Morning morning morning This morning I got my playboy casino money (10.00)and quidco money (111.00) I had to put 100.00 of the quidco money into my account to clear the overdraft, but the rest went into the mortgage pot and at last the 30's have gone :j :j I've now knocked 5 years off my mortgage :beer: and its made me all motivated all over again Happy, happy day here today

Swimming isn't on in the morning on a tuesday so we're doing the other jobs first today then we'll swim late afternoon instead Have a good one everyone

Well done that's fab news - you really have done an amazing job with that mortgage!
I tried the playboy casino offer thro' Quidco but couldn't get it to work; downloaded whatever I had to from the site but then nothing:mad: Might try again!

Also, I fancied having a look at the matched betting stuff - have you read it all again yet?! I've only looked the once, but I'm sure I could get to grips with it. As I'm running out of ebay-able stuff I need to find something else to bring in some money. I had the AQA form but don't you need a degree? I only managed 2 yrs of uni before dropping out so it might rule me out!

ANyway, girls still fast asleep here. We're going swimming later on with friends. Well, girls will swim and play on the slides, while their pal's mum and i drink coffee from the gallery. Then might nip to Tesco, but not made a meal plan for the week and don't want to buy anything I don't need!

It does say you need a degree for AQA but they don't check As long as you're good at googling you'll be fine

We've just got back from Tesco, I managed to get ds: 6 x white polo shirts, 6 x white shirts, 2 x jumpers, 2 x p.e. t-shirts, plimsolls, a new winter coat and an academic diary for me all for 37.00 He still has 2 brand new pairs of trousers that were too big for him last year and so now he just needs new shoes and thats him done,but it does mean I have to name it all :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I hoovered through before we went out so its all nice and tidy today,we're just having lunch then we're going to work on ds scrapbook

Right, I've finally made it back to the dfw board :rolleyes: I've spent hours on the gambling board, making notes, reading, re-reading, etc etc about matched betting. I think I get it all now, soIhave signed up to my first bookies via quidco, Jaxx,(already signed up to Coral and Betfair before now), but I can't deposit,for some reason it won't let me so I have to phone up but their customer services aren't open till the morning :rolleyes: Not sure if that will invalidate me from quidcos money too Hmm, not the most successful start to my matched betting career :rolleyes: :rolleyes: BUT, I can see theres huge potential to make some money there and get my summer challenge back on track

Try again to deposit yourself in the morning, benben - and tell them you want to claim the cashback - they're the ones that are offering it after all. I was thinking of doing jaxx first thing too, so I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm going to have a really good read of the matched betting stuff at the weekend now when the girls are away so I can try join in with you 2!!!!:beer:

benbenandme

Yeah do Milly !! I think I do get it but there are so many different things to remember But it seems a good way of knocking a bit more off the mortgage

I did a bit in the first four month of this year, but I went *really* slowly compared to most of them - and I made a right p*at of myself on the intro thread a couple of days ago.... I find the reload offers - "if this loses you get a free bet" horrendously difficult to get my head round, and its often late (like this!) when I'm trying to read it. Ah well, another day, another dollar.
