    No I haven't had the time to source any new bets. I really have done most of the easy ones now so it's all a bit harder to come across. Am waiting for some money t settle back in my account and I'll look around for a new bookie or offer.

    Hiya yb
    You have nearly paid off half of your loan. Well done. And that's a good saving on the interest too, thanks to your hard work.
    Glad to read your toothache has eased off, fingers crossed on that one.
    I am counting the days til payday now - super skint like yourself. Had a few days away from the computer and I could feel myself losing a bit of the determination, but it's back again now!

    Glad to hear your determination is back. I keep thinking I could do with some time off but I know what will happen if I go away from the site, it wont help my totals at all lol.

    I haven't listed on ebay for a few days so am letting all my listings run out now. Need to have a proper sort through and find new bits and charity shop some of the tat that keeps spinning round and round on ebay.

    So tired this week though, have a week off next week so may be more productive then.

    If you're feeling tired maybe swapping to a slightly different challenge or focus would help?

    Lol yea that might be nice but wouldn't make my bank balance any healthier would it lol.

    I'm about to attempt a meal plan for the next month starting from 20th aug. I am going to head over to the OS board for some ideas and tips. Perhaps the food budget will be my focus for the next month, and maybe a bit of matched betting.
  • Hi Yukkibear!

    Have you done match betting before? Its something I'd like to try but I've never actually gone ahead and tried it.

    Your totals are looking good btw, every time I come on you are getting it down more and more!

    Good idea with meal planning, think I might join you there. I thought you were quite good with your planning and organising for meals yb, I seem to remember you making yummy hm pizzas and such like. Maybe we can motivate each other with the meal planning/organisation!

    I’d be interested to hear about the matched betting too. Have often thought about sitting down and reading the thread on it, but never got round to it.
