    if this actually works out the way I hope it will *crosses fingers* this MBing lark should be the answer to the problem we face. Ie barcalycards 19.9%

    I can now see why MBers cant be bothered with ebay and the like....

    Oh as well, thanks to Dr Hook- your spreadsheet is fab :)

    Yes ebay seems like such hard work for not very much after doing MB'ing. The only reason I'm starting ebay again is that I need to declutter for England!

    WARNING!

    If you are Matched betting, dont do the Gala Bingo. If you are already signed up to Corals, the £30 wont track.

    I tried it anyway and was told to sign in with my Corals id as I was already a member.


    hehehe i tried this today Dee123 :rotfl:the swines said i needed to log in with my previous username dam! :rotfl:

    I have had a day of tidying up and trying to earn some money towards this challenge - it's great motivation.

    I joined lovefilm and the WH Smiths offer too, I sent for a sim card with O2, I've done the 70p surveys and I joined the

    national lottery bought a ticket and quidco is £4 cash back. The mininum amount to put in was £5 so I bought a £1.50 ticket and gambled the rest on instant cards. DS loved pressing the buttons and we won so I ended up withdrawing £10.50 so I was £5.50 up on the transaction and I will get £4 from quidco so that's another £9.50

    If you said 3 weeks ago, I would be betting on the horses, playing on-line bingo and playing the lottery via my PC I would have laughed ! Mr Welshy thinks I have gone mad LOL

    Understood here - my BF has got a vague understandng of MB but thinks I am a MSE weirdo on lots of things, inbetween being a wild money spender on other issues (that give me cash!)

    Anyway am VERY proud of myself today, £66.60 in AQA and £70 in non risk free casino stuff...

    Mystery Shopping: £137
    AQA : £283.30
    Quidco : £63.74
    RPoints: £15.32
    Matched Betting: £69.88
    Other: £118.61

    Making £687.85!!!!!!!!!!

    I am so happy! can see the end goal!

    Good luck all, esp with car boots etc tomorrow morning - although suspect car booters are in bed by now!
