    Morning, another happy money day in my house - my ebay money has arrived in my account, £40, and my aqa money, £27, and a mystery shop money, £10, all of which has been transferred across, which means I only need to find about another £20 to see off dec 2029 :j

    I also found I'd sold another buy-it-now for a tenner last night but they haven't paid for it yet :rolleyes:

    Todays plan is to go swimming and then concentrate on ds writing ;):D

    Matched betting update: I've done a bank transfer for the bookies I tried depositing at last night, should be there in a couple of days. Desperate not to lose my enthusiasm I have signed up for another bookies via quidco and have placed my qualifying bet :j :j Its only the first stage in the process but I feel SUCH relief as I have been meaning to get round to learning all this for over a year now, and finally I've made a start on it all :D:D Mortgage you'd better watch out, I'm after you big time now :rotfl: :D;)

    Which means you'll place a bet every six months !!!
    Congratulations on the mortgage payments-that is FAB !!
    I cleared out Betfair before I went away but discovered £120 sitting at another bookies that I forgot to withdraw so just need to send them ID and that's a nice bit of stake to get me back on the mb roundabout :)

    Attagirl! You're right, you need the feedback of success for each bet before you do the next one. Some of the posters at the end of last season were really piling in hard, before they understood what they were doing - and not taking their time, quite a few lost money, I think. I graduated to starting one before I finished the other at the end of last season, and I intend to be doing that all the time now, because one lot will be in sterling, the other in euros :D hopefully I won't mix them up!

    Way to go on the MB! That is on this week's to do list for me - get back down to it. I have a little collection of reload bets and a long list of new bookies to get on with and want to get going - I make no money when not matched betting! :rolleyes:

    Thanks KC and Mizmir, I am dead keen to get on with it and make some money, but I'm also a bit nervous about it all, I'm sure I'll make mistakes along the way, I just hope they're not big ones :D

    Okay, so the free bet has finished, I lost at the bookies but won at the exchange (apologies to those who don't have a clue about mb, but I think there are several people who are keen to give it a go), so, overall I am currently 50p down but now I have my 20.00 free bet to find another bet with;just got to catch up with a mate on the phone then I'm off to make some pennies ;):D
