  • Hello Everyone,
    I have been lurking around on these boards for some time -- knowing I need something to spur me into better financial shape and trying to decide which challenges to join.
    Hope you don't mind me posting here half way through the month -- or that I've not set a daily target -- or if I've not set up a sig -- or if I report things that have not yet paid out -- but I thought I'd work better if I started sharing what I'm doing with you amazing people on here.
    So far this month I have £114 tracking through TCB, saved £15 with a voucher on an Ocado shop, found £1.69 on the pavement and ordered £15 in JS vouchers from my credit card. I have listed a couple of items on Eb*y (more to follow -- no bids yet on those two) and joined (but yet to participate in) a number of survey sites. It's all very much work in progress so far but I'm thinking of setting a £5 per day target for next month.
    Any tips on the best sites to start me off would be greatly appreciated.

    Well it's starting to trickle through.

    So far this month:
    £15 saved with Ocado voucher
    £10 profit from Fab Bingo
    £17.14 drawn from TCB
    £2.01 found and pocketed.
    Grand total of £44.15.

    Other bits to report:
    No bids on Eb*y (items finish tomorrow)
    £135 (ish) still tracking with TCB
    Ten writing assignments to complete ($16 each)
    £7.57 won on XBingo (not yet drawn)
    Still waiting for £15 JS vouchers
    Loads of stuff found to list on Eb*y
    Signed up to various survey and other sites

    - thanks, everyone, for the great ideas and support in this thread!

    If you hit the twitter or Facebook button you get another 50. You should get 90 a week. :D

    (I only figured this out about a month ago and mine are adding up nicely now.)


    Thanks for asking that - I was wondering as well. Away to try it... :)

    Have tried it. And you don't actually have to waste paper printing the recipes, you can just download them :D

    I never print the recipes, I click on print, and my printer comes up, but I never click print on my printer and always get my 10 points credit.

    Well the singing seemed to work last time as shortly after people started getting some luck on the Bingo, and various claims etc that got sorted.
    And there's been even more singing this time - so which one of us is going to win the lottery?!?

    I'd be happy to be your friend nat.

    I saw someone mention free bingo on here earlier. I can see free bingo on Sun Bingo but there isn't a game in session atm. Is there any other free bingo?
