Can you count me in too please? i am aiming to save £500 to start with, have just opened up an internet saver account so i can transfer all my extra cash in there to keep on top of my progress, i am hoping to up this after i have reached the target, doing this in a year should be easy shouldnt it? lol

OH found a very dirty 20p in the garden this morning and gave it to me for my IB :T
Good idea about opening an account SophiesMum, and thanks for all the extra info about it peeps - off to have a go myself!
EDIT: applied successfully! :j Let's hope it all comes through.

phew, final grand national related quidco bookies tracked today
i was starting to get worried!

my current strategy is to sign up for 5 quidco free sign up thingies a day

its really annoying not being able to update my total til it hits my account, i wanna see those figures moving!

Does anyone know if the HSBC account thru quidco means you have to take ID into a branch?? I will open an account for savings etc but quidco extra cash would also help.

Most banks will send you a letter asking you to send certified photocopies or bills etc to prove your identity/address etc. You don't usually get asked to go into a branch.

Found 20p tonight in bathroom drawer:D so snaffled it quick.

I opened the saver account and wasn't asked for any ID.Went through straight away as did the cashback

I have a great idea for a mini-challenge!

did anyone see the 'how far can you make £1 stretch' thread that was mentioned in this weeks email? (sorry, cant do links!)

well on the first page of it someone was talking about how they bought something for £1 in a charity shop, sold it on ebay, used the profit to buy more stuff which they again sold for a profit, etc etc....

I think this would make a great mini-challenge for us, it sounds quite fun and easy. Would anyone like to do this?

any ideas about rules too, I was thinking we could aim for 3 cycles of buying and selling and then compare how much our £1 investments have made?

oooh it wuld mean we get to go shopping too.....:D

Will buying a thunderball ticket and winning £20 count? :j

System

well, technically you would be 'buying' and then 'selling' the ticket back if it wins...then you can use the money to buy again... so i don't see why not

but there is a high risk of losing your original investment!
maybe you could start with something else, then in the second cycle buy a ticket, so that if you lose you still have other 'investments' to fall back on!

Brilliant idea! I have done this one before, on several occasions and, sadly, am currently part of one of these challenges elsewhere, so I can't count any earnings from it here I did remember to log in to claim my free bingo tickets today, though, so anything I might win (doubtful) will be put towards this challenge along with any interest made from stoozing.
