    rummaging under bushes, to find discarded Corona bottles that you could take back to the shop for the deposit back....

    penny sweets weren't even that - they were 3 for a penny!

    Loving the amended list Nargleblast - much much more realistic.

    I have done my run - only 5.5 miles, but in the most foul weather possible, so I am sure it was the equivalent of 10 miles :rolleyes:

    Hope you are all having a good day!

    One step forward, two steps back here :o

    When the going gets tough......

    I'm going shopping with my Christmas vouchers. :D
    And I've just been to the Post Office to collect my Mothering Sunday card (£1.06 :mad: for a 6p short paid :mad: :mad: + one week to get here :mad: :mad: ) and it has a £10 Next card in it :j :j


    DS1 is forgiven

    I took the £10 boots voucher I found when I was clearing out, and bought some perfume yesterday......it didn't cover the entire cost, but it went a good way towards it, so I thought it was justified.......far better than using it for toothpaste, sanitary towels and foot cream........:rolleyes:

    So, happy shopping OO :T

    OK......so I have finally dipped my toe back in the matched betting water.......


    I have not only read through the guff again, but I have placed my qualifier......Hopefully it will kick start my moneymaking enthusiasm.

    As I was running today, I was thinking about MSE "stuff", as you do. I was a bit bothered by the fact that I have lost interest in surveys, mystery shopping etc. Then I realised that I have been mystery shopping and doing lightspeed etc since 2002!!! So, after 7 years of it, I am bound to be a bit bored! 7-year-itch type thing I reckon!

    So I don't feel guilty that I am not getting excited over mystery shops or lightspeed surveys at the mo. But it does mean I need to get my act together elsewhere otherwise how is the money going to come in to clear the debt.......Hence the matched betting again - hopefully I can get myself back on track!
