    Ok guys off today as DD is a bit poorly so I thought I might try my hand at a bit of gambling!! He He!!
    can anyone please post links for a couple of sites where I can get free bets and am able to withdraw without penalties?

    I started off with SportingOdds (https://www.sportingodds.com), you get up to 3 free £10 bets... I made about £50 in winnings from this offer and you can withdraw without penalties. :)
  • I cant see the free £10 bets anywhere. Help please? Thanks!!

    About your possible redundancy and house buying. Why don't you go and talk to your HR department and ask them what they are saying to mortgage companies about future redundancies, when the mortgage companies take up references? Next June is an awful long way away (round 3 of your company redundancies, IIRC) for them to be saying people are at risk.

    If your HR department say that references for mortgages are unaffected, in your shoes I would just go ahead - BUT make sure that you take out mortgage protection insurance. That way you will know that if the worst happens you have a year to find a job while your mortgage will be paid! :)

    Hope this helps......

  • problem with mortgage payment protection is that no company will offer it when the information has been given it to us

    i think it was fate saying don't do it

    strange how the mortgage contracts arrive from the solicitors on the day they tell us.

  • Just an idea but if you have any books hanging around that you don't want anymore or a friend may give you some.....buy a brown envelope or reuse an old one if you are really doing this properly...advertise your book on the following link and see what happens....only problem is if people are interested ...( but you can check whether you will make a profit when you search the ISBN ) ask your mates though, maybe they will be kind and give you a good selling book, All postage costs in UK are £2.75 (which are paid by the buyer) I think, so make sure its not very heavy.

    Its free to list by the way.

    P.s tip....you would be surprised what people want to buy...so try anyway.

  • I haven't done too badly selling books through amazon, sold a computer game as well, quite pleased as it sold for as much as I paid for it!
  • not been motivated at all this week, so the total has slipped

    got some stuff which looks as if it is likely to make me a profit
