  • A few more pennies to add from yesterday: 55p surveys, £1 of points used in S/drug and 5p roadkill. Going to hang on to the bitter end to see if I can add a little bit more by the end of the day!

  • Well, August is almost at an end, & I set my self £10 a day day challenge, but only achieved £275.77, but with about £150.00, yet to be paid for Mystery shops I might have made it! Howver they can count towards September.

    Mind you it didn't help me being on holiday one week in Wales with the kids, & this week working away in Canada at the last moment.

    Thanks for the help & info that you all post. Good luck all next month!

  • While you lot have been frantically scurrying around trying to earn/save yourselves an extra tenner, I've been busy winning £4.9k on roulette

    By not being a gambler myself, I have always thought that people who bet or visit casinosare quite happy to tell you how much thye have won, they are not as open to how much they have lost!

    This is purely a personal point, from someone who does have debts for non-gambling reasons, mainly from being a recovering alcoholic & drinking away hard earned money, is not the fact both the roulette winner & I are both on this site says a lot!

    Thanks Openscreen for posting about yourself. Hard to admit, and very brave to post.

    Boris is a word I am not allowed to say, begins with a T, and looking at his/her posting history makes a habit of posting controversial posts. You get them all over the internet.

    I am honest when I play bingo, and usually play with free money or the initial signup and then withdraw it. I do not tend to put more money back into the sites.

    £2.28 from TCB

    5p roadkill

    haven't made target this month, but have had a holiday this week from work and pretty much everything else, housework included.

    so can only blame myself for not being half way to target. :o

    Well, I sorted out my coupons Yesterday I gained £7.50 and after visiting 2 supermarkets to get best deals I've gained £38 profit. £2 of its on an item i prob wouldnt buy (tinned pears!) but im sure it will come in handy at some point. Won't need to be buying persil or dishwasher tablets for a year or two :)

    Have a girl coming today to look at gumtree stuff and I'm hoping that will tip me over to 3x my initial target!

    And it's just occurred to me- road kill is money you found on the ground not a random dead animal. Was thinking you were all v extreme!

    Looking forward to September and 9 days free listing. Woohoo!
