Oooh, am looking forward to your half term list....at the mo, mine just consists of essay writing, not very exciting:oI really need to sort out a new signature!0 -
Am being pretty productive right now, so far the food cupboards have been gutted, theres enough in there to mean I really shouldn't need to spend more than £30 on food this week

The washing machine is on, bathroom is clean and sparkly once more, all rooms are tidy but do need a good clean still.
Ds is happy playing bus drivers, so I am making the most of it and getting some bits done while I have some energy

Well I haven't been posting much on here today because the bonus I was waiting for was credited and I have done more betting today than I've done for months and months, and basically it all worked in my favour and I bust out with £200ish profit from the offer :j :j
I am one very happy benben tonight

I am going to use £45 to clear the Next account, and £30 to take ds to his first proper football match next weekend
which will leave £125 approx to go into the mortgage pot :T :T I am so so so happy about this, its a decent amount rather than the dribs and drabs of £3 / £4 I've been making recently, and has cheered me up no end

Stats update....
11.78% of 2011 has passed, and you have now reached 22.04% of your target for 2011 :beer:
(Amended, still a magnificent 21.18% with Benben's new figures)
Great going, Benben!! :j:j

Thankyou so much GQ for the stats update, however I've just noticed a hiccup ... my betting spreadsheet must have a mistake in it somewhere as it hasn't allowed for the commision at the exchange, so actual profit cam in at £150 not £200 after all
A bit annoying but could have been much much worse, and its still a fab profit for a couple of hours work
Off to reupdate the signature

Hi Benben, just tried sending you a pm but your inbox is full - Miss popular!
Just to say thanks for your message and £150 is still brilliant. Hoping I get a decent offer soon.
