    2) Count all the extra cash I earnt in the 2 months period e.g mystery shops, quido AQA etc (!!) whether it actually arrived or not

    this is also the line we are going with I tihnk. TBH I dont really care, just want to have the card paid off thats all that matters :)

    2 books sold on amazon today which is a right result as we only listed them on Thurs night. Theyll be posted tuesday.

    No ebaying done today :( life gfot in the way, but Im finally about to count up the copper jar now and add to the total.

    Have a great week everyone - please if ANYONE wants any referrals to yougov do pm me and let me know - same with Qincifer - you choose :D so me and quincifer dont come to handbags at dawn LOL

    Hve a great evening everyone :T your all doing so well :T :T
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Hey, thanks for your suggestion.

    I have considered matched betting and did a bit last summer. Only did about 5 bookies but got a bit stuck (and low cash flow) - also guess you have to have money to make money in this case!!

    Am currently investigating casinos and bingo etc - not reading too much great stuff though. Any advice on MB or the rest is always gratefully received!! Other than that shall keep on investigating :confused:

    its all good though - still feeling motivated - I love this challenge :T :T

    Hiya everyone ur doin super duper!!!:j

    I hope ur all feeling postitve?? I am for a change and its great!! :j well I didnt do the carboot today i was waaaaaay too tired!! but there we are... I phoned the council on friday and they are insulating my loft for free how cool is that so that should save me money in my bill. try it. but the thing is I have to empty my ot and that is something which is more than a challenge on the other hand more things for me to carboot!!!!

    Thanks Dee123 ill pm ya the link ur a star!! If u need me to sign up for anything jus let me know.

    Can I ask what the eck is AQA??

    signed up for retail eyes they seem cool but I do live in wales...:rolleyes: not many shops to mystery shop.

    James I would love to do this matched betting but it seems very risky and I need it explained to me really.... I dont mind the casino matched betting things but the football betting is very very risky.

    Welshgirl I did the same as you but with a tenner, I came out with the quidco money and £26 so was chuffed. I played the sunset dreams. HOWEVER i did it recently with my OH account and it doesnt seem to playing... at all. :confused: they might have cottoned on.

    I signed up to jackpot joy once and just played through my free tenner and won £350 I was major major chuffed!!

    Thank you to you all for ur ideas and dedication (esp one person.. U kno who are ;) )

    Keep it coming we are doin buzzin!!!! woooo:beer:

    Dezzi, about Cyberslottz - when I first signed up on my laptop I couldn't play the slots at all but the Bingo ran fine. I tried it on the PC and it worked fine so if you have another computer (i know its all a bit ridiculous!) that might work for you.

    Good Luck with it anyway

    casino bonus bagging is very risky, and u could end up losing ur original money that u have deposited plus the bonus :)

    Matched betting is very very low risk i started off with a £100 and turned that into what i have in my total after 7 months. i have just continued to use the money that i have made from matched betting and kept it snow balling :)

    So if you can afford to spare £100 then matched betting is a really really good thing to get into cos it really is worthwhile doing it :)

    As a word of warning i definatley stay away from the casino bonus bagging :) as they are ultimatley very risky even if you follow strategy guides like they have on wizardofodds.com :)

    James, I'm gonna give Matched Betting a go soon. Keep wondering what to do now the footy season is ending lol and getting scared of missing a cashback offer. Been reading the Guidance threads over and over for weeks.

    Gonna start with all the Quidco etc so I get comfy with cashback and referrals etc then move onto that next.

  • ill try that mate thanks. I have read it a few times and still dont really understand it. Are the basic rules for example 2 football games on, you bet on both using 2 different companies and u gain a small amount of money or at least ur money back?? sorry to be thick but I really dont understand :(
