    Lol SS ... I actually did have a vip slot yesterday but there was nothing there I wanted at all this time so didn't spend anything :j :j

    Have just got back from tescos having spent 40 quid :rolleyes: think I might revise my food budget a bit soon as I'm struggling to keep to £150 a month, and I tend not to buy things like fruit so I can stay in budget which seems a bit daft :o

    Just having lunch (cheese roll, salad and a belgian bun :o ), then am off to see if I can find a quick matched bet for today.

    I have finally done it - I have finally got my matched betting act together.......

    I have placed a qualifer on Northern Ireland/Poland......., although freebie isn't credited for 72 hours after my bet settles, so won't be able to report a profit for a few days!

    But at least I have made a start again - now I have to work out which are the easy bookies to do......

    Thanks, I just need to read through and find the ones I have not done before - I did all the nice easy ones when I first set out, so I need to make sure I have my head screwed on when looking at the more fiddly ones.

    Having said that, I think the one I have done today is an easy one, so maybe it is just a case of keeping my eyes open!

    I could certainly do with the money, that is for sure!

    My sister and I have decided to do a car boot sale tomorrow morning, I've spent the last hour sorting stuff out and loading up the car, I'm really not expecting to make more than a tenner as I only have complete carp to sell, anything half decent has gone on ebay, but it may hopefully clear a bit more space in the garage and will get us some fresh air ;):D I will scoot around indoors and look for some more bits tonight once ds is in bed.

    Am finally back from the car boot, it all went fine and I made £26.00 after the entrance fee so was very pleased with that, but more importantly I cleared loads of the bulkier items so the car was almost half empty on the way back :T :T However, as ds had the radio on and the boot was open (so the light stayed on) when we came to leave I had a totally flat battery :o Luckily a nice guy with a van had some jumpleads and got me going again pretty quick but it meant I've had to drive round for ages charging up the battery :rolleyes:

    Anyway, all stuff is safely back in the garage now, pennies are counted and added to the £1k challenge pot ;) and I'm off for a bath now as I feel really grubby :D:D
