    Would just like to point out, gambling is not guaranteed income, this includes signing up through Topcashback and quidcp for bingo sites. Yes you will earn the cashback but initially you have to deposit the money and play through. If you play through and don't get your money bqck, you are having to put more money on another site. This means you are outlaying again. Remember cashback is not paid immediately, it can be months before you receive payment.

    Can you afford to spend that money each time? Think about this before starting to chase money.

    There are dedicated forums.for matched betting. I do remember mse making it so only established members could see.this.forum.as.they didn't want newbies in debt getting into more debt chasing money.

    There is also a thread about the.bingo sites


    Can we please keep.the chat about these on.there


    Don't want people who can't afford to lose money each month thinking this is guaranteed.

    Absolutely fair points very well made, thanks Aesop, I started the conversation as a way of thinking aloud about this. I will address any further queries to the appropriate forums xx

    Well who'd have thought it, the Centerparcs lowest price guarantee actually does happen sometimes. I know CP is too expensive, but we've not been for ages so, as it's supposed to be a scorcher this summer, we've booked for the school hols. Paid a stupid amount for 4 nights, but I do randomly check that the price hasn't dropped and it never does - until this morning. Imagine my delight to see that the current price is £120 lower than we paid!!! Phoned up, quoted my reference and all done and quick as you like I got an email to confirm that we are due £120 back. Don't know how to do those little men jumping for joy icons, but please imagine it here !!!!

    In terms of this challenge, however, it won't count, as hubby paid, and this challenge is about making money to pay off my overdraft (that he doesn't know about - shhhh) so am still beavering away scanning books and CDs that I don't want anymore to ship off to appropriate places, and will update once finished.

    Nice bonus to the household coffers though - we can hire bikes at CP now!

I have been applying "gradual tan" lotion for a couple of weeks and will look reasonably ok if I am wearing swimming cozzie (not bikini though LOL!!!!!!!!!) Come on sunshine!!!!

    Does paying for the Sun newspaper to get the £5 fruit and veg voucher today count towards this?

    I would think it does gyinnit as long as you end up in profit! Is that in today's paper? I might get one!
