Benbenandme's Coffee Shop ... All welcome!

Well I'm really not doing well at this updating lark at the moment am I? Today I had a lie-in, did a mystery shop, collected ds then went to mums for dinner. Have only spent £3.50 today and I get £3 of that reimbursed from the mystery shop anyway

I have spent lots of time doing matched bets, all in the hope of getting enough points to get ds an ipod for christmas. Unfortunately though I think I'll have to settle for the next prize down which is an England cricket shirt, thank God they won today it might help the ebay price a bit

I have no idea of where my bets have left me today, I know I made a bit on some of them but I also lost a couple of pounds on some of them too. Its payday on friday so I will get everything straight by then. I am planning on a bit of a financial audit this week, I will empty all my various bookies accounts back into my current account and see exactly whats what

Following on from the last post I am going to wait for a couple of bets to settle tonight then move all the money in bookies accounts back into my current accout. It may mean not much happens in the way of matched betting for a day or two but I really must get on top of my money again

Today we have been to Tescos (£41) and posted an ebay parcel (76p), otherwise a nsd so far My nephews came over this afternoon and have played with ds for a few hours which was nice.

I have written myself a nice long list of jobs to do before we go back to school, dull things like tidying cupboards mainly, but proper stuff like getting ds haircut too. I need to get at least one job done every day but am hoping to blitz a few of the little ones so the list doesn't seem so bad

Just opened another account at a bookies and put on a bet which should give me a free £50 bet tomorrow

Sorry, ought to explain, the Body Shop bit refers to a loyalty card thing I have that gives me a free £5 gift in my birthday month, so need to use that this week, and the jewellery bit is because I have a huge tub full of necklaces / rings etc and they're all getting tangled up, so I'm going to sort them into a small box of rings and get a pretty noticeboard or something to hang the necklaces on, anyone got any better ideas for them??

Benben if you don't want the necklaces on show you could hang them over a coathanger hook and have them in the wardrobe?

You clearly haven't seen how squashed full my wardrobe is :rotfl::D

Mmm that could make it complicated :rotfl:

Actually I'm loving the notice board idea

on the test fire bit alarm the firemen that came into work suggested that you give it a birthday and test/change battery if needed then so you never forget - obviously not your own birthday cos you probably have better things to do but mine shares a birthday with bezzie mate!
