Benbens moneymaking adventure

I've just added up how my matched betting has been going so far; I started in August last year, and my total so far (including casino offers) is almost £2000 :beer: :beer: I'm very pleased with that amount but I'm also very aware that there is tonnes more available to be made and I really do have to crack on with it if I want this mortgage gone

I've got 10 items on ebay tonight :j :j To be honest, I only think theres one item on there that may sell but the rest can go into the car boot sale box if they don't. Items starting at 99p aren't charged a listing fee at the moment or a gallery fee, so even if they don't sell it won't cost me anything anyway

Morning all Its not raining here today so have promised ds we'll go out somewhere, but tbh it needs to be somewhere away from the crowds of weekend tourists that have descended :rolleyes:

I also need to make a cake to take to mums tomorrow, but other than that theres not much planned here. Have a good day all

All 3 qualifying matched bets have settled and one bonus has been creditd so far and duly placed, and should bring in £18.39 profit later this evening The other two will hopefully be credited tomorrow in time for mondays footie matches. I currently have 8 watchers on the ebay items too, 4 of them on the one item I reckon has the most potential of selling

Today has been a great day, I took ds swimming as he gets it free now as part of the govt scheme and I get it as part of my gym package, so a no-spend activity for us now :T, anyhow, after 5 minutes of splashing about a bit he announced he didn't want his float and duly swam a width of the pool :j:j:j He was wearing armbands, but for him, especially as the hospital said its something he will struggle with, it was a massive acheivement I was so so proud, he then did it about 10 times then turned over and did it on his back Absolutely made my day

Well done to DS and don't be too quick to let anyone label him! he's his own wee person and just because there's a good chance he might struggle with certain things doesn't mean he definitely will. he must be really proud of himself today. I was going to put the beer smillie up there but then thought it seemed a wee bit inappropriate....

Awwww thats brilliant benben. Well done to little bean! I still remember the first time I swam. I must have been a slow learner cos I was the only one that couldn't do it and they were laughing at me. We were going to high school after the holidays and I refused to be the only one that couldn't swim and just swam!

I nearly drowned using armbands cos I didn't realise that I had to hold myself up with them - I just thought they made my whole body float. When my head went under I started to panic and just closed my eyes and hoped for the best. My sister pushed my head up out of the water....waited while I finished crying and then belted me for scaring her!!

I never was the sharpest tool in the draw! Ha ha ha. And to think I'm now responsible for educating the little dears! No wonder the country is in the state it is!!! It's my fault. Ha ha

The free bet settled and made me £18 as expected

I've made a cake to take to mums tomorrow, it looks lovely in the picture ...

Mine looks more like I've tipped a pot of chocolate custard over the top of it, runny doesn't even begin to cover it Never mind, I've bunged it all in the fridge overnight in the hope that it might set a bit :rolleyes:
