  • Put me down for the matched betting classes too :D If I still owe you money at the end of it, I'll do your ironing!

    What a beautiful house - though I agree you'll need a cleaner. I'll volunteer as cleaner and gardener to beat the previous volunteer away from the barn :rotfl:

    As you have experience of adult ed. would you not consider hiring a room with a bank of computers so that we could have an MSE Matched Betting training weekend. I'm sure there's a YHA in Norwich that could put us up for the night and we could all bring a dish to share :T It doesn't matter what you charge since it's likely we'll earn that back within a year.... which means you could charge us each £200... which is the end of your credit card debt in one weekend. ... not that I've given this too much thought you understand :p

    **adds you all to list**

    Tesco shopping done online for delivery on Monday - I couldn't get a code to work so had to pay full price, but hopefully it will see me through for the best part of a fortnight.

    I've made a whole £3.50 on a bet, so that will be withdrawn and paid to the 0% too - every little helps!

    Hope everyone has had a good day so far....x

    Yep so when's the date!!!!?

    By the way hypno - I caught up on a couple of weeks diary last night - and today saw me cleaning my kitchen including the dreaded filter in the fan! Good job too since I found a broken bulb that still lit up and scorch marks!

    Ooh, that sounds like it is a good job you have found it, SH!

    I haven't done so much flylady this week, but have done enough to keep things reasonable - and I can STILL walk to my bed without risking life or limb :D So that HAS to be an improvement :T

    I'm in on he matched betting live-in seminar as well, and I thought I made it clear that I was going to be Hypno's ironing person living in that barn?! (If you didn't get it, guys, SCRAM! ;) )

    Anway, sorry for hijacking your thread, Hypno: just felt the need to virtually piddle all over my barn territory. ;)
    Please call me 'Pickle'
