    The matched bet has settled and I made 78.00 :j :j I won't be able to do another one this weekend as I won at the bookies rather than the exchange, so I have to wait for the money to hit my bank account again before I can fund the next one ;) I'm also now up to 34.20 on AQA :D

    Just off to chuck the new money into the mortgage calculator :D

  • You're really getting the knack of AQA now, I remember in the beginning you seemed to be a little reluctant to do it.

    Thats great.

    I tend to go through phases with it, it can be really tedious and 30p a question doesn't seem much compared with what matched betting can bring in, but it does all add up and if I try and do a little bit regularly then it adds up nicely ;) I think because I've given myself a target each month for it this year then I am a bit more motivated to get on with it :D

    Morning all :D I had a really good nights sleep and am feeling quite refreshed for a change this morning :rolleyes: I think today will mainly be a housework / catching up kinda day, I dont think there will be too much money making goin on here after last nights efforts :D I have already put a qualifying bet on a match this afternoon and am limited on mb'ing till the funds arrive back in my account, I will try to get to 50.00 on aqa though today.

    So, aims for today:

    Blitz the flat totally to within an inch of its life :eek:
    Food shopping
    Collect library book
    Washing mountain
    Check clubcard stuff to see if I've got enough vouchers for a couple of days at Butlins at half-term

    Think I might even get dressed now and go and get the food shopping don before it gets too busy, I hate supermarkets at weekends ;)

    Sainsburys is done, it was lovely and quiet in there, the old folk round here don't venture out much when its cold ;) I did spend 68.00 though :eek: :mad: (budget was 37.00 :o:o ), but this did include 2 storare crates with lids for ds room (5.00), a necklace for sil birthday (reduced to 4.00) which will come from my present fund, new wellies for ds (3.00), and loads of stuff I've stocked up on that were half price that will keep (butter, tampax, squash, crisps, philly), but even so,it was still a long way over budget :o:o

    I'm just having a quick coffee and a pain au chocolat :o then I will nip to the library to get the book, then back home in the warm to start the marathon spring clean :D:D

  • Wow I'm impressed you've done the food shopping already!!!!
    I'm still trying to get my 2 darlings to go and get dressed!!! I'm taking them to gym in about 20mins, then to my friends for a quick cuppa while they're there, then home and ex will pick them up (hopefully but usually late!) at 1ish....then on my own at last:p

    I have a big list of to-do's and I even re-read MB stuff in bed and I think I may be ready to have a go at choosing a trial bet:eek: We shall see.........!!!

    Have a good day:D
    I really need to sort out a new signature!
