Home Based Enterprises & Interest Beater Challenge.

Books seem to disappear when listed on our feecycle.always taken ( to where I'm not sure though lol)

Did anyone else get the email from Kingjackpot about the free 100%? I paid in the £10 and got credited almost immediately with another £10 but have already won back my original tenner. I might just make something here if my luck holds - original tenner safely withdrawn from winnings so far and I'm letting a couple more games run through right now to see if I can get into profit on this one. Fingers crossed!

EDITED IN! The penny has just dropped! I'm up another £10, so have doubled my money already! NOW I GET IT! :j :beer:

Just checked account to make sure everything went to plan and yes, the £10 original money plus the extra £10 in winnings from KingJackpot has been paid out, so I'm happy now. Wonder if they will send any more promotions like that soon? It means I'm over 50% of the way to 'earning' the equivalent to my ISA interest already

Blooming heck Nyk, at this rate you'll have made the isa capital as well! Well done hun :grouphug:

Have been thinking about the books. If I had that many to shift I'd offer them as an ebay job lot (or several). I have bought this way before. What we can't shift on amazon we carboot at 50 h/b, 10p p/b. Anything that still doesn't sell we give away.

The charity shops round here are already well stocked so we give them to shelters and hospices, who are usually grateful for them. Our doctor's does a booksale twice per year, so we donate to them too.

But I did see a site once that suggested old books for noise and heat insulation, always wanted to pass that gem on! But if I had 8000 of them, I'd definitely build a little fortress

Got an email today from one of the cashcade sites giving me a free 'we miss you' bonus. (What was that? You miss me ripping you off?!)
Played the bonus, was down to last pennies when I won bonus points in the chat. (See! I knew there was a point to all those sodding GLs and WDs!)
Won £21.63 ! :j Just waiting 'til I have funding to stick a tenner in and withdraw the lot now!

Also have bought domain and started on website, and have looked into doing avon and seeing how it goes.

Great news on the freebie bingo bonus points win - that's more or less what happened with my KingJackpot account - they missed me and sent a special 'match' spend a tenner and we'll give you a tenner... so I did and I won an extra tenner on top of the cashback I had already claimed. :rotfl:

And for my next trick - I have just turned £10 into £30 by signing up to Mecca via Topcashback and the transaction has tracked successfully and the £30 is showing up as pending. I won't add it into my total until I can actually withdraw the amount and transfer it into the bank but by then, I should have another £10 to add to it from click throughs and I still have the MECCA games to play through so risk winning some more. :j

This tax free game is rather fun, don't you think? :rotfl:

PS: I don't have 8000 books, I think that's Marru who has them. I only have a few hundred and want to raise some funds from them. It has been suggested that I wrip them up and use them to make the 6' version of Phil The Pig, as seen to left of here. (It's a long story, it's in the papier mache & free hobbies thread I started a few months back.)

PPS: Good luck with the website - I'm updating mine as we speak

Yup, loving it. Keep having to explain the appeal to OH though. It's like when Tesco had their old R&R policy. It wasn't so much owning the whatever it was I'd just bagged, it was the walking out with it without having paid a penny for it.

Frugaldom

R&R - I think Co-op still does this because when I returned bashed bananas they refunded the money and replaced the goods - I was quite stunned! It reminded me of how it would feel seeing the monkey win the election on the promise of free bananas! :rotfl:

Another £20 babysitting - boring but profitable:D

Hi everyone, just a quick question; is everyone banking their money so they have it at the end of the year (and receive interest on it) or are you just counting it up as it comes in and spending it back out again? It's just that I've decided to try using mine to pay into the friendly society assurance bond I started. I only opened it with the minimum £15 per month, 1st payment due on 1st May, but thought it would be a great way of NOT spending the tax free interest beater challenge cash and, at the same time, investing it into something tax free. I should also get 7,123 points (worth £45) for opening it but there's no way of tracking things on MutualPoints until they get paid. I also need to find out where my £15 worth of free M&S vouchers are that they promised when I applied just before end of the tax year!!

I'm going to bank mine... haven't opened an account yet but I reckon I will when I figure out what cashback I can get for doing it
