    Morning all :D Holiday time and ds decided to wake up at 6:30 :eek: :rolleyes: :D
    I've had the referral money now too and I got 30.00 because of the US exchange rate ;)

    Tigz is coming over today and I'mgoing to try and explain matched betting to her, and we're taking the kids down the beach for a bit :D Tescos are delivering my shopping between 4-6 tonight,although I've already remembered a couple of bits I forgot to order :rolleyes:

    Tomorrow we're going for a nice walk with another friend and ds can ride his bike, its a really pretty walk with a nice traffic-free path so he will be fine there :D Have a good,cheap day all ;)

    Sounds like things are going reasonably well. I hope you all enjoy your weekend - the weather here is just right for walks and bike rides. (but adult ed don't seem to understand half term, so I have to go and teach today!)

    How are you getting on this week with the diet Hypno? I'm doing fine so far, but this week could be tricky as I'm not at work so theres more opportunity to snack :o but I guess theres also more opportunity to get some exercise ;):D Hows everyone else getting on too?

    Oh boy! I have *got* to stop farting around with 20p scratchcards and 70p from Vernons, and get going again on matched betting. I'm doing it next week, okay? *Please*, please put the boot in!

    We had a change of plan today as Tigz's dd was poorly, so ds and I went to Mums and he helped me clean the car, inside and out ;) Then we had some lunch and then started making a guy for bonfire night :D We've done the legs and body, he just needs a head and all the bits joining together now ;) It was really good fun and ds loved it :D

    Just had a nice warm bath and am now waiting for the tesco delivery to arrive so we can have something nice for tea.

    Sorry about today BB... I think DD is attention seeking as been to docs, nowt wrong with her tummy, had urine tested for an UTI, clear. It only hurts at night, so think she does it for attention. She did say this morning she is only playing when she says it hurts.... hmmmm

    Will def come down the next Sat you're free xx

    Morning all :D Just had a quick sort through of the bank accounts and I have 30.00 left to last until payday (friday) :eek: I will probably need to put about 10.00 of petrol in the car, but other than that I'm hoping it will be okay; we have several things planned and hopefully they'll all be relatively cheap ;) Today we're going for a nice walk / bike ride down to the beach then we're getting the little train back (about 2.00), tomorrow we're going to Moors Valley with friends (have a car park pass there so shouldn't spend anything unless ds persuades me to go on the little train), tuesday I'm going xmas shopping for the day but I have that money in a separate account and I will take a ww lunch with me ;) , thursday we haven't got anything planned during the day yet although I do have a free swim voucher, we're also going to a halloween evening which I've already bought the tickets for ;) , and friday we're doing various halloween activities then ds will go to his dads in the evening. Hopefully 30.00 will cover it for the week :rolleyes: :D:D
