  • Ds has decided he's quite happy playing with his toys for now so I have whizzed around and got several jobs done, the flats fairly tidy now but still needs a good clean. I want to work on my half-term list today too :D

    Oooh, am looking forward to your half term list....at the mo, mine just consists of essay writing, not very exciting:o
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    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 :D

    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 :D:D:D I am going to use £45 to clear the Next account, and £30 to take ds to his first proper football match next weekend :D 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 :D 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. :)
