Evening Today has been a nsd and tonights matched bet has made me £36.50 :beer: Not only that but Bournemouth won again tonight, so I'm a very happy bunny

Nothing much else to report today, I went to the gym after work as I didn't go at all last week , and I'm planning on going again tomorrow night too. I did a fair bit of housework tonight too, so am trying to stay on top of it so I don't need to do loads at the weekend this week.

I found an old friend from uni on facebook tonight who i havent spoken to for 12 years and we've been chatting away all evening, its been lovely! We've arranged to meet up at the beginning of May and I'm really happy, one of those really nice feelings and no money spent too, perfect

Sorry Mart for not replying, I went to Bovington when I was about 7 and was bored silly, but I guess ds might like it so may take him there in the summer. I'm also going to take him to Beaulieu for a day as they have buses there and also you can get free re-admission up to a week later, very mse :beer: ... wheres your diary gone to??

I added the matched bet money to the pot and just need to find about 20 quid to see off 2027 :j :j

I moved house last week and I just didn't seem to get the time to update it or be very MSE really. I'll start updating it again very soon...;)

Hope the move went well Mart and you settle quickly in your new place
Today I went to the gym after work but only did 20 minutes as people were hogging the other machine I needed and I ran out of time :rolleyes: Still, 20 mins is better than nothing

I spent 5.00 in somerfield on bread / milk etc, but other than that I haven't spent anything today.

I got my new council tax stuff through today and its only gone up 2.00 a month which isn't bad at all really so am happy with that. Ds has got slapped cheek virus, he's fine in himself, a bit of a runny nose and a bit lethargic but nothing major. School said loads of them have got it and they can still go in so thats good

Hopefully he'll whizz off to the land of nod quickly tonight if he feels a bit under the weather, leaving me with an evening to catch up with stuff, heres hoping anyhow

What the hell is slapped cheek virus? Hope he's ok, bless him.

benbenandme

its like a cold virus but it looks like someones slapped him round the face He has red cheeks and its a bit rashy like on his face. Google says they're fine with it, might feel a bit headachey etc but otherwise okay. Apparently its going round the year 5/6 kids so he's probably picked it up at after school club as several of them go there, so he'll now pass it all round the lower years

Yay, a bet has made me 19.50 so we're now officially down to December 2026 :j :j That makes a total of 8 years now knocked off the mortgage, only another 13 and a bit to reach my goal

Excellent - you really are getting there - and it does SO show how much difference the little amounts make when they add up. I feel the same - I throw every £10 from scratchcards, or £3 from pine cone at the debt as it comes through - some people have said that it is not worth the effort for such a small amount, but I don't miss it as I never had it before, and the numbers speak for themselves!

Keep going :T
