beware... the last time I got a parcel unexpectedly it was food for a fictional puppy...:o... I think I got piggy points for it or something... passed it on to friend with actual puppy... mine was called Toby:D

Kittikins

Lol, lovely name for your puppy

I've just remembered what it's going to be...DD's K0nfidence jacket for swimming, v. cheap from eb*y, I really hope I can pick it up as she'll want it for Cornwall.

Evening all One more day until half-term for me, ds has an inset day tomorrow so he's already on holiday. I only have half a day at work though tomorrow as I have to go to the hospital for an appointment for ds.

I have just ordered a lego dumper truck from the tesco deal on the grabbit board, £3.97 for a £14 lego model, will be useful for someone for xmas

Can't wait for the holidays to get cracking on sorting my finances etc, I have made a list of stuff to do during the week off, not necessarily all exciting stuff but I am looking forward to it all the same

• Swimming (free for both of us)
• Cinema: Fantastic Mr Fox (we've been re-reading the book and ds can't wait to see it)
• Make / write xmas cards (practicing ds writing skills )
• Xmas shoeboxes
• Afternoon playing with 2 x cousins
• Halloween teaparty with Tigz and dd
• Dentist appointment for me (free though)
• Craft activity afternoon with ds (free again )

As you can see I'm banking on the weather being rubbish! If it does turn out nice then we will cram in some trips to the beach or the forest too. Ds will be at his dads for halloween so we will be doing halloween related activities during the week

Yay its half-term :j :j I got on fine at ds hospital appointment today, just a check on how everythings going really. Mum cooked us a roast dinner tonight which was yummy, now i'm going to get my pj's on and have an early night tonight

Ds has added a few bits he wants to do to my list, so tomorrow we will be planning the week and getting cracking on crossing some bits off the list

£10 from a betting offer that a kind friend on here helped with :T
Today I have spent £2.32 on a scrummy cooked breakfast at the hospital, 90p on some choccy and £13 on work xmas meal. 50p and 10p on the scratchcards too.

Happy half term! enjoy your break.

We have listened to Fantastic Mr Fox sooooo many times in the car..."we down here are decent, peace loving people.."

I got into bed really early tonight as I felt shattered, but somehow it is nearly 11pm and I'm still awake tootling away on the laptop :rolleyes: I have been busy sorting a few matched betting things; I have placed a free bet that should earn me £7.10 on sunday. Also another free bet that should earn me £25 on sunday. Tomorrow I need to place yet another bet on a sunday match to qualify for a free bet for next weekend, but right now i'm too tired. The offer I mentioned earlier is in 2 parts, one has been credited the other hasn't yet. Once they're in that should get me about £20 profit, so all in all a very financially productive evening

I've been credited with one part of that offer too - I was hoping they would have credited both together so I can withdraw and move on! Hopefully by the end of the day.........

I've dried up on the proper matched betting though - had a couple of "we'll refund your bet if you lose" type things which I have done, mug punting, on the basis that if I lose, I get my money back anyway......and of course I have lost, so no actual profit there at all

Must get back to M/B.......are there lots of easy offers about at the mo?

Morning Its a wet and miserable one here today, think we'll be having a housework / indoors kinda day today.

10p and 10p on the scratchcards this morning, just looking over a couple more potential matched bets, I decided yesterday at school that I'll aim to make £100 this week, and so far it seems to be going pretty well; last night I put bets on / got bonuses etc that should bring in roughly £50, then hopefully I can bump that up a bit more today with some more bets

I have to go to tescos later or tomorrow to collect the lego I got from that offer this week, might leave it till tomorrow
