  • Count me in too please Gemmzie.
    Fingers crossed I'll be paired with someone who can teach me matched betting, and I'll teach them couponing.

    If my maths is wright i think i will need to make £33.60 each week to meet this challenge. should be possible if im good with my shopping and earning extra bits. Ive decided that this money will all go to the barclay card currently standing at £999, any other over payments i make, i will put on the mint card. the interest rates are around the same amount so it will help ne to see the benefits of the challenge.

  • I think it would be best to count challengers individually. For those reasons mentioned above and also because as much as I would like to help others as a buddy Im not sure there is alot I can help with.

    Also I have alot on with my fundraising which will mean I would not be able devote much time to the challenge myself which would mean my buddy would suffer! I was just going to carry on the way I have previously done the challenge (if thats ok :o, if not I suppose I could buddy my brother playa and become his mentor in the ways of the challenge lifestyle ;))
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!

    Count me in please, I'd like to give matched betting a go but haven't got a clue really! Although I do love the gee gees :D

    I'll aim for bronze I think :)

    Edit - looking at the matched betting I can't see me getting this at all, my brains gone to mush recently! So i'd rather concentrate on survey/cashback sites and mystery shopping, I don't have experience in the latter although I am signed up to some places.
    :heart: Think happy & you'll be happy :heart:

    Hi

    Can I join in please Gemmzie? Don't know how I missed this for so long. Just bronze as it's my first go but I'll try and improve on that! I've no special skills though (not that would be useful to the challenge anyway), but I'm another comper/ebayer and after seeing your list I'm off to sign up for mystery shopping.
