Benbens moneymaking adventure

benbenandme

Just submitted my meter reading and my payments have dropped from £71 a month to £59 :beer: They were £41 before xmas so it looks like I'm getting back on track

I have been going through my bank stuff and somehow have ended up with more money than I should have :rolleyes: I will look again later once ds is asleep so I can concentrate better

I have cancelled the pcworld insurance thing I took out with the new laptop (£8 a month, only paid one month), I have also cancelled my Weightwatchers subscription(£18 a month), I haven't been for a few weeks, I have all the stuff at home, and I am more motivated by the gym so hopefully the ewight loss will follow as a result of that

I'm also planning on sorting out my mobile contract tonight, hopefully making some money there too I just feel at the moment like I've lost focus with it all, I haven't done any aqa for ages, I have hardly done any matched betting for a couple of weeks and I need to get the mortgage down to £46k by June 1st when my new mortgage should hopefully kick in ... hopefully once I know where I really am with the accounts and I sort out the phone contract etc I may get going again

Hey BB... who is your gas/elec with?I'd love an account that tells me when my payments can reduce(hopefuly) when I submit meter readings.

Are you free next fri? xx

I'm with scottishpower Tigz, and they're doing £100 for today only on quidco

Yeah I think I am free next friday, ds will be going to his dads at tea-time so I can come over if you like and then I can meet his dad over that way somewhere, or if not we can come back and he can just collect him from here like normal

Morning all Another sunny day here so far! This morning we're going to make easter cards and decorations, then this afternoon ds is going to mums for a sleepover, I'll be off to the gym then I have the dentist first thing in the morning I'm getting seriously scared already, I absolutely hate the dentist with a passion, but I really have to go

I'm aiming for a nsd today and also will try and fit in some moneymaking today. I have decided I should concentrate just on matched betting at the moment as my float will all need to be paid into the mortgage next month before the new mortgage starts, so I will need to build it up again after that which will limit the amount of m betting I can do for a while. Luckily that will be the end of the footie season so it will give me a couple of months to rebuild it a bit before we start all over again

I have spent the afternoon at mum and dads, mum rang me in tears earlier, she can't cope with dad anymore, we're still not sure if its his medication or dementia, but she was ready to walk ...

Anyhow, she has finally got through to a couple of his nurses and also social services who are coming round to assess him for respite care I'm taking him tomorrow to meet my brother and he'll stay with him till the weekend to give mum a couple of days break

Tonights plan is to sort out my mobile contract, tomorrow I'll try and get some matched betting done but that may have to wait now as I may have dad for the day till I meet my brother.
