    Hi everyone

    How we all doing?

    I've managed to pay another £10 off my card which is good. I've also accepted 3 mystery shops that pay £5 each (with freebies ;) ) so that money can come off the card when I receive it.

    Need to find some more ways of making money quickly!!

    Sorry im late with this challenge! Im going to pay off The House of Fraser card this month as there is only £185 on it. It will be nice to kick off my new concerted effort to get debt free with a 0 balance!

    I managed £10 from a 20 minute focus group today (and resisted the urge to spend it immediately in the shops on the way home - hurrah!). Thought about trying to get my head round match betting too but can't quite get to grips with it!
  • Hi folks. I have posted a few items tonight on e-bay. I have loads more to go on but it takes sooooooooo long and I get bored. Will do more tomorrow and just keep adding all weekend until I have everything on. Postage will cost me a fortune lol. I do 10 day listings so to make sure the money is cleared by the end of the month I will need to get them on this weekend. Going to check the weather for next weekend and see if there are any oot sales I can go to as I have loads to sell there too. x

    Hi All,

    I raised £10.16 profit from a win with free money by signing up to the mirror bingo offer. I also should have £7.64 profit from match betting some money today. I am going to try and earn the rest by signing up for some match bets and possibly putting a few things on ebay.

    On nights for next few days so won't get much done till my week off after that.

    Good luck in your fund raising everyone!

    I know it's a bit late but can I join in please? I have a whopping £800 on a credit card but only £300 of that is mine to pay off so that'll be my challenge amount if that's ok? :d
