Anyone up for an earn £10 a day challenge this year?

I was wondering if anyone would like to join me Smile truth be told I really need the support!

Having DS has reduced my savings, and ability to save now that I'm paying for childcare. So my aim this year is to make £3650, or £10 a day which sounds far less terrifying.

I just thought this would be a great idea to share ideas for earning extra money and cheering each other on. Way better than just staring at a spreadsheet.

Soooooo here it goes.

Day One - £33.37/3650

£22.87 matched betting, and £10.61 Leapforce.

@leamaria you can only lose your pound! Highly unlikely you'll lose anything from your account, you can only lose the value what you've put in.

But I'm still a bit hesitant, so I'd say maybe hold fire on this one till Friday when those of us who got their shares today can cash out. See how it all pans out.

@leamaria about six times over the course of the past year or so - I've never had any issues getting payment from them Smile I always transfer to PayPal.

I'm bit confused too to be honest, I think it's sensible to hang back and wait for an update. Especially if you're nervous about this sort of thing.

Hmmm ... that's quite odd! My PayPal email is totally unrelated to my name, yet that's always been fine!

@leamaria is your PayPal email different to the email you used to sign up with?

Nothing like signing up with married name/PayPal still in maiden name?

Oh dear, I think I like the stocks game!
The number at the top of the page is £48.XX I take it this is the value of my share?

I tried to sell as per the instructions posted but it said to try again later so I’ll leave it 3 days, I like checking on it anyway!

leamaria every cashout request I’ve done on OMD has paid out within 2 days to Paypal, no issues. Around half of my transactions are still pending though and I’d say about 4 haven’t even tracked.

Another good day here. So glad I took on. This challenge!. So I won 9 pound on free spins on the slots today And I'm nearly 70 up from matched betting that I started yesterday. Also have another 12 on ohmydosh . They missed one of my offers and it seems to be taking a while to sort out :)

Well done to everyone so far !

AMomHasNoName · 22/01/2019 23:11

Oh and I've signed up for the trade212 thing.

Do you want to get a free stock share worth up to €100?

Otterses · 23/01/2019 07:06

Well done @AMomHasNoName ! That's fantastic progress 

@Sajack87 I'm envious 😂 mines gone up to £60 and seems to be hovering there. Are you going to withdraw on Friday?

@leamaria those are the only reasons I can think of for OMD being so weird Confused let us know what happens.

Hi all, I'm supposed to have access to the Lionbridge exam from today but so far only have access to the training area. It says the guidelines and exam access are sent separately. Does anyone know when this email will arrive, seems a bit off to give you a date and time limit and then not allow access until halfway through the first day...? I want to wait and see but if I leave it until outside office hours I imagine the problem (if there is one) won't be resolved until tomorrow. They seem to revel in over complicating the process!

Otterses · 23/01/2019 08:14

Gulp ... I've just done the £50 qualifier for the Sportspesa offer for a free £50 bet. Bet on the Perth match this morning, so I should get my free bet this afternoon and be up £35-45 presuming I win into the exchange.

@MellyPapa I think @SplitEndsBushyEyebrows may be the only person who can comment on that as the only one of us that hasn't been rejected by LionBridge Smile

@amomhasnoname can you share where that free slot offer was and how you won? I have done a few free slots, and cashed out £4-6 on some and £0 on others. Read a few guides yesterday before doing yesterday's which returned £0 😂

Annoyingly I have lost my debit card - it's somewhere in my bedroom, I was using it for matched betting Blush but I can't find the thing, so have cancelled it and ordered a new one. I think that's my MBing crimped until I get my new one through, don't have another debit card, and credit card transactions have fees. I'm so angry with myself! Unless anybody's done any bookie sign ups with paypal? I can see one in Team Profit, but I'm a bit Hmm as I perceive that Paypal would get you gumped quicker.

AMomHasNoName · 23/01/2019 09:04

Hi.it was on paddy power. 30 free spins for new members . :)

stiltonontoast · 23/01/2019 09:05

I shared my 212Trading link with a few friends and now I have £116 worth of stocks Shock lets hope we can all cash out successfully!

CourageCalls · 23/01/2019 09:11

I'm supposed to get the lionbridge exam today as well no sign of it yet! Smile

Mummabear2212 · 23/01/2019 09:31

I still haven't received my free share and when emailed was told it would be by the end of the day today! Hoping it's worth it after this!

That's great news @leamaria 😊

DS appears to be having a rather extreme reaction to his jabs 😩 lots of tears and screaming, plus a delightful looking rash. Can't see me getting much done today.

OP posts:
Mummabear2212 · 23/01/2019 09:56

Oh no @Otterses, so far we've avoided any bad reactions. I hope your DS feels better soon, and your day gets better. Rubbish when they're poorly. Failing that, wine!
