welshgirl78

Wow - the thread has fallen to page 3, a first I believe!!

All seems slow everywhere at the mo - guess the first impetuous has worn off but must........ keep.......... going!!

have worked out I need to average £16 a day to make the challenge.. not sure have done that for the last couple of days AQA is dead as a doornail the last time I checked, shall otherwise spend the evening reading about Ebay and finally getting round to it!! Plus Betfair is down for matched bettings, things are ganging up against me!!

Anyway as things stand

Mystery Shopping: £90
AQA : £76.30
Quidco : £63.74
RPoints: £2.82
Other: £58.56

Am getting annoyed with rpoints as they are soooooo slow :mad: boo!!

All else good anyway - looking forward to hearing how the rest of you are getting on :T

I'm not formally part of the challenge, but have been reading with interest.

I made £3.50 today by punting £5 on the tennis as part of a free £5 bet offered by betfair via an email. So i deposited £10, bet £5, won £8.50, betfair added £5 credit, so then i withdrew my original £10 less than 24hrs after putting it in. I then placed another £5 on paraguay to beat columbia tomorrow. Betting is evil i know, and I expect scorn from MSEers, but if i can ride the luck for a bit with Betfair's money, all the better!

Am a happy girl now - have made £10.80 on AQA and have broken £300

Woo hoo!!!

Wheee! I've popped my MB cherry! :j

Placed my first bets last night signing up to Coral & Betfair thru Quidco. Only a £10 bonus from Coral for going thru Quidco (could have done the £50 sun50 deal but this meant investing £90 of my own money, rather than just £20 for the £10 deal).

Anyway, upshot is I'm now £6 up in the bank (or will be when the transfer from Coral completes) & have £3 & change at Betfair, and another £50 at Quidco!

I've also been doing DVD free trials for Quidco cashback (cinema paradiso seems to have recently gone up - £6 now & I'm sure it was 50p before), and have a bid on my first eBay listing :T

Totals so far then:

AQA: £77.10
Quidco: £198.66 tracked/validated/received
MBing: £9.14

Total: £284.90

Gonna have to get that over £300 this weekend, though AQA is dead as a dodo lately.

Well Done Dr Hook!!

It all gets easier now the first bet is done!!

Have a grand day... AQA is RUBBISH at the moment hey?

Popped my MBing cherry yesterday too!

I'm a little confused though as I deposited £50 in 2 different betting accounts yesterday and this morning now have a total of £123.85 so £23.85 profit but over on the gambling board I've been told that I've lost £1.15 summat about the 1.5% commission but in my eyes that's still £23.85 I didn't have yesterday WOOOHOOOO!!!

Just waiting for next Tuesday now as I've signed up to Sportingbet and you place a £25 bet and the following Tuesday they credit you with a free £25 bet so I'll get at least £25 profit from that whatever happens!! (I think )

Hi everyone

Not been around over the past couple of days and not made much money due to the fact I have an abscess on my tooth . At least I know why I was feeling so rubbish anyway!! As I'm not in agony with it though, I've got to wait until Monday to get it sorted. I'm dreading the cost more than the pain to be honest!!

I am going to try and do some AQA today and over the weekend to push my total up - I'm aiming for over £400 by Sunday evening.

Keep up the good work everyone

Just updating my total, another £6.12 to add! :j

Still trying to weigh up whether the Quidco Legal and General Isa worth doing. £110 cashback for £500 investment sounds great. From what I can see you can't do the cash isa though it has to be stocks and shares. Am so clueless about this. Is anyone else trying it?

Hope you feel better soon Emily!
