    this is the problem cos he doesnt go on here an just listens to me talking to anyone and everyone about it all the time he just thinks its gambling

    Yep I think a few of people have had this with their partners, and who can blame them - we're told to spot a scam by thinking "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is" .. matched betting is the first thing I've ever found that seems too good to be true, but is actually true :)

    :question: I'm still wondering what the free £400 is about (she said, diffidently but with *lots* of interest)....

    I haven't been well enough to do anything with the challenge for a couple of weeks, but Sammz post has prompted me to get into action. :beer:
    I have listed a couple of things on ebay. So hopefully my total will start to rise.
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D
  • Another £3 to add to my total from Amazon
    £23 from Ebay and
    £52 from the Bingomania link that Southerscouser posted. I'm not going to add that to my total until it's in my account, I'm still not sure it's real!

    Off to list more stuff on Ebay, don't forget it's 5p listing for CDs and DVDs this weekend.

    Have a good weekend all :-)
    Bank charges refund £158
    Total debts [strike]£3772[/strike]
    Debt free (except for mortgage) for since 2008 thanks to this site :D

    Is it too late for me to join? I'm new and just found the thread but really want to go for bronze :embarasse

    This is the day I'm going to start saving properly - it feels great!!!

    Would someone mind telling me about Quidco? Do you pay for the products up front then get cashback later (so need lots of available funds to begin with?)?

    Thanks

    Hi smilealot and welcome to the challenge :T

    The way quidco works is that whenever you buy something online, instead of going straight to the website directly, you would go into quidco and go through their link to that website and you will then get a bonus amount or percentage of how much you spend. You don't need money in your quidco account you will still pay for things as usual through the original website but you just use quidco to get you there.

    There are ways to get free money too, by clicking on links and getting 10p per click and also no purchase money like signing up for newsletters can get you between 20p to £1, you can also make money from buying things like car/home/travel insurance and you will get big bonuses for these, and you can make money from bingo and betting sites too. Be careful though because sometimes quidco doesn't track. I hope that helps but it seems as clear as mud!

    Well I've not had a good week, just sold 2 books on Amazon and that's it. Will try listing some more stuff on ebay tomorrow but could really do with getting a well paid focus group/market research job next week.
