    I took a very bad bashing on another board last night, anyway the offensive posts were removed and it appears I currently have a forum stalker.

    Being a tad upset last night I didn't really spend much time on MSE but I did some clicks on quidco and increased my balance and wrote up 2 reports for the bzz campaign.

    Unfortunately, at the ms shop I did yesterday I ordered an incorrect topping so the co has refused to pay me for the assignment, that was £19 I could have done without spending. Tonight once the kiddies are in bed I am going to do some more surveys and click thrus.

    I will also have to update my totals shortly.

    Very sorry to hear that Welshy - you have been a wonderful poster on this thread and I'm sure many others, ignore the idiots, it's not worth it. I honestly don't understand the motivation of some people posting - there are billions of other forums so go find some other like minded losers...

    So there!!!

    (still watching you all although have slumped since finishing the challenge - telling myself everyone needs a break!)

    Good luck and ignore the weird stalkers and horrible people!!

    I'm still here! :hello:
    Been off work this week and been on days out so haven't had much time to make money. I've still been Matched Betting though, and I have a couple of items on ebay with bids on.

    So far:
    AQA £114.00
    Quidco £237.60
    eBay £090.48
    MBing £271.36
    Other £061.13
    TOTAL £774.57

    The last couple of hundred is proving tricky, though I've got some overtime booked next week which should be good for another 90 quid.

    When does the challenge finish? Was it the 14th?
