    Ds is having a lazy chilling out day today so I've managed to get a few bits done ;) I've just done another matched bet qualifier which will give me a free £10 bet before the weekend :D

    I'm getting there with the finances too, will hopefully be able to report back later with the findings :D After lunch we might go swimming and then ds is going to mums for a sleepover tonight, giving me a chance to get the place straight (yet again :rolleyes:).

    Hi benbenandme,

    Just found your diary, will *ahem* try and catch up with the 90 pages, might be a work in progress though. You sound like you live in a lovely place, ah to be on a beach right now x

    Welcome Swinstie :D , a quick review for you if you don't fancy reading thw whole lot ... it probably started with a things to do list, housework, some matched betting, more lists, chocolate, ironing, start a diet, more matched betting, more chocolate, more lists .... and here we are at todays posts ;):D

    Ds and I went swimming after lunch and he loved it again, might try and fit in one more go tomorrow, but he has gone to my mums for a sleepover tonight and then she's taking him to a garden centre that has model trains in the morning (and I get a lie-in :j). When he comes back he needs his haircut but then if theres time we'll squeeze in another swim.

    He only went 20 minutes ago but the place looks much tidier already :D I've cleared most of the obvious mess, the kitchen is done, the bathroom still needs cleaning but overall the flat is probably about 80% done. I will do a bit more tonight but want to get a couple more bets on tonight, then will do the rest of the housework over the weekend when he's away at his dads.

    I sold a buy-it-now tonight for £3.99, and also had a free bet credited which should make me £7.00 tomorrow night :D I have also joined another mb site and put my qualifying bet on, should get me a free bet of £25 tomorrow night too ;)

    I've just managed to grab 2 mystery shops for this weekend, one for tomorrow night at a pub and one for saturday at a supermarket. Both are ones that are past their date so have extra fees attached :beer: In total I will need to spend £11 and altogether I will get £32 back as well as £6 of drinks and £5of food :D:D

    I'm seriously wondering whether to give up AQA :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Its only 30p per question and it is sooo dull :o BUT, it is work that is always available if I want to do it :rolleyes: At the moment I'm having problems logging in to it, I reinstalled it all yesterday but its not working again today, I just don't know whether its worth the hassle of reinstalling it again. You do have to do some each month or they terminate you, and my last review (last week) said if my %age doesn't go up then I may be terminated anyway :o:eek:

    I know there is loads more money available via matched betting, its just what if I get lazy with that too :o:o Hmm, will think some more about it tonight ;)

    Aaah wish I could get started with the MB, after all my ebay stuff has gone I'll need some way of generating a bit of extra cash:p
    I really need to sort out a new signature!
