oooh so close for me to make £300 now, dad rounded up the money he owed me for doing his christmas shopping (on my cashback credit card
) so an extra £2 to add. now to make 27p :rolleyes:
I will be pleased with the £300 as I havent put much effort in this time due to my holiday and fundraising and other things going on in the family! and as we always say, its money we would have never had before!!!finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!0 -

For example I've done ok out of selling books, and selling on ebay and matched betting, but would like to try mystery shopping.
We could then choose buddys who can help with the things we would like to try, and hopefully help them with the things we already feel confident about.
Love it! So a matched better could team up with a mystery shopper and teach each other?No longer using this account for new posts from 20130 -
