    Morning earners :wave:

    Hope we are all feeling optimistic today?

    We talked more last night, we expect to exceed 1k. we worked out we need to basically earn a tenner a day each to be able to hit the 1k target. Icidentally we will end on Bazeys birthday. :D so any spare and we are going to do something special with it I reckon! a:beer: maybe?

    Tonight we are getting listing- be it amazon, ebay ( is it a cheap day today did I hear someone say?)

    I have a tmf bag of crisps which is 35p refunded, so Im about to pack that up for sending today. Apart from that Ill be quidcoing again on my lunch hour so will start with the next batch of tips and free money.

    Does anyone here use topcashback? If youd be so kind to post up any "free money" tips on that or a link to anything else on here that would be cool. :D

    Righ must get ready for work- Im late :eek:

    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Good morning all, Can I include the £2's from my £2 club in here? Banked £240 a few weeks ago and have started saving them again. Is this allowed?

    I dont know really girl racer :confused: I guess if you want to you can.

    IM not including any of the work that Ive already done that I havent got paid for - only what Im doing in this time period. But I guess its doesnt matter, its not like anyone is being cheated, its your money :D

    I would like to join, it would let me pay off the next and beneficial finance card. I have £16 in coins already and around another £9 on quidco so that's going in. I also have some teaching work for the next couple of weeks which is £100. Also have a load of stuff for carboot and ebay! :money:

    I'll update my signature.

    Hiya

    I'm going to join in as well, I want to put a new kitchen in my flat as the current one is falling apart! I've had a real struggle because I don't want to increase my debt and want to put all my free income towards reducing my debt, but I really want to replace the kitchen. So I've decided that if I can raise the money by ebaying, quidco etc then I can have my new kitchen! I've given myself until January to save the money so that I can hopefully get a good deal in the January sales and so saving £1000 in the next two months will be a great start!

    I've been signed up to quidco for a while but only used it so far to open an alliance & leicester account which had £50 cash back, I opened it in April but it didn't track and they still haven't sent the enquiry to alliance & leicester, so annoying! :mad:
    But will have a look at Lyndz suggestions, I didn't realise you could get so much money for free!! definitely going to sign up for lovefilm. Thanks!
    Debts in April 07 = £12,547.61 Debts in Aug 08 = £0
    I'm debt free! Woohoo!

  • morning happy savers!!!

    i had not idea about greasy palm.... whats the topcashback thing too? On free fivers u get fiver for signing up but u need 25 to get it out :( Theres a few free things on there tho like signing up to kinglotto, ordering catalgues and ordering buisness cards (but u have to pay 3 for postage:rolleyes: ) but its handy for me cause my uncle wants them anyway so ill just charge him a fiver heehee he wont care hes rich... ish.... Oh and on free fivers u get money for signing up other people but they have to do something need to read the rules properly.... :confused:

    I really want to try matched betting and stoozing but the matched betting seems oh so complicated.... I would probably lose money... Ive got a card thats interest free for six months and has 2500 avaiable. should I put this in my tax free high interest isa?? :confused: Im tempted but dont really knows the in's and outs of it all. Have any of you lot done it? Got six pound in tips last night, not too bad going to put it in the jar tho and save my wages instead. Ive also put in a claim for six weeks petrol, my bank charges back (wont count these!!) and im going to take a day off my course and work in a school thats a nice £100. Did you find any other 'free money' sites lynz?? Thanks for the advice!!

    XX C XX

    PS last night when i signed up for the buisness mag i signed up for the LOOK and for Marie claire and its tracked three times for 10.40 is this a mistake because it only says you get it for signing up to the buisness???? be cool if I got them all :rotfl:
