    Evening everyone :D 10p on the scratch's today, sevearl surveys in my inbox to be filled in tonight, I went to the gym after work and ds is at mums tonight. I also nipped over to M&S and returned a few bits that I got in the sales as they're not quite right. I've had my bath and am about to get into bed with the laptop. In good news today I was accepted for a mystery sho that I will need to do each month for 12 months, (£5 a time) and its at my local supermarket, so I go there most weeks anyway so won't be a problem at all :T A few watchers on ebay now but still no bids :o

    The £10 a day challenge really sin't going too well so far, it should be up to £200 today to be on track :o then again, I did expect to fall behind in places and hopefully I'll make up the difference in the school holidays and also once the car boot season starts up again.

    I have spent £1.99 on a book from ebay, its about buying shares, something I've often wondered about but don't know where to start. May be another possible route to look into for some pennies :rolleyes: :)

    Thanks! Expecting it to grind to a halt soon enough though, as i left my job on 14th.

    Might take a leaf out of your book and try some matched betting. Been meaning to do it for such a long time, so now i have no excuse. Need someone to supervise me though! Not had the best background with the slots :o

    I've been trying to help a real-life friend with m. betting. They don't live near me so we've been doing it via emails and tbh has been a bit of a nightmare :o I understand the process but am not very good at explaining everything to someone who's not there if that makes sense :) However, the guys on the help thread at the top of the giol board anre fab if you need help. Feel free to ask anything here but they may be more help to you than I could be :)

    Especially hard for somebody who doesnt usually gamble, or understand odds etc, too i bet!
    I understand it and OH had dabbled in it, so knows what he's doing, so there's really no reason why we've been this useless up until now lol. But i will defo make sure i take full advantage of all the help available. I dont think you can ever be too confident with it.
  • Hi BB, just caught up with the two weeks of your life. Sorry to hear about your nan (((bighugs))). Also when you mentioned about DS helping out with the mortgage payment, that sounded so cute. I can't imagine my DS saying that. Good luck with the new men in your life, hope it leads to a few dates or more!

    Hello :) Today was a fantastic day at the museum, the kids behaved impeccably, even the coach driver said its the only school party he's ever taken anywhere and not had a scrap of litter on the coach, they really were amazing :T :T The museum was great fun but I am knackered tonight :o

    I did spend about £9 today, (£6 lunch and £3 on an explorers hat for ds). I have done another p*cone survey tonight so thats another £4 on its way in a day or two ;) NOthing much else to report, ds is off to his dads again tomorrow night and i have a mystery shop to do tomorrow once he's gone.
