The ultimate incentive worked! Now onto phase two

Wah, it's not fair, I've been eating loads of Galaxy as well!

I'm always tempted by Matched Betting too but the fact that the first post says something like - 'print off the guidelines and read them 10 times, then read them again, then go careful!' sort of scares me. Betting stuff bamboozles me too; my granny can work them all out in her head in seconds it's scary!

I'm going to go with a £10 bet first, so at worst if I mess up I will loose about £20. They all seem to make so much from it, seemed like something I really ought to try.

You'll have to let us know how you get on with it Dinah, it is something i have always thought about but im too scared!!

I keep thinking about MB but that post scares me too! I don't have a very good attention span, especially when I'm reading something I don't get so I still haven't made it all the way to the end of the guide!

Urgh, work are talking about the councils emergency planning measures for flu outbreaks, it's terrifying how underresourced everyone is for something like this.

Trying to get OH into MB, he can do all the little sums ect in his head (he's a bookie, you'd hope so!) I'll stick with the classic spreaders and catchers though! Well, if that's the proper name for them.

Good luck with it though Dinah, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it!

We've just got a new faxer/copier/scanner/printer in the office (ooooo, excitement!) I want to fax someone!

Dinah, you've got more sig than post! I like your new challenges - I'm exactly the same about MB, I feel peeved that I don't really get it, but I guess it takes perseverance. I'm looking forward to hearing how you get on!

I'm off to try and win a book! Can you do it via the website or do you have to eat the chocolate? Not that it's a problem...

Tete_en_l'Air

It's no purchase necessary Poddle, if you put your email add into the site it sends you a code by email. I like to eat the chocolate too, for a two-pronged attack, y'know...

You should definatly get OH into it Cinny - you could get yourself a nice little income there!!

Im just listing some more stuff on ebay. I feel really ashamed of myself, i just found a pair of jeans from river island with the tags still on that i paid £44.99 for (pre MSE days!) and a pair of new look jeans which we're £30 and again have never been worn, there not even my size!!

Know that feeling Flower, right at the start of my DFW-ing I thought I was doing good by getting a pair of size 8 short DP jeans that I would 'fit eventually' on sale £10 down from £35. The fact that even though I'm a 10 now down from a 12, I'm never going to be a short down from a tall so they were always a mad purchase!

Cinny you should try to be more persuasive with talking your OH into MB - sell it as an easy way to clear his debts without sacrificing bits of his lifestyle.
