    Morning! Nothing on the bingo this morning, Essexgirl beat me to it but am pleased it went to an mse'er ;) 2 x 10p on the scratchcards, nothi;)ng new in the banking.

    I;m not very awake today, I went to bed about midnight and ds decided to wake up at 6 this morning :o Luckily I got quite a bit of housework done last night so hopefully I can have quite a chilled day today. We do need to go food shopping but other than that it will be a lazy one I think :D

    She beat me too, but as long as it is going to an MSE'er I have no problem!

    Have a good day - I've got rather too much housework to do for my liking.....some things never change!!

    £50 gone in tescos, how can it be sooo easy to spend £50 on almost nothing :rolleyes:
    Ds is playing at the moment, he wants to make fairy cakes in a bit too. I have dug out a few items to get on ebay today, really need to get back in to it and a couple of them need to be on there asap, eg. shepherds outfit from last years xmas play, not going to need it this year so may as well try and recoup some of the cost of it ;)

    Hey BB, how's u? £50 in Tesco... tut tut.... :rotfl:I spent a similar amount too on not a lot... had to get shower gels, deodorant, washing powder etc, all adds up far too quickly for my liking. Did get an ickle baby outfit for brother's baby due in Jan... too cute! x

    Well I haven't got much done today, its been that kind of day where I just didn't get going properly :confused: I have done several bets but hasn't all gone to plan; basically the offer was bet £20 on a certain match and they give you a free £10 on another match. Well as was fine except I didn't get the first one on in time, the second one I managed to back at betfair instead of laying, no idea how :o, the third one I had to mug the freebie as there was no market at betfair, the fourth one was a freebie for the first goalscorer in the Man Utd match and I bet on Berbatov, who isn't even a sub :o:o so a quick live chat later and I had another free bet credited ;) The 5th and 6th freebies are on matches tonight and tomorrow and the seventh I couldn't bet on as my dear bank decided to block me from depositing again at betfair :mad: No idea why, theres plenty of funds and it was only £50 I wanted to deposit :rolleyes: .... for those non-matched betters reading, basically I had 7 bets available, only managed to qualify for 5 of them and it still managed to go a bit pear-shaped, so far I am about £3 down but still have 2 free bets to go :o

    Other than that I have photographed and worked out the postage for 8 items to go on ebay but haven't yet put them on, must try and get it done tonight. I have also got the ironing done just so I could say I'd achieved something tonight :D

    I started looking for matches for all those early afternoon, but the odds were just too wide, and then my laptop decided to go slowly between betfair and WH, so I ended up deciding that even if I could get a match, I couldn't guarantee I would back and lay in time, so reluctantly gave up before I placed my first one :o So, yup, one of those days for me too......, although I am sure you will be in profit by the time you finish up!

    I've not got anything listed, or even photographed for ebay, so you are well ahead of me there - but I have done a load of ironing too, so will have to be content with that...

    Time to slob in front of the telly, methinks!!

    yep, ebaying will have to wait til tomorrow here too, cant concentrate on xfactor and do that at the same time :o I'm pleased I got most of my ironing done, one less thing to worry about tomorrow. Try and have a rest tonight hypno, an early night, a glass of wine, some choccy or whatever will help you to chill ;):D
