  • I would like to join please - put me down for Bronze to begin with. :j I managed to nearly get to silver last year so fingers crossed i might do as well this time around. Most of my extra will come from overtime, OH working extra weekends and survey sites/cashbacks etc. As you can see from my sig my main push for this year is overpaying the mortgage and getting some savings together so any money i can make from this challenge will go towards that. Bring it on:j

    hi pania, i don't know much about mystery shopping but could I beg a little help with matched betting from u if you have time? i've spent most of this afternoon reading (and re-reading!) the newbies thread and think i have it, just want to make sure ...

    anyways if u dont have time don't worry! :-)
