    Well done, keep it up. I think it always looks good in percentage, 10% is a lot more than you think.

    Some good news this week. Somehow Halifax have sent another letter to me regarding credit card charges. I have already been refunded but this letter is as if someone else has looked into complaint again after it already being solved and in short i have been refunded again. Also on another Halifax account that i had not heard from about these charges since first asking for a refund in December, they have refunded over £100 onto my credit card, so as it stands im about £480 better off on my credit cards.....:j:j:j:j:j:j.

    Not much to say really lately. Still plodding along with my matched betting. This really is a saviour. £140 this month so far and a few quid saved up in lose change so still on track meeting monthly target and exceeding what i targeted a few months ago. With £600 also saved up im quite excited :)

    Oh i also won a free portable dvd player through matched betting. Every little helps as the tesco lady says.

    April end of month.

    Court case for claiming my Halifax charge have been cancelled now as i have been refunded all money.......twice........shhhh!!!!!
    Made just over £150 and a free portable dvd player from matched betting in April. So £75 to go on to cards and £75 to be saved for wedding fund...though still no closer to booking anything.....need to get off my bum.
    Im thinking of putting the dvd on ebay for some extra funds, not sure yet!

    We found £200 in an old dormant account we had the mortage paid into which was a nice surprise only for the oven to break. Can not find the model as it has been discontinued so will have to buy a new oven.
    Washing machine also exploded the other day and done a lot of damage inside so a new machine was needed. Parts and labour was not worth it. Would of had to raid credit card or savings but thankfully my OH Mum came to rescue and gave us some money which was nice. Bought a manufacturers seconds machine for £160. Scratch on the front but worth £300 in shops so think i got a good deal with 12 months warranty also......but now the pipe is leaking when it spins where it connects to the sink....Arggg!!Will sort that out over weekend.

    Little ones birthday next Saturday so will need to sort something out for him but all in all still going well. Will get back with credit card totals in next couple of days.
