    Right, I've booked the most amazing life experience trip ever, and need to earn just a little more money to spent some time in China both before and after the experience - I'm going to work with pandas for 2 weeks at Wolong Panda Reserve in China!

    I've done everything I can think of - I've put 65 books on Amazon tonight, I've a pile of stuff to ebay, I've signed up for mystery shopping, I'm looking for a part-time job as I'm about to start a 3 day a week job, but for more money than working 5 days, so I can work in a bar or something, I'll have more time at home so have signed up for surveys, and will be able to enter competitions,but does anyone have any more ideas? This is my dream trip, and basically the more money I can save, the longer I can spent in China! I've got really cheap flights, got a cheap hotel in China, I'm just looking to pick the brains of MSE'ers to see if there's something I've missed! I want this to be a fun challenge in trying to earn as much money as possible to enjoy what I have dreamed of doing for years!

    Hope you have a great time!
    If you haven't done so already, pay a visit to https://www.moneysupermarket.com - it's brilliant. I've just switched energy providers, so not only will I be saving on my power bills, I also earned a £30 bonus for doing so, from moneysupermarket. You might well be able to cut down on a lot of your current monthly outgoings - insurance, shopping, mobile phone bills etc, and get travel money more cheaply!

    PS Also, sign up with https://www.greasypalm.co.uk - you get £2.50 just for joining, and money if you refer other people. Lots of good discounts and cashbacks.
  • Probably best with quidco rather than greasypalm unless you have tons of friends you can refer

    Thanks for that info - I'll look them up!

    I just saved myself some more money tonight on car insurance, through using https://www.moneysupermarket.com - I got an insurance quote through them, and the cheapest I got was with the Post Office (their insurers are NIG). Just as comprehensive as my current policy but £70 cheaper!!! In addition, the Post Office are offering £50 worth of postal orders if you get insurance with them. That's a great saving/cashback for a Monday evening!

  • sorry skap - I only just noticed your post! You are right, bingos.co.uk appears to have been taken off quidco.com now! I used bingocafe recently which pays £20, wagering £10 so guaranteed £10 and still get to keep any winnings.

    I find this thread a very useful source of information on no risk profit on bingo / slots as long as tracks via quidco:
