Thankyou WS, I did another one which didn't work out but I didn't make a loss either so no harm done
One more to do later this evening, probably only a few pounds there as well but it all helps

Well the tiredness caught up iwth me and I have doing absolutely nothing this afternoon other than the bets
I've just had pie and chips from the chippie, am going to go for a bath in a bit and am having a very early night then hopefully I'll catch up with my sleep tonight
Tomorrow is another day after all, the mystery shop has been rescheduled for monday morning instead as I'm too tired tonight.

Thank you EH, I've just had a lovely bath and used some new smellies I got for xmas and feel almost human again now
It would have been really relaxing if I hadn't been playing battleships at the same time
Pj's are on and its almost bedtime. Ds keeps asking me if I've got him a valentines card as he made me one in his bedroom today
Just checked and the other bet can't be done until tomorrow afternoon, I'm so tired its a good thing as I probably wouldn't be concentratingMortgage Total: £51,549 / £75,000

Well we went to sort the garage and actually its not that bad to start with. I swept it out and filled a bin liner of rubbish but most of the rest of it in there is fine. It basically falls into one of several categories; (a) car boot sale stuff (could do with going through all the boxes and getting it sorted out ready for once they start up again), (b) ds outdoor toys / bikes etc, (c) general garage stuff (garden chairs, tools, brooms etc) and (d) stuff to be freecycled/tipped (old tv/ base of old sofa etc). Most of this last category is too big/heavy for me to get in the car so will need to think more about that one. The car boots stuff will be sorted one weekend when ds is at his dads, maybe even this sunday, so I can do it without him wanting to keep everything
So we're back indoors, the place looks worse than ever for some reson, yesterday it didn't look too badI have an afternoon of pottering while watching the footie planned

Have done a half hour mad blitz and the kitchen / bathroom / my bedroom are all looking presentable again (still need a good clean though). Instead of doing the lounge snd ds bedroom (he's far too busy playing and making more mess at the moment for it to be worth my while), I'm going to sit on the sofa and get some bits on ebay while watching the footballMortgage Total: £51,549 / £75,000

Grrr, for the second day in a row I would have done better to mug my bet, it would have got me £65 today
But, it does go totally against the matched betting principles and I could very easily have come away with nothing
