    Hmmm, can't help thinking I might not have a credit card to pay off and I might have a new kitchen...

    Am secretly hoping I will be so good at it I can give up work:o :rotfl:Or get my house deposit together very quickly at least:D

    Yes, £50 to £100. It's a pain but unavoidable I'm afraid. Here you read this thread yet? :)http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=325861

    I have read it several times, but not recently. It was that thread that put me off, I just could not grasp it at all:o I will have another read of it at the weekend and make some notes. Hopefully a bit more of it will sink in.:rolleyes:

    Gwendoline I have edited my reply to you above as I forgot to reply to most of what you said..! This is because I was busily berating myself for spending 61p on Mini Cheddars from the vending machine.

    Mini cheddars - yum. At least you didn't spend 5 pounds on postage today. I hate paying for postage. It's like car tyres, you see nothing for it :(
    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending

    Had no idea what that meant, had to google it:D Think I will have to have a read through it later, I can definitely think of a few things I can get for £50k:D

    The main thing is that you are aware of matched betting and willing and able to give it a go, which already means you're ahead of the game.

    I have some stuff I want to get out of the way next week, then I can relax for a week.

    Please nag! I need it, but next week :)

    So am I nagging next week or the week after? Please let me know so I can put it in my diary :)

    Most people have to read it many times and then eventually it clicks. Gwendella will back me up I'm sure :)

    True - 61p though! The vending machine people are robbers :mad:

    That has taken him four years though! Can we lower our ambitions a bit please and focus on the bit where he says "£31 profit this week"? :)

    He, he! Put in mild nagging for next week and major-getting-on-my-case nagging for the week after ;)

    I know, but it's quite inspirational to read! 31 pounds would be good...any extra money would be good...it's all going to pay off my credit card.
