A few more Quid to add

A few more Quid to add to the Pot and a Few less

Well after 3 business days I was allowed to withdraw my free share and the £1 deposit and the profit £4.35 was withdrawn, however it has not landed in my account yet. I will add the total once I receive the money.

I have been using Quidco quite a lot for booking work trips and its starting to add up quite a lot. I have been searching around for the most cashback for booking train tickets, hotels and flights.  The amount of tracked cashback keeps increasing slowly.

I have also bought additional stock for the tuck shop which totalled £5.98 and £6 = £11.98
I probably should report the tuck shop totals in a separate total so I can see when the tuck shop falls into profit. I sell the chocolate bars at 30p and buy them in multipacks when they are on offer. I only make between 5p and 10p on a bar of chocolate. it will be a while before the tuck shop is in profit .

I have also bought this evening the trading video pack I have so desperately been after. I received an email with a £50 off code, I could not pass up the opportunity to buy it as I had saved a huge amount so far and it will not reduce my bank too much. I still need to reach the golden £1000 to do the larger matched betting sign up offers and begin trading with small stakes. the cost was £97 after the discount

My bank paid its interest and Cashback yesterday which totalled £20.64

I have also been reading my Micheal Carrick book which I am half way through, I have never found the time to ever read a book. It is quite nice having some time to me in amongst working hard and travelling while trying to juggle home life.

Now that I have bought the horse racing trading book and video pack on how to trade I will download the videos to my macbook and start watching them while on the train to pass the time, I should then be able to start making notes and make a plan on how to begin. I may add this information to my diary/blog in brief notes to show my progress. (I'm expecting this to be slow)

I have also downloaded an app called Job spotter and Roamler as described on the Moneysavingexpert.com website. For Roamler you need someone to give you an activation code. I have requested one from the facebook page so we will see what comes from the apps. Im a little sceptical that it will be worth it.

Free shares upto £100

Read on the bet72.com website about a free share offer

Here’s a chance to make upto £100 cash by simply creating a new account.

All you need to do is register for an Invest account with Trading212 through this link

www.trading212.com/ref/FMqL8DQY

This is a ‘refer a friend’ link with qualifies anyone using it to a free share (worth upto £100 in cash) and for transparency I will say that I will get one too, as the referrer, so a big thanks in advance to anyone who jumps onboard with this.

When you create an account you will get a referral link of your own that you can pass on to anyone you know (feel free to copy these instructions) so you will both get another free share each etc…etc…

To get started, click the link, goto Open Account, enter your details & select the INVEST account type as the type of account to open.

Next deposit £1 and verify the account. Then wait you will receive a free share which will be worth anything up to £100. After 3 more days you are then free to sell the share and withdraw all of your money including your £1 deposit.

My free share was Fitbit - not worth much but its value was at £6.15 so in 3 days I can sell and get my £1 back....hopefully. I will keep you posted on how that pans out.

End of Feb already!!

Well its the 1st March and it was payday yesterday and there are some good totals to add since the last post.

Also I have been reading my Micheal Carrick book and managed to read a fair chunk on the train last Wednesday whilst travelling on train to London and back for work.

Opened a new sportsbook account with Betstars for Bet £20 and get 2x£10 bets, profit after bets was £14.69

Betstars also offered some free spins on a slot game on the casino I won £4.10 and withdrew it.

There are some existing bookie offers that I need to work out how to do, so I definitely need to read the moneysaving expert matched betting forum and ask some questions.

The overall total saved is heading towards the £1000 which I need, to do the larger matched betting offers. At that point anything over this amount will be used to overpay my mortgage.

Quidco paid cashback for a work Hotel stay of £9.49

Saved money from February was £26 expenses paid and £229.99 left over from Feb salary. also saved was £180 from being owed money from an ex.

I have also booked this evening a hotel and train tickets to travel to London with work through Quidco so hopefully the cash back pays in due course.

I am yet to begin learning to trade as I have been so busy with work, hopefully as the busy period dies down, more time should present itself.

therefore totals since the last post add up as follows

Matched Betting £18.79
Cashback website £9.49
