    Matched betting is much easier than it sounds which is why it is so frightning! It took me several reads to get my head round it, then i got it but thought i didn't get it because it was easy and how come i had spent so long struggling with it.

    The basic concept is, you lay chelsea at betfair (so bet again them) and you back Chelsea at somewhere like sportingbet. Then you get a free bet and do the same!

    However, it is so important to get your head round it first. I have made a couple of grand out of it over the past few years just from doing it a little, so can be a nice little money earner when done properly.

  • Hey Andan
    Thanks, i am feeling really positive, and also back on track with unit work, ive organised some revision to start this eve and do tomo. Though my sister was hungry and ate one of the spag bols i had made up!! After i had made her some for dinner!! Miss piggy!! It fed the dog too, he loved my cooking!!
    Unfortunly guys my happy pills are giving me terrible headaches and ive had to buy some decent panadol. Ill speak to doc on Monday about that!!

    Matched betting afraid not in my remit to bet!!! But i see you doing well in that! I have come up with a new idea though everyone! Rather than buy draw freshners, you know the cousions to make your knicker draw smell nice, i get the samples of perfume on their little cards and put them in instead! Its brill! Try it!
    Lilly really hope you get some good new soon, try the emergency services call centers, i work in one, good pay, overtime always and all you need is a customer service backgrounds and quick typing skills. Go for it.

    I hope you get your headaches sorted soon, as a fellow sufferer i know how frustrating they are. Keep up the positive vibe as its contagious!

    Ktjazz, glad you got your work done, despite loosing a day!

    I have just realised i have a test tomorrow of which i haven't revised. I need to know the anatomy of the ear!! However a big shout to bagpuss who sent me a book and i have just looked and it has a great detailed and clear picture, it will make revising it so much easier. Thank you bagpuss. Off to go revise now as i need to know more!!

  • I'm so relieved with myself today. I went to Tesco after work for a few things and right next door is a big new shopping centre. The I've got no-one to go out with tonight and need cheering up thought kicked in and I thought to myself I need to go shopping! Thought I would go to Zara, Debenhams and Starbucks. But then I stopped myself and remembered why I'm 31, single, having to stay with my dad as a guest due to my lovely 102% mortage and now staying as a grown up adult guest with £20K of debt!

    I don't want to be here by the time I'm 35 after all :eek:

    On the bright side, I left my job at the end of last month and now I have to sell my shares. That will give me £700 after tax and fees - that's going into my car fund! :T

    Slipped 2 days ago - bought a half price electric toothbrush because I lost mine during my move 3 weeks ago. I could have done without it but I like an electric toothbrush. No idea where it went!

    :rotfl:

    I'm glad the book came in handy Andan. Good Luck with your test:D Can I just ask with regards to matched betting as I really don't get it:o it is basically bet against a team with one bookie and bet for them with another?

  • Lily good about tax credits - and emergency funds - x odd thing to say I know but thought about car boots or something before xmas, there are usually loads, at this time of year I use to bake all week during day and then flogg a billion bits of cakes and sweeties etc and make a not bad extra bit of cash from it - its only short term but it worked for me. I used smart price stuff from asda to make the stuff - so ingredients weren't too bad, and just popped things in nice bags etc. Sorry prob sound a bit silly - xx
