    have been following this thread although not took part yet as i know i have NO chance. (dont mystery shop or aqa.. and im signed off work so not even got wages at the moment!! eek)

    But last night feeling brave i signed up for coral through quidco cos i was going to try matched betting... (already had a betfair account and recieved the cashback months ago for opening it)..... so i opend the acount and deposited £10..... then bottled it... realising i really dont know enough.. have only £50 in the bank and a £73 council tax bill due... so i withdrew it...... only to log into quidco today to find its tracked and "validated" the £30! GRR!!

    I know it will turn to "declined" now wont it cos i didnt wager the money?!! Nothing i can do is there?? :( Now ive messed up if i ever did wanna try matched betting .

    I tried mirror bingo and it kept blanking but the games were being played and I was paying - then at 12.30am I tried bingo liner, £20 already tracking, that was like getting the sims to play bingo - I still have some credit left on that one.

    I am finding my email accounts are now bursting with spam and such like.

    Today, I had a budget of £2 for lunch in my office but spent £1 on soup and roll and as it was someone's birthday I had a free cake.

    Quidco is now just under £200 and I have secured 2 saturday's of overtime in the next 4 weeks, at double time, plus mileage plus diesel costs that will really help towards my total.

    OH is on night's tonight (yippeeee) I can now surf later without his nagging LOL

    I entered a few competitions last night so fingers crossed

    Welshy x

    Guess what I won !!!! my first MSE competition win. I won £100 to spend on my wish list from an internet shopping site. I think what I will do is spend half on something for house and half on something that hopefully I can ebay and make some money on.

    Again, big thanks to everyone on here who is giving me the motivation and encouragement to do this challenge.
