave enough to make an appointment.
Anyway- on a money making front
the 2 vouchers I had listed on ebay have not sold - so I may just spend them instead (£5 off in boots) not sure why mine didn't sell as others were - but I am new to ebay.
matched betting- made some money - but computer has crashed so am not sure how much. We have had to buy a new hard drive
but I do have a mystery shop for the weekend so that will be another £10
On the betting front please do be careful. I am happy to try and help with matched betting - or use the matched betting section of the forum. However the bingo and casino sites need caution - the money is not guarenteed and often you have to deposit more to get the cash out

Hopefully next week will be better as I will have more time
Hope all goes well with the tooth extraction Fishface - I had an abcess once - awful - give me childbirth anyday
Good luck everybody with the make money from anything challenge :j:cool: Official DFW Nerd Club Member #37 Debt free Feb 07 :cool:0 -
Am I too late to join in with this.
I have some stuff to list on Ebay tomorrow and maybe I will be lucky with the sales of that. I don't agree with gambling so matched betting is out and I have no credit cards so can't buy on line to get money back. I do the opinion bar but don't get asked very often and when I do I seem not to fall into the category they want and I get 10p for my effort.
I have tried to get mystery shopping but no luck so far. I have only registered with one company and they contacted me a lot over the summer but I could not do anything. Now I could they have only given me one chance and no docs turned up so I assume that they had someone else.
I will try and make £50 in November from Ebay and if I think of another way to make money I will include this too. May do a carboot as our school is having one in November - hopefully inside.

Please can I join. I've been given a silvercross coach built pram and with a bit of a clean up I think I can ebay it. I'm also clearing the house like mad prior to selling and so have loads of stuff to ebay.
Great challenge.0 -
I ebayed a clock last week and really have to get back into ebaying more often, I have planty of stuff to get rid of.
I have had an odd way of earning money, well gettign a discount anyway. I go to a Yoga school and they asked some of us to go in for a photo shoot and as a result I can either choose free lessons or a discount on my pass. The 'price' I had to pay was getting my hair and makeup done and sitting in a yoga studio for a few hours eating cashew nuts and chocolate and doing yoga whilst getting sprayed with water to make it look like I was sweating. you may see my a** on a billboard soon LOL
Last week I also decluttered an office, cleaned, ironed, and chased debts for someone
So, the good old fashioned barter is still alive and well, in fact I have worked with another local company on an exchange of services basis rather than cash changing hands.Member no.1 of the 'I'm not in a clique' group :rotfl:
I have done reading too!

Thanks for your total oops a daisy - I think you have done better than me!!
Have added all the 'newbies' on so will be expecting figures from you by midnight tomorrow0 -
hi Miss penny Pincher
Adjusted my figures to only count money made since Saturday.
matched betting profits 109.89
cashback sites 60.00
pigsback voucher 10.00
total 179.89
Hope everyone has had a good week.
Just sorted out some books to list on amazon so may have some luck with those.Not tried e bay yet but don't have a clue what would sell. Got a bunch of beatrix potter figurines and brambly hedge figurines but would imagine e bay is swamped with stuff like that.
