    Ah yeah good point.... hope you get lots of interest in it. Can't wait til we're in a position to move... have been looking at exchanges but it's a scary world!!

    8 items listed on ebay, not sure if any of it will go but my logic is every bit I can sell is one less thing to box up and take with us :D

    Thats a good philosophy BB:D

    Jeez the odds are crapola for the first try scorer with WH:eek:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I've noticed that too.....might be a case of get what you can.

    My "in play" for my £5 on the Ireland Scotland, could net me a whole £1 or so......so at the moment I have mugged it.......not got a lot to lose really, as I only lost 50p on the qualifier.

    Its a game all this, isn't it!!

    Well I had to go for 13/18.5 for a £3.56 profit overall as I need to go out now and dont know if I will be back before KO, better than nothing and still have a £10 freebie for tomorrow:) thats another first scorer market though.

    Right, thanks to scotland winning so far, I have managed to match it for over £5 profit, so am happy with that for a free £5 bet :)

    Now to look for the France one.......

    Every one of my bets today has gone the way of the bookies - typical!!

    Betfair is becoming a bit of a drain on my resources as I have to keep topping it up :o

    Im just waiting for the rugby one to settle tonight then am going to try and make some sense of where my money is right now :o

    I've jsut got back from Sainsburys, decided to tackle the food shopping tonight so I can have a lazy morning tomorrow before ds comes home. Anyway, managed to spend £40 quite easily, but did get a few super-duper bargains while I was there; a pack of 4 wine glasses for £3.24 reduced from £12.99 (I don't have any as i dont drink wine, but my mates always laugh when they come round and get their wine in a 1/2pt tumbler :rotfl:; 2 x a4 pads for 50p each; 2 x pretty boxed stationery sets reduced from £4.99 to 65p (ds teachers at the end of term ;)), and a princes colouring book for my niece for 37p (reduced from £1.99) :D I also got 3 95p flake easter eggs, for ds and my nephews for Easter, but they will live in the boot of the car for a while so I'm not tempted ;)

    Just had a phonecall from ds in tears, saying he misses me and wants to come home :(:(:(:( His dads trying to talk him round but he was like this the other night when he was supposed to be staying at my mums and she had to bring him home :(:( He's going to try for another half an hour to get him to bed and if he doesn't calm down then he'll bring him home :o:o Its the most horrible feeling knowing he's feeling really sad and wants to be at home and he's stuck 60 odd miles away :mad:
