    Mystery shops seem to have dried up round here....I've only had two or three this year, which is really poor compared with recent years. Oh well!

    I am with you on the "vegging on the sofa with a laptop" mode - I ran 14 miles this morning, and am only fit for.....well, just about nothing!!!

    Enjoy!

    Does that mean I can sneak in a piggy back off someone at the Isle of Dogs without anyone noticing.......:think:

    I did it in 1988 and there was a guy from the town I used to live in (Yeovil) that cheated one year before I ran my race. He slipped up a side street, changed into some trackie bottoms, caught a tube and surfaced sixteen miles further up the course. It was laughable really as he came back boasting of a time of two hours twenty five minutes, a blooming good time, yet in training runs, he'd only ever managed two hours for a half marathon...:rofl:

    Morning all :D I've just done another qualifier for a matched bet, not sure how big a free bet I'll get, I think its 50.00 but it may be 25.00, will hopefully find out later today.

    I did my scratchcard too and am up to 9.90 now so should be abe to withdraw a tenner in a couple of days :beer:

    Today I must upload the receipts for the mystery shops, do more washing/ironing, take mum and dad out to the beach, collect ds, keep an eye on ebay stuff finishing tonight, check how yesterdays matched bet finishes later, buy wrapping paper and wrap ex-mils present and give it to ex when I collect ds :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Gonna be a busy one today then :o

    I didn't get very far with AQA yesterday, I think I'm nearly up to 25.00 now so I must try and get some more done today, maybe aim to get to 30.00 today.

    Well this mornings been quite productive so far I've ...
    • emptied/refilled the dishwasher
    • been out and bought bread/wrapping paper / coffee (big jar on offer for 3.00 instead of 5.49 ;) )
    • put washing on
    • taken the rubbish out
    • swept the kitchen floor
    • uploaded receipts (all except one as the website is having maintenance done
    • tidied my bedroom
    • got up to 26.40 on aqa
    • wrapped mils present
    I'm very pleased with progress so far, Mum has just phoned to say they dont want to go out now as its too cold, so I have about 3 hours till I collect ds. Think I will try and do some ebaying and clean the piglets before I pick him up :D:D
