Is that from the OddsMonkey thing?November 2023
I'm always in it, it's only the depth that varies....
Current debt: £10,806.75
Debt free date April 2025 (though expecting this to come forward)2 -
The MB ££ are from that website, for free spins you don't need it. Most casino/betting websites have a daily free game/reward. Some are really bad, some are better. I think I have about 15 websites I visit daily and I get a few pence here and there. It adds up slowly.CMD79 said:

Just £1.13 from CCs. Got a couple of other sites I cashed out on today, but they take a day or 2 to reach PP, so won't count them till they arrive. Also got some waiting to be approved in P/fc .Making the debt go down and savings go up

£10.95 from MB. The offers are drying up, I have a couple more free bets and I'll stop after that.
Total £152.23 / £155
My coop switch is completing tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have £125 to add on Tuesday. I think that's all for the month unless I get more sales on vinted, I have lots listed but they've been there for a while.01.12.2020 - CC £16,839 / Loan £18,820 / EF £0

I had a meal with my daughter yesterday that should have cost £46 but I got the manager to agree I didn’t have to pay anything. I was very polite about it 😀 I’ve added this. I don’t think I’m going to be finding more change lying around anytime soon, a relative has randomly paid £50 into my account, I really need to thank them - my Christmas present I reckon. Thank you for mentioning Curious Cat, I’m also now signed up for Prolific and back on it at YouGov. I’m finding that I’m keeping track of what I’m spending and saving too, inspired by boosting income. I fought back over some time, to be debt free some years ago now and appreciate how much keeping an eye on this stuff really helps. I cancelled subscriptions/memberships coming out of my bank as well. I’m chasing 3 more refunds.
I’m a member at hotels.com and got a free night, which happens when you’ve booked 10 nights within I think 12 months but they extended it because of Covid so it has been more like 10 nights over 3 years…I often book for work so this is a bonus I very much appreciate and am including in these calculations. Might use cinema tickets from Lloyds bank as a freebie when me and my partner have this booked free night in Gloucester.
Good luck all.4
