    How did DS get one today? Keep meaning to ask is that book useful?

    My car is on ebay.... just hope it goes! Costs more to keep advertising it etc.

    Yeah today was fine, all they did was get him to play with some lego, thread some beads and do one of those tap-a-shape pictures :rolleyes: I could've done it all at home with him, they didnt make notes or anything, but I guess there was a reason :D

    I did read the book but have forgotten most of what it said :o We have a book we have to read for this parenting course too, a chapter a week, and I do read it but can never remember a word of it when we all discuss it :o:D

    We've just got back from the beach. We nipped down after school for an hour and the car park man was just going home as we got there and let us in for free :beer: We then went to the chippie for tea (£2.85) for sausage and chips, and am now off for a bath.

    Spent £1.50 on cake earlier :o but no other spends today. Am now up to 21 watchers on my ebay items with 3 days to go.

    I did a bit of planning in a lesson today and have figured out some targets to keep me on track for my 2009 aims. Basically I need to focus on ebay / mystery shops / surveys etc for another month or two until the footie season kicks in again, then go mad on the matched betting again :D

    Things generally seem to be going according to plan then benben! Keep the focus and you will get there - are you setting yourself a "summer hols challenge" again this year?

    Yep I will be indirectly Hypno, when I added up what I reckon I need to get by when I basically need to generate just under £1000 over the summer holidays, so that will be like a mini-target for me ;) I shall post more details once I've refined it a bit more :D

    RMy bath is done and I feel more human again now, I even managed tro get my eyebrows into some sort of order too :D

    Ooooh I'll join you again in a summer hols challenge - but don't think I'll be making anywhere near £1000:eek: I must, must, must get my head round the MB....I'm running out of stuff to ebay:D
    I really need to sort out a new signature!
