    Wow, everyone has been working hard today.
    I really don't understand the matched betting thing, I don'thave enough money to spare to really get into it either so I'm going to avoid it for now.

    Oooh - can I join please?
    I was too much of a newbie when the olympic challenge took off but have been dabbbling since.
    A £1000 before September would mean money off debts and a holiday for us and this challenge will be the kick up the @rse I need.
    Will sort out signature later, but today have £5 (I hope) from a survey & 48p from quidco.
    Will start on Lynz list tomorrow/today.

    Morning all moneymakers :D

    IM going to do a bit of matched betting later on in the month, hopefully. we think printing off th eguides then sitting down with them will make it a bit easier to absorb. However, we are not going to do this till all the ebay stuff is sold or selling, just want to make sure we can concentrate our tiny minds :p

    Counted up the change pot yesterday. Theres a grand total of 4.00 there - added to sig.

    Aside from that, today at work I'll be comping, and doing a few clicks here and there. Dezz Ill check my freefivers and see if I ever joined up, not sure I did, will pm you later if not.

    Wonder if the postie is sending me anything today :D

    Weve decided to use up some of our clubcard vouchers for our shopping and use this money towards the total. I know others probably do this anyway , but to us its like having 20 quid pinned to the noticeboard that we are not having work for us.

    Hope everyone has a fab moneymaking day :money: lets get busy :D

    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:

    Hi,

    wondering if I can join in too? I've no debt to clear, but am saving for a year long trip round the world with my kiddies. I keep putting off getting fully back into my matched betting and so it's all going very slowly. Hoping this challenge may give me some inspiration!

    Shall count up some pennies soon and sort myself out a sig :)

    Good morning all!!

    Just caught up with all the action since I was last online on Friday and I'm pleased to see you've all been busy :D

    Unfortunately my boss is in this morning and in a really bad mood :( so not sure how much money making I'll be able to do this morning but I shall be on it this arvo.

    James, thanks so much for the MB info..I was going to mention this as a way we can all increase our profits and am so pleased we have someone on board that knows what they're doing :rotfl: I read the newbie MB thread some months ago and was getting it until I got to a certain point and I think that maybe my brain had become too full of information and wasn't letting anything else in :confused: so gave up. I am determined to get my head round it today as I think it's something I'll really enjoy.

    Must remember to cancel my Amazon dvd rental free month's trial today, anyone know if it has to be done in writing.

    I'll be back!!

    Jo.x
    DFW Nerd no. 496 - Proud to be dealing with my debts!!

    jo1972 the free trials can usually be cancelled online - if you sign into your account there should be an option there. I did my Blockbuster one last week.

    When I started MB'ing I don't think I fully understood it. I just follwed everything to the letter and it was some weeks down the line when soemthing finally clicked and I understood everything!! It is quite hard at first, but once you know it's fine. Good luck!
