    Get some matched betting done - see if you can raise enough money to pay for it?

    see now youve put the idea in my head and i can imagine a certain special person groaning thinking i cant do this anymore she's gonna be the death of me....i have been sitting here with my soa again thinking do we really need to eat at all can we not starve for two months and how about if i just dont pay the mortgage (i have one of these payment holiday thingys included into my mortgage) i even pulled out my wage slip and got on the phone to the company demanding the return of my union money i pulled out the union a few months ago after all the holiday rubbish but still they take the money from me have phoned and written to them more than once now so have stepped it up a gear to include refunds lol..and then it was time for the if i get my compensation claim i could put off paying the car off and just go thoughts (have had a busy thinking day today).....but all of these things dont take away the fact we have gotten back into debt so the level headed el has decided that those debts need to be cleared and i will get back into mbing and overtime shortly to help clear them ..however the imature el is sitting with her face tripping her and in a wee cream puff cause she aint getting to have fun

    well i got nearly £40 in from quidco and got an extra £15 from my wages (second job) so am putting that towards my visa slowly bringing it down ..i have a wedding today and thanks to a good friend made over £17 doing some games (deal or no deal through coral & eurobet) so that will need to do us for drinks etc (were only going for a few hours) and feeling rather stingey i am just gonna give them £20 as a present (i would usually give alot more) and i'm gonna take the money for that from the shopping ...i'm incredibly tired as i've done 44.5 hours overtime this week so far (as well as my normal shift) will get paid some of the money this month and some next month and am putting it towards the visa straight away (before i get the chance to spend it) even got a bit of sympathy from hubby (who thinks i'm doing too much ...mmmm i think i might agree with him there) and when i told him i still have another 6 hours over time to do before the week is out he went nuts but hey were getting there slowly

    El, with the deal or no deal, I got an email for my coral account, which I did, but does that mean I can do it for my eurobet account or is it invite only?

    good to see that you are well!

    Just tried it on OH coral account, and it didn't release the bonus, but I came out with a 10% profit so that will do, and I will use the £5 I deposited for the goodwood bonus today, so not lost anything there.

    I dare not try it though on the eurobet accounts, in case they don't pay the bonus either, as I did only get the one e-mail, they are obviously not liking me!!

    Things are ok here, I am really enjoying having time with the children in the summer hols. I still ache, somewhat, from the car accident, but with the help of the physio things are improving. Other than that, things are ok, the sun is shining, the debt is not going down, but thankfully is not going up too much either, so hopefully we will see some reduction in that during the latter part of the year.

    I need to get back into the matched betting though, now that the football season is about to start, I really have no reason not to! I have funds in betfair to cover me there, so it is only me that is stopping me!!

    it's funny about the mbing (maybe cause of my shifts) i tend not to do it for a while then i get stuck in it for a solid week and make a good bit of money then take a wee break again ...mbing is great but it is time consuming and frustrating (sometimes) when your looking for a good match i'm hoping come august i can start again and get money for the debt and xmas it would be great to be debt free for then (depending on the claim) and even better if i could manage xmas debt free ....glad the physio is working for you the pain from a car accident for me is so debilitating i still get shoulder pain and it stops me doing so many things
