    Hey everyone good luck :beer: We are going to be spending the next 6 months together...it's a bit crazy when you think how long this challenge is - 6 months, maybe that's why I am going for gold because it just seems like such a long time, is it really £16 a day we have to make on gold or (gulp) is that bronze?

    I started matched betting for the first time this week and my qualifying bet ended friday, i didn't lose the money which is great, that means I did understand it - woohoo! My actual free money bet ends today so I won't actually make any money until the match finishes later, then when it does I am on my way.

    I got 10 free books from work that I will be listing on amazon later (or tomorrow). I do have some things to ebay but having problem with my account at the moment so might have to wait a couple of weeks for that.

    Oh yeah, someone asked about free clicks...Topcashback are great for that, I do a lot of free clicks on there.

    Oh yeah have a couple of presents to sell on amazon, so if they sell I can add them to the total.

    So far still at zero but I am working on it.

    Hi All....ref getting money for nothing...here's a cracking tip for anyone with a Lloyds bank account!!!

    They're pushing some new sweeping spare cash into a savings account thing (called Save the Change) which basically means that if you sign up and agree, they'll round up any debit card transaction to the nearest £ and at the end of each day, sweep the extra into a savings account for you. Nothing dodgy about it - if you spend £1.89, they'll take £2 from your bank account and put the extra into your savings account.

    AND....here's the catch to get your attention! In Feb and March only, as a promo, they will MATCH all swept savings amounts up to £50 PER MONTH so there's a max of £100 of free money to be had in Feb and March.

    Check out their website for details.

    So that'll be me irritating all and sundry by paying for EVERYTHING with my Lloyds debit card!!!

    :D

    Have signed up for this - thank you! It won't bear any rewards until the end of February but its a nice bit of longterm planning!

    :p

    I think it's a bit like Amazon in that you just put them on and leave them - but I have sold three books in the last few weeks.
