Benbens moneymaking adventure

benbenandme

Been thinking some more about the gym and I am really keen but I know what I'm like for not sticking at stuff, but if I lose another 3.5lbs at WW then I'LL be at my goal weight and won't need to pay anymore, so will save 18.00 a month there, so its only really 12.00 a month to find which is nothing really especially as ds will be able to swim for free too. So I think my plan is to get to goal weight asap at WW, try and do some exercise in the mean time, and then go along and see whether to join

I went swimming again this morning while ds was in his lesson, I did 20 lengths but was starving when I got out and had some of my dads birthday cake

Postie brought me my clubcard vouchers today (10.00), and no further letters from tax credits The rest of today will be doing housework / ds homework, and then he's going to his dads tonight and I'm going out with mates from work for dinner and then drinking

Morning all Had a lovely night out last night with friends from work, spent far too much though, especially as I wasn't even drinking as I was driving :rolleyes: Didn't wake up till 10am today so have loads to do and have missed half the day already

I have done a couple of matched bets for todays footie, and have one more to do tonight when they've settled. These should end up getting me about 35.00 - 40.00 :beer:

I got all my ironing done yesterday, so the jobs list for this weekend isn't too bad:

• food shopping
• return a library book
• hoover
• clean guinea pigs
• take rubbish out

Actually thats not bad at all

Morning!
Not a bad list at all;) Glad you had a good night out, I've forgotten what it's like to go out! Mind you, with the cold nights recently I'm happy staying in!

I really must get reading the MB stuff again - I think I understand it all, it's just where to put your money and how to go about the betting bit that scares me:eek: I'm doing ok with my ebaying, but running out of decent stuff to sell, so I do need to find another way of making a few pence.

Milly I can take you through the m b stuff if you want me to before you get started or the guys on the 'ask any questions'thread at the top of the giol board are stars

Aaah thank you:p
I think I'll re-read the pile of printouts again this week and maybe think about having a go next weekend:o The girls are out all day next Sat, at a cheerleading competition, so will have hours to myself to concentrate;) I might have a few questions for you this week then....:D

I'm just sat by the back door, sun streaming in, it's sooo lovely knowing Spring might be on it's way:T Definitely cheers you up:beer:

I got some of the jobs done today, but not all The matched bets made me 36.00 but I haven't done the banking yet and its not gonna make pretty reading, I've spent sooo much money this week, at least being back at work tomorrow will stop me spending money :rolleyes:

Ds has gone to sleep in his own room tonight, the first time for weeks. since the nights when it went on for hours ... I stayed in their with him till he was asleep but he was asleep by 8.10pm which is very good news :T

This week may be fairly hectic, I have a school disco on tuesday, then a friends birthday on thursday where we're going for a takeaway at hers, then a school disco at ds's school on friday where I may help out or I may book a tour of the gym while I've got a spare couple of hours

pixiechick99

I thought the same about going back to school - at least it'll stop me spending:eek:
I'm off on a Yr2 trip to te farm, wellies are ready - what a 1st day back;)

Have a good day back at work...I'm off for an early night ready for the 6.30am start:eek:
