    Wow - look at your total Debs - over 2k in less than 4 months!!!!

    I'm going to examin my bank account and see whether I will be able to place a couple of matched bets tonight without risking going over my overdraft limit.

    I'm also going to see if I can get on to ebay from work to advertise my french (still haven't done it!!)

    I was at college last night and have got an exam on 16/05 so have got to knuckle down and concentrate on that a bit too!!

    Hope every1 has a gr8 day. Luv Jxx

    i know jet its quite amazing

    have made some serious moves with moving bills etc and cutting back on wasteful money like that moving from wanadoo to free sky broadband saving £17.99 month claimed back wrongful charges on phone bills claiming compensation on anything im not happy will especially bills talk talk seem to knock of £20 every time i have an issue with them reduce mobile phone contract which 02 then paid of as i was apparently missold it amazon and ebay totals surveys looking for discounts on anything and everything i buy quidco for all my insurance couple of wins with free money on bingo obviously claiming cashback too

    next challenge going to take time to look at matched betting

    the most scary thing is im not sure where all the money has gone although have bought a couple of big things washing machine microwave etc

    still need to shut up shop on the bank of mum though!! which i suspect is where much of my spare cash goes

    good luck guys

    I transferred £4 from Lightspeed to my paypal account, then found out the account I already had was the wrong email address, so had to create a new one. Did that without any problems, but now I need to have *£6* in the account to be able to withdraw money. The initial credit emails from paypal said the money would be taken away if I didn't claim it.... can they take it away now I've claimed it? Does anybody know? It'll take a while to build up the lightspeed credits to get £6.... this is so silly!

    Thx Debs - you reminded me that TalkTalk promised me a £20 refund because of all the grief I had getting connected to them but it never materialised - so I will chase that.

    I also have got to query a debit to the Carphone Warehouse for £56 which should have been £30!!!

    Hi all,

    Not been updating recently due to personal difficulties but am trying to get everything sorted so due to a mamouth ebay session last week, and using turbolister (if anyone saw the code on ebay last week 49 of the items were mine!! :) ) and have had a resonable amount of success but it's beginning to do my head in so might have a rest from ebay for a while.
    Total, including Ebay, a few amazon sales and the original total is £1566.01!! Very pleased how it's going as I thought it'd be less than this and never would have dreamed that this would be possible!

    Well postal order was waiting for me when I got home so cashed that today and finally posted ebay sale from nearly 2 weeks ago (got £5.69 which I'm pleased with for what it was).

    Paid ebay fees and my paypal is at £49.92 now - argh so close to withdrawing - hope the things I have on ebay finishing this weekend pay by paypal then can pay any fees on there then and withdraw the money and transfer 'profit' into 'money I've made' account.

    Bad news is I've had an email to say I failed the AQA test :mad: so that's another money making avenue closed for now...
