    OMG! Just trawled through my MB accounts and I have nearly £600 in them!! How did I forget about all that??! No wonder I am broke!
    I have a WR of £150 to go on one account, £5 on two others then it should all be available. Better get cracking!
  • Wow Miz! Thats great!!!

    I really pught to sort out some spare cash and get back into the matched betting scene, its been a while :o

    Don't understand MB but that sounds good to me.

    It is easy to drop out of it - gets so tedious after the fun of the easy ones doesn't it? But I must get through these WRs and release that money - will do me to the end of the month!
  • Holey Moley, Miz. How did you forget that amount? Sounds like you have a very good Mbing account now.

    Just had to add i would have loved to borrow your dog for a walk, especially if it is the dog in your avi..i used to have one which looked just like him or her and was a cross between a collie and a whippet i reckon. We called him Minstrel, when he passed away i missed him like crazy. Seems to have the same knowing look as your dog in the avatar too. I will hunt out a photo then you can see.

    Well have done the WRs on the three accounts I think - and still have enough in BF to do my qualifiers for the two reloads tomorrow. Not a bad day - should hopefully be able to withdraw several hundred by monday! :T:T

    bob - yep that is one of the dogs - she is I think greyhound collie cross and is gorgeous.

    Hi all

    Well had a lovely news years eve then spent all of yesterday in bed with a migraine - and no not overindulgence (had a glass and a half of wine!) but realised afterwards that it was european wine which does that too me. But seriously do not want to feel that awful again so resolution number one - no more red wine of any kind at all! Is a wrench but I can't risk that happening regularly!

    Hope you've all had a more exciting start to the year! Will get back to debt busting soon but am still feeling fragile so think will get off computer for a bit.


    Sadly Miz you will be very lucky if it is only european red wine that gives you migraines. I can't have ANY red wine now as I know it is one of my triggers - i get the symptoms within 15 mins of drinking it.

    It was French specifically for some years - have been able to drink "New World" reds with no problem at all and was generally OK with the odd Spanish or Italian. Sadly however I think I am becoming more intolerant - I have noticed getting some symptoms with any red of late and indeed some white - and after NYE have pretty much decided it is safer to give up wine altogether. I haven't had a migraine as bad for some months and that was was seriously stress induced! :( So it'll be beer or soft drinks for me - with maybe the odd G&T! :D

    Going to be brief this morning - last day of my holiday so lots to do to get ready to go back to work! Already have my plan of the day - have done it in hourly slots like appointments - will see if that helps me keep on track or drives me crazy!

    So things to do today:
    • [STRIKE]Make plan for the day[/STRIKE] Yeah - one thing crossed off already!
    • Walk with dogs
    • Tidy kitchen and hoover through
    • Put decorations away
    • Tidy understairs cupboard
    • Do 2 matched bet qualifiers
    • Do 2 dooyoo reviews
    • Plan dates for next dog training sessions
    • Take dog training class
    • Write up notes and send to clients
    • Do meal plan for week
    • Update fitness journal
    • Get lunch and clothes ready for morning
    • Do plan for tomorrow
    Yikes - that looks a lot but most are thankfully qute small jobs! Better get cracking - have a good day everyone.

    Thats a good list! Yikes at forgetting several hundred pounds in m.b. accounts, thats definitely scary. I've abandoned my London plans and am fiddling about here, I just don't want to freeze on public transport late at night, I really can't bear the thought of it. Hope your list is going well.
