    I managed to save some money today - the savings will go into one of my many jamjars. I managed to save £9.56 on buying some shower gel, handwash and a half price present for someone in Boots

  • Can I join too, please?

    I very much doubt I'll get anywhere near £10 a day buy hopefully it'll give me the encouragement to at least try..

    What are the rules?

    I am still comping but haven't won much recently as I've given up the expensive text comps and got myself a pay & go mobile. Also given up the postcard comps as the stamps were costing a fortune :rolleyes: . I still do internet comps (on the prizefinder website) and have just gotten into radio competitions too.

    Not as scary as you'd think and I won £100 on there the other day for answering 2 really simple questions. I felt like a little celebrity for the day at work too as everyone was asking me 'was that YOU on the radio this morning??' :D .

    You always seemed to be winning loads, did you not find the money you made from your prizes more than covered the cost of the stamps and txts?

  • Could I join please? £10 a day is all I need to cover the deficit between my incomings and outgoings. Might need some help though if that's ok?

    It was but then I went through a stage of not winning much for a couple of months and I was getting really frustrated. Decided it wasn't really worth it anymore and having to chase up prizes all the time was a nightmare. I was getting a bit obsessed with texting and it was costing me a fortune :o . At least the internet and radio comps don't cost me anything (I call the radio from work :D ) and I don't get disappointed if I don't win.

  • i just booked and was accepted for my first ever mystery shop. there are quite a few available in my area but need to go through the orientation first. I should also get my first (albeit small) payout from quidco in january so although challenge not officially started, it feels good to have things in place :)

  • Hi there

    I wonder if I could join in too?

    I really need a kick up the a**e to get my mortgage down. Have put the lodgers rent up by £10 per week from Jan (hasn't gone up in 2 years) so I'll count that in for a start.

    Also will motivate me to do daily clicks around £1 a day, my mini casino system £1 per day and get my head round matched betting!:eek: ....hoping to do at least two in the month, and give ebay another go.

    Here's to a more prosperous 2008 - good luck everyone!

    Righto off to amend my sig
