The new thread has been set up here
I spend about £2 on lunch stuff yesterday. So I am declaring £18.50 for the week which means I am finally green :j:j:j:j
I went to the dog racing with the guys from work last night and spent about £30 including dinner and bets, won a couple of races but not enough to break even :rolleyes:, as they say gambling is for fools. But it was fun to see the dogs run their little hearts out.
