There are also quite a few matched betting offers in my inbox for the premiership starting tomorrow, so need to spend some time making some pennies there too tonight

I have got a few bits done betting wise tonight but need to wait for better odds tomorrow hopefully for some more.

Mum phoned me earlier to say that Dad was really tired after today and has an awful evening, he keeps taking all his clothes off, thinks their car has been smashed up and has made a bed on the floor and keeps hiding in case the sergeant major finds him Its been a really lovely day today and I know Mum loved having a bit of normality, but they are now paying for it

I am glad you had a nice day, and although your Dad was "hard work" at the end of it, I am sure it was worth it in return for a good few hours of nice stuff during the course of the day.

I've had a lazy day today, we went to the post office and posted 2 parcels, then got a few food bits. Other than that its been playing / tidying and lots of matched betting related stuff. I have done lots of bits but haven't made a huge amount; some bits went a bit pear-shaped (but luckily didnt cost me more than a couple of quid), and some other bits don't get the free bet until next week, but basically today I have ...

• put on a £10 qualifier to get a free £10 bet on next weekends football
• played £5 in a casino (and lost) and get my £5 re-credited next week
• done 3 x 0-0 offers with overall profits only coming out at £11 as the laptop froze on one of them and I didn't get the lay bet in on time :rolleyes:
• made £4 on another free bet offer
• done another £10 bet to earn £10 casino chips next week

It doesn't look a lot but has taken quite a bit of work, although I've loved doing it, and I've also been reading up on several other offers etc.

We're just off to load the car up ready for a car boot first thing in the morning now

The bets that have already settled have been stuck into the mortgage calculator and today has seen the back of November 2023 :j :j

Car is full, it really is all old junk, I really don't expect to get much for this one, but I won't be sentimental about getting rid of any of it, most of it has been to several car boots already and the rest is stuff from our wardrobes. I haven't really tried selling clothes much before at car boots so it will be interesting to see how that goes, the one I'm going to is one of the biggest in the county and is the one I like buying at, and lots of people seem to do pretty well selling clothes there. I'm reckoning on 50p / £1 per item, my reckoning is that I probably wouldn't get 99p for it on ebay so if I can get something for it then its better than it being sat in my garage I do think I'll probably need to do another one next weekend too when ds is away as I keep finding more and more bits that can go but the car is full already

I need to have a hunt around for change tonight and take some drinks / snacks for ds as I can't leave the stall to go and get him anything once we're there. I do have tonnes of empty carrier bags with me and tonnes of coat hangers although I only have a small clothes rail, the rest will be put on the floor for rummagers Don't expect huge totals when I get back, like I said I really want to make some room in the garage and also try and get a bit of money, but it really is worthless tat

Good luck tomorrow - remember, ever penny you make is a penny you don't have to find for the mortgage in the future!

I was thinking it was really quiet on here tonight, thanks for posting Hypno Yeah you're right, even though I think its all tat that;) might be a good thing as sometimes when you think its worth a bit more you don't end up selling it because you still have emotional attachment to it. My stuff is all carp that anyones welcome to, and if they want to pay me some money for the privilege of having it then so much the better

Have been reading you thread for a while now with great interest just wanted to suggest that if you haven't got any room for all your clothes when I went to a car boot last week someone there used baskets one for trousers, one for tops etc. Hope this helps
