    Should I count this as £20 towards the challenge or should I play bingo with the money and then only count any winnings??

    ;) Count whatever cash you can withdraw into your bank a/c. (Well that's what I'd do). Do you have to play the £20? As sometimes youcan get away with withdrawing it........other times you may have to play it through a couple of times.

    Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."

    I am catching up :D

    I've just had another £4.27 validated from Quidco which means I've now got a running total of £20.27

    I've also just applied for some more mystery shops that (if I get all of them) will work out at £80!! I don't think I'll get all of them but will hopefully get at least 1.

    Just done a mystery shop £10, and also sent for £10 from survey site, its amazing how compulsive this has become - need to find time for my "other life" as well!
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    It wouldn't let me withdraw it, so I played through a few games of Deal or No Deal, making / losing 20pish each time, and then it let me withdraw £17.91 :j :j Absolutely no idea why or how, but hey, thanks Mecca Bingo, given me a bit of breathing space for a couple of days !! Woohoo !!! :beer:

  • I wasn't going to sign up to this officially, but can I?

    I've actually made a real effort with this and it's paying off, so count me in.

    So far I've got the £10 signup bonus from Cashback Madness, £20 on Ebay and £20 profit from signing up to Bingo site via Quidco.

    Must keep the motivation going!!!

    woohoo i banked £40 today getting it back FINALLY from a friend shes owed it for about 18 months so i never thought that i would see it again
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

  • #1.18 from quidco so far. I'll need to check my spreadsheet for Dec, but I think I've got some amazon sales that I didnt count for last month that I'll count for this month. I've also claimed #25 Mortgage Exit Fee from Northern Rock, but I think I'll count that when I get it. I've got a couple of mystery shops booked for next week. I think I'll get some stuff listed on ebay at the weekend.
  • Hmm, thought I'd signed up to this but clearly not... can I please??

    I am still unsure of how to count things... like this idea

    "I'm counting them on the day I *make* it for this challenge, it's called 'Make £10 a day'. For other challenges, like the Olympic Challenge, I count them on the day I receive them but if you did that for this one you mihgt not get anyhting, as sometimes they take a while to make it to your account! Hope that makes sense!"

    And think i might go with it... although will just update my totals on the clicks weekly... Yep thats it - I'm IN!! Not sure what to do about my clicks so i.e. before the challenge started - think I will begin on zero today which is a bit rubbish as can't inc bonuses - hey ho!!

    Got £40 of Pigsback vouchers in the post today, but not sure if I have counted them elsewhere... don't think I can include them either boo!!!

    Well off to start making this months cash xxx

    Just popping in to say 'Hi' as I've just joined this challenge! I'm doing the daily clicks and mystery shopping. I'm also doing some merchandising at the weekend which is a bit scary. I'm only doing it because the MS co offered more money.
