    Received some free vouchers from credit card points last week that I forgot to add here: £30 Sainsburys + £8 Argos
    Also £20 Pigsback Arcadia vouchers
    Another £50 in the pot this morning from Paypal.
    But -£4.25 postage

    Finally started looking into matched betting again last night. Put a £500 balance into Betfair which I won't deduct (will just remember it's there!), but I think the easiest way to keep track is just to calculate the bank account ins and outs to the bookies and any withdrawals from Bf above the £500. So:

    -£70.00 to 2 bookies
    -£5.00 another bingo deposit. Still waiting for loads of money back from that!

    Net total for the weekend: £28.75. Total so far: £1227.79 :cool:

    Thanks candyblue - haven't really got myself into gear for this challenge yet and was thinking of ebaying tonight but might as well try and get stuff ready tonight and then put them online on Thursday - so my challenge tonight is to find, photograph and do listings for 5 things.

    Then I'm going to list 5 things on the small ads at work too - need to get my total increasing!

  • Just joined the club going for bronze. Money earned so far on ebay. Hopefully will add £110 when a bed gets collected later in the week. Like the idea of finding 5 items to sell for Thursday on ebay!
