good luck pickle welcome aboard

poppycracker

well done everyone who seems to be coming on in leaps and bounds! and welcome pickle, good luck with the first ebay auctions, it's quite addictive!

I'm plodding along, think I'm going to make about £15 on ebay this week, plus yesterday, I got a tenner off a neighbour for doing some ironing for her! I didn't ask her for it, she just gave it to me . Plus OH has his regular cleaning gig at £10 so I'll get to the bronze target this week!

I really need to get into Matched betting, I'm running out of things to ebay and with my job (on call 24/7), I can't take another job.... registered with mystery shopping but so far, haven't managed to nab a job....got a prize one but then realised my brother works for them so didn't get it .

Never mind, that's my moan over for the day. Good luck everyone.

Hi WoA - def do a monthly newsletter, if you can - focus on being a pilot!

I am slowly getting close to halfway now on Bronze, very excited. Still not sure on whether to include my Pigsback vouchers, so have decided not to. Only pure cash.

REMINDER: If anyone wants my debt reduction planner, please PM me your e-mail address. It could fit in very well with this challenge and feedback from users so far is great!

WoA - do you think you could host this spreadsheet on your webspace? I don't know how else to get it to people apart from e-mailing each time. Rex_Mundi hosts my Budget Spreadsheet (see sig) but he seems to be very busy at the mo...

Im away from the computer for 2 days and Im amazed at how much Ive just had to catch up with! also the amount of emails Ive had to get through, mostly from mutual points and 15 junk emails! finally sorted through it all though!

quidco have paid me £1.58 although it should have been more, I had a few that should have been paid from hmv but there have been problems apparently, hopefully that will come next month!

Ill add the same as everyone else woa, dont worry about the newsletter, you come first!

Also somebody mentioned about a weekly round up of everyones total, I dont mind doing it if there are no other takers. would only be able to do it on a sunday and would have to publish the totals on here on a sunday eve.

well done everyone you are all doing so well x

oh panty poo. My ebay parcel has been delivered and the bag has been broken/split and I KNOW they'll say it's because the packaging wasn't up to the job (would have been if it obviously hadn't been rough handled). SO I've got to relist it as a poorer item on ebay and refund the buyer her money. Feeling a bit down about the challenge today, which is odd as been so hyper about it til now! Running out of really good things to ebay too. Am working another supply day tomorrow and two next week for the challenge though.

£90 to add today from various sources:

£38.50 from matched betting
£13.55 ebay after postage etc
£13.55 from quidco
£25 from not having a cleaner any more

Still waiting about £80 for an ebay item but seems that cheque is lost in the post so will have to wait for a new one. In correspondence with the buyer though so hopefully all will be well.

Right, have to update sig and balance to -£180. Have refunded buyer. Plus lost £15 in postage as well.


On the brighter side I sold a book on Amazon and have 2 things selling on Ebay

Will def be reading the matched betting thread again!!

I just took the plunge and sorted out my car insurance through quidco - got £130 cashback! I nearly fell over!! It'll be going straight to the challenge though - still can't quite believe that I got my car insurance for 100 quid, amazing :j

Not used it before though, can anyone tell me how long it takes to appear on the user page and roughly how long it takes for the refund to come through please? Cheers!

Just when I was pulling my hair out - OH just rang - refund from MFI is £315!!We thought this money was lost and gone forever due to a series of mistakes by MFI (never going there again, just dreadful experience). Hurray -
Going straight to the Olympic Challenge!
So total is about to be updated in the sig!
