    Just have to be careful as you are betting in € so make sure you do the conversion or you might lay too much.

    £48 arrived in my account this morning from some mystery shops I did in August, moved across to the mortgage pot and that has seen the back of August 2023 :T :T Payday on wednesday so hopefully that will get nrid of that month quite quickly too :D

    10p and 10p on the scratchies today, nothing much else to report so far, I'm planning on going to the gym after school tonight as I didnt have a very good ww weekend as it was mums birthday, and she doesnt believe in eating anything unless it has huge amounts of sugar involved :rolleyes: :o

    My id has been verified at that bookies so I will start looking for some bets later, although theres no rush as I cant withdraw from there for a couple of weeks anyway.

    Postie brought me my vitamin E cream today, think I might keep one and put one away for mum for xmas.

    Last night I sorted out loads of paperwork stuff and managed to get over half a bin liner full of paperwork to be burnt :D Tonight I must clean the guinea pigs as well as hoovering through and possibly doing a few bits of ironing before the iron gets put away :rolleyes: :D
    Today has been a nsd (with no intention of going out again today) :D

    Next time I say I'm not going out again / having a nsd, please ignore me, I talk rubbish :D

    Ds wanted to watch a dvd, and as our player packed up I have been letting him watch them on the laptop, only now thats decided too it doesnt want to play them anymore, so rather than spend hours trying to figure out what was wrong with the drivers etc, I nipped down to sainsburys and got a new dvd player. I was planning on getting one at the weekend after the tv comes, so it wasnt exactly unplanned, just wasnt expecting to get one quite so soon :rolleyes: Anyway, I got a Sony one for £37 which seemed pretty good, I've had a couple of the supermarket £20 ones and they only last about a year, so hopefully this one will last a bit more :D Maybe next time I'll get a recordable one but for now its just really for ds to watch his dvds on.

    I've just placed a bet towards that bookies Tallgirl, and managed to find an arb, so £150 on it which should make me £7 profit, leaving me £300 to wr if I dont bust out :D (I set up my account in £'s, I know you get a bit more bonus in euros but I'm happier working in £'s) ;)

    Just picked up a mystery shop for a couple of weeks time (£5 and £3 goods), and also checked my quidco / topcashback accounts; I have nearly £200 of stuff thats supposed to pay out at the end of september, but only £3 received so far :mad: :mad: Several bits have already rolled over from previous months and look like doing so again.

    Guinea pigs all cleaned and smelling decent again :rolleyes: :D Ds unifrom all ready for the morning, I'll do packed lunches in the morning, not enough room in the fridge for them tonight. Ds swimming stuff is ready by the front door for tomorrow with his school bag.

    I am actually starting to feel slightly more organised at the moment, I need to keep going with this while the momentum is there ;) Seeing as I'll probably spend a fair bit of saturday indoors waiting for my new tv, I may sort through my present cupboard then and list / clear / ebay etc bits that have sat in there for ages and ages and make some room for new bits that I may actually give to someone instead of storing in my bos for ever more :o

    Aaagh, the arb I thought I found earlier turned out to be a near miss mistake ... luckily having been chatting to a very helpful and womderful m.b. friend on here, he pointed out that i'd actually bet on 2 different matches :eek: Luckily, being the all round star that he is, he managed to sort it so that tomorrows match is balanced out and I need to lay sturdays match at betfair still but the odds are awful at the moment, need to wait till nearer the match :o Thank God for the wonderful people on here :T :T :T
