    I thought Joe was very good this evening.........and can definitely see him winning if he keeps performing like that!

    Woohoo, finally one of the bets has gone my way; as a love in-play bet, bet on away side winning 2-1 @ 8.5, waited till it went to 1-1 before laying it at 3.7 for £20 profit, a bit scary as for a long time it looked like I wouldnt make anything from it, so £17 up now for these offers with one more freebie to come tomorrow :D

    A good and not so good morning so far ... I won 50p on the scratchcard and £10 on the bingo :j However, when I tried to deposit £10 so I could withdraw it it was declined. I know theres money in the account so had to phone up the ank and the fraud prevention dept decided I have done too many internet transactions recently :mad: Yes I have deposited at 3 bookies yesterday (only £100 each) and I bought som stuff from M&S (£8 :rolleyes:) but that hardly makes me high risk surely?? They tried saying they called me yesterday to sort it but we were in all day and there was no call :mad: :mad: GRRR!!!!!!!

    Anyway, all sorted now, but I may be looking at taking my banking elsewhere I think ;)

    ooh err missus.......:rotfl:None of MY bets are that interesting :rotfl:

    Bah to the bank though - surely, 4 weeks before Christmas the world and his wife is making greater than usual internet transactions......have they not heard of Christmas shopping :confused:

    thats what I said to the guy on the phone, but he said not many people deposit at 3 bookies in a day :eek: Is it illegal?? NO!!!!! I'm guessing it must be the £8 in M&S that did it, must really flag me up as dodgy that one :rolleyes: :rotfl:

    BBAM, I got a similiar rubbish response when I got my CC cancelled recently but apparently someone else was also trying to buy stuff over the internet using the details so maybe something like that has happened.

    I love lists too, nearly as much as spreadsheets...

    Right, I've had a bath, got dressed, attacked the eyebrows, and done lots of general tidying, but that wasn't on the list :o Okay, plan of action is this: we're going to make some cakes, then ds will have his bath while they're cooking/cooling, then we'll ice them. After that I want to get the photos ordered and some ebay bits done and I have to do the bet between 1.30-2.15. Ds wants to go out (in this weather :eek:), so we may pop in to mums this afternoon and on the way back I msust remember to bring in the guinea pigs sawdust from the garage so I can clean them then finally I can hoover once they're done :rolleyes: Forgot to add that I have some stuff to do for school so will do that tonight when ds is in bed. Oh and I need to get ds to do his list in there somewhere too :o
