Hello all forumites!

Got a bit of spare cash due to voluntary redundancy. Gonna attempt to turn £600 to £2000 in a couple of weeks to take the family on a holiday to sunny Spain.

Lets see if we can rustle up a few good backs and lays to get me a good start.

Any advice appreciated.

Put the £600 towards the holiday...

You could probably go on your own for £600 Devil

Good Luck though ....
Report THEMIGHTYSPURS April 15, 2013 10:39 AM BST
I've already been on two holidays without the kids and the wife in the last two years so thought I'd better take the pack with me this time :(

Will post all bets on here before the off.

As I'm on a limited timeframe, I'm gonna try and be ruthless and may adopt a Martingale approach.

Don't all groan!!!!! As we ALL know long term the Martingale is a BIG no no

But it could be just what is required to get me to 2k

Thoughts?

thread concept all too familiar,usually with the same outcome;crash and burn.expect a bit of abuse as well.
good luck all the same.

Yeah I know posting on here is normally a massive curse and its probably been done loads of times and failed miserably, but hey, I'm in a fortunate financial position, to not have to worry too much if it goes.

Starting a new job in May, so it's just gonna keep me busy in between housework and cooking Plain
