    Hi everyone

    Would love to join in please now that I am back on the DFW track ;) .

    I will aim for platinum please.

    Would be happy to buddy up with someone - I am a researcher with AQA if anyone is thinking about applying for that (and I don't have a degree!) and have done a lot of mystery shopping. I am a compaholic too and always manage to find the best comps to enter ;)

    I kind of get the matched betting thing but need to build up some spare cash to get that started.

    Thanks Gemmzie

  • nice to see you back emily!!! :)

    it was because of your money for nothing challenge I got into all this, so I have you to thank for the extra £815.77 I have made since beginning my journey on the challenge road.

    to anyone else thinking of joining up, give it a go, it opens up a whole new way of life!!! as well as the chance to make lots of virtual friends :)
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!

    Please count me in! I'll have a go at the top one. I'm going to give match betting a good go next year so if anybody can help please?

    The last challenge bought me in £2,500 but I have another £5000 that I have to raise by August and our third baby will be with us in March - this makes the challenge even more exciting!

    I currently do eBay, Amazon, GreenMetropolis, mystery shopping, seed mailing, data entry from home, daily clicks and surveys. Am happy to pass on any info that may help...

    Receiving mailing sent out by various companies to your home address but with 'false' name details. You then send them back to the marketing company. It is done to check that companies aren't using mailing lists after their licence has run out.

    It's not going to make me rich but every little penny helps!

    How do you get into doing that? I've just signed up the Royal Mail checking service, http://rmsurveys.research-int.com/ I send a few items of mail, and receive a few items and just report the dates when they are received.
