    I was wondering about PP and the baby Panda but I've realised that she was due to move house on Wednesday last as well, and maybe she has to wait for an internet connection at the new address ......... that could take two weeks......

    i've been a lurker on this thread for a while, just trying out a few ideas at first believing that £10 per day would be impossible but i will definately join you for April.

    wanted to see if this would count

    my family regularly buys walkers crisps individually at the local shop at 40p per bag (i know thats insane!). just come back from tescos where i bought a 21 bag multi pack for £3.09 which was also BOGOF. 42 bags for £3.09 which is just 7p per bag. never really thought about doing it before but this means a saving of £13.71 plus it gives me 42 brit trip points and i have already decided to use 25 points for a family day out at a local National Trust site (family entry is £10.50)

    so in theory my £3.09 purchase has saved me £24.21 - is that right? and can i count this towards this challenge?

    thanks and apologies for being stupid

    just thought i could add on 12p in tesco deals too making £24.33!

    (I don't want to quote all your post as it takes up so much space to keep quoting other people) Its hard to know about the crisps because it seemed mad to buy them locally at that price! If you keep buying them in bulk from Tescos will you keep recording it as a 'make money for the month' item?

    But in the end its all up to you what you count and what you don't.

    I would like to suggest, as you mentioned National Trust, that using Quidco you can get a year's individual membersip for £34.50 and then you get £20 cashback! For a couple its cheaper to buy two individual memberships and get £40 cashback...........

    Thought I'd post again to try and combat the mid-month lull. I have been generally sulking about the fact that I'm falling behind in the challenge. I'm about £40 shy of where I should be. There's a few bits coming in from Quidco and Amazon sales so I think I'll definitely get half way. I've been very reluctant to try the Bingo just in case I like it too much! Although from what people have said on here, it's as dull as ditch water. Hmmm, must get thinking.......:rolleyes:

    ...but you still have more money than you would have done without the challenge! Is your cup half full or half empty!!!!

    I just won around £6 on a £1 Bingo site I'd missed first time round. I'm getting 'spoilt' by bigger wins and couldn't be bothered to deposit and wait etc just for that amount, so decided to play through with it - got down to £1.30 and then won £32!!!!!!!:j :j :j

    Hi All,

    Just thought I'd pop in and see how everyone is doing. A couple of you have mentioned Bingo, I thought the loopholes had closed, am I wrong, can you still get no deposit Bingo?

    there's a few sites still offering the free bingo, not many now though.

    £5 from slicethepie but that's all for today :(
