    Glad you solved that one yourself. Really wasn't sure what to suggest.

    Lol... im terrible. I really really do want a car, but as I dont need it to get to and from work, i dont NEED one, you know?

    And as for Christmas I will just have to play Father Christmas a few days before on the bus! :rotfl: And then have a nice Christmas morning walk to family. And then at least I can have a cheeky tipple i suppose. ;)

    I have just listed a few more items on ebay. Fingers crossed they sell. :o

    I might wrap them up ready now, just in case... or is that tempting fate? :rotfl:

    I was going to say if you don't have a car at xmas you can then drink more lol.

    I wouldn;t wrap them until they have bids on but that's just me lol

    Have place a bet for a profit of £33 which should settle tonight, then I can see where all my money is

    Dunno about the Boots catalogue, I try not to go in there too often lol.

    I read and read and read the threads on matched betting until I understood it. It's actually not that difficult once you grasp the concept of it

    Hmmm im not sure on matched betting.

    I might give it another read (and another etc.) over christmas when i have some spare time (and cash!).

    I have just withdrawn some money from my scratch cards. Only one though, so that I dont get "found out" :p

    And that £100 i won on Friday is still to hit my account. Looks like it might be a good month for my CC. :D
