Once its all done it should net me about 75.00 profit :beer:

Just done another 100.00 bet, again which will settle this afternoon, then I can re-use that money on the next lot of bets. I'm hoping to get this offer finished this week then it will be on to the next

Blimey, you're really getting into the matched betting, aren't you! Well done!2023: the year I get to buy a car0

Thanks KC, I just compare the money I can get from matched betting to my wages at work ... it just seems a no-brainer now I've got the hang of it, if I do an hour of AQA I earn about 5.00, or if I spend an hour finding a bet I can earn 20 / 25 / 50 quid, depending on the offer
I need to track how much I've done so far from it later, will add that to my list for today

I absolutely agree with you. I'm a bit confused about *me* not doing it - I think I get overtaken by little tasks, and forget to do the big ones. Must give myself a good shake! I'm off to get ready to go out now, so I'll see you later, have a good one.

Was having a think about stuff again last night and deided that as much as I can be quite organised and focused on money, the one area I have never been in control of is my weight. Its one of those thigs thats always bugged me but I've never totally dealt with, I lose a bit, put it back on, lose it again, put it back on etc etc. Ayway, now is another of those losing it times, or at least, I hope it will be
I'm going to rejoin weightwatchers, a la Hypno, I've tried sticking to it at home (I've got all the stuff already), but I need the incentive of having to go and be weighed
They are doing a good deal online which is 18.00 a month but that includes the meetings too (normally 5.50 a week I think), and tbh, I'll save that much in sweets and choccy
I've been to tescos and spent 43.00 :eek: (was only planning on spending about 25.00), but that included loads of fruit and veg and fresh fish etc, why is healthy stuff soooo much more expensive than junk? :rolleyes:
Anyway, will keep you all updated on progress, I reckon I've got just under 2 stone to lose, but will see what their scales say (they always make me heavier than mine at home)
