    Made about 98p in clicks and nothing yesterday apart from winning two packets of crips and a bottle of wine in the pub quiz. Me and my boyfriend entered on our own and came second against a team of 12 people! AND they were cheating on their mobiles!

    Just noticed that a few people are counting their milleage claims. Do you think this is money made as you are paying for petrol and wear & tear on your car? If it should be added then I got over £100 today but I don't think I should. What does everyone think?:confused:

    i count mine but it's up to you.

    I count mine as i would be spending the money anyway. if i were to take the office car to a meeting i would have to back track 8 miles then drive 20 miles to the meeting, where as i could get paid 12 miles going and 20 miles back at 45p a mile

    Hi guys,

    I am not on this challenge but I needed some advice without wanting to draw more attention to the bingo offers.

    I just won £30 pounds on 888 ladies and apparently I have to deposit £30 before I can withdraw it, is this ok or has anyone had problems/successes?

    Thanks very much!

    yeah thats right, you deposit £30 and then withdraw £60 straight away so you dont loose any money!

    I'm up to £4 on slice the pie and I've had enough! not exactly on target today but never mind there's allways tomorrow

    Well, I'm off the blocks this month...

    12.07 - Quidco
    34.11 - Amazon
    85.17 - 2nd job

    I've also done a couple of surveys, but I'm new to this and think I'll only count these when I actually get something cashed in.

    ShineyHappy - sorry I can't help - I didn't win anything on 888!

    Good luck all and well done! :p

    This is an interesting one - I had thoughts too when I saw someone adding in mileage. As far as I understand it, everyone can really count whatever they see fit in terms of making extra money. But as an opinion, I would have thought mileage claiming was just a normal perk of a job so isn't really extra money for extra things done - some of us don't have jobs with mileage that's claimable and some of us don't even have jobs! Its also not something the rest of us can 'pick up on' and do, like the cashback sites etc. But its surely up to each person in the end to count their mileage or not!

    Thanks very much!! Its just scary putting your own money into a gambling type site- its just not me! I am way too errrr frugal to feel comfortable risking my money, although I have been brave and paid in the £30 so fingers crossed!

    I dont think that that is right, i think that you just have to deposit £5 (because you have to deposit before you can withdraw) and then you can withdraw the £35 pounds!
    (you just also have to have over £30 before you can withdraw!)

    oops! apparantly i am wrong but i hadnt refreshed in a while and some other people posted to help you! sorry

    Evening all!!!

    Wow, about 6 pages to get through since last night!

    Our house-moving saga continues with yet more incompetence by our buyer's solicitors, so still no moving date but still hoping for Friday (baby due next Tues:eek: !), but we've had enough of the fannying-around, so hired a van this morning for a week and made a proper start on the move out. So, been busy all day with no time on here and no money-making! Oh, actually that's a slight lie - when I just checked my emails, I made 3p on Archerfish!

    I don't expect to do much over the next few days either as we're going to be moving stuff every day (well, hubby is, while I supervise and tell him he's doing it all wrong:rolleyes: !), but good luck to you all in the meantime!

    Oh, to Batgirl and anyone else considering Hillary's: We had them out a while ago for the Quidco and said we wanted Velux blinds but only if they were cheaper than buying direct from Velux. The gent who came out was very honest and said theirs were about 4 times the price of Velux, so he wouldn't waste our time and his by measuring them unless we really wanted him to! Fine by me - £20 for a 3 minute chat! Might be worth trying something similar if they come round!
