    I had to place a lay risk of £800 and my heart is still thumping from it:rotfl:

    Managed to grab a fab offer at Laddies (been holding out) for a £200 freebee which I have had to place for tomorrows races as HFX stopped my card and didnt clear it in time for todays races:mad:

    Everything should be OK............I hope:eek: (£150 + £20 if quidco coughs up)

    Thanks for the encouragement the other day BB, if I had thrown in the towel I would be kicking myself:o
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I did that too tonight Louise for the £20 profit, scary isn't it, I'll jsut be glad when the match is over and I see the money back in my account :o I'm too used to doing billys offers for a tenner bets here and there, so this week has been a bit strange but in a good way I guess :D

    I think the betfred one can be split, so you could do 10 x £10 bets if that helps?

    How glad am I that I laid my free bet as the odds at betfair have gone from 8 (when I laid it) to 700 now :eek:

    My energy thing has been done for the hips, just waiting for the searches bit to get done then I'm ready for viewings :)

    This weekend is a free listing weekend on ebay, so I want to try and get some stuff on there, no idea what yet but there must be stuff lying around that could be sold and a few pennies generated :D
