  • I had a free £10 bet and turned it into 26.20 so another £16.20 to my total! I've got money stuck in ibetx which I have to verify the account and my scanner is kaput so I have to get a photocopy of my passport etc to post.

  • Well the car boot sale went ok, only made £20 but that has still doubled my total, all of it was xmas pressies that have been sat around since at least last xmas, also the cross stitch sets that gran gave me last week went and all sorts of other junk that I never paid for.

    We got there at 6am unloaded the car then 5 minutes later it poured down and there was thunder and lightning :( so we piled it all back in the car and waited...... wasnt to long before the daylight came out and the rain stopped though. had a great laugh with my mate, somehow she had aquired 3 packs of tena lady which kept us amused (and also came in handy to dry stuff off!) needless to say they didnt sell! friend was pleased though she made about £50
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!

    The mortgage is being withdrawn from. I know that it will be a foot-print on my credit rating but its better to have that then a repossessed flat on the record

    I managed to mix up the Lancome items I sold and send them to the wrong people....so now I have to get them returned and sent out again....by the time I've refunded postage and paid the extra, I'll have made a loss....not huge...but irritating.

    Hungover too,.......need chocolate......sofa here I come.:o

    Good luck all. :-)

    I've placed 5 matched bets on the Real Madrid match tonight which will bring total up nicely by at least 100 when the free bets have been bet through.

    Haven't done anything else for the challenge that I wanted to but have got loads done round the house.

    Well done to the car booters who braved the weather and sorry to hear about your house sale Ben but hopefully it's all for the best and it just wasnt meant to be at this time (I paid for 2 surveys before I got this house - well 3 if you include the survey on this house. Each time the survey came back with things - one asbestos and a condemned garage and the other concrete corrossion - not sure about spelling - anyway I was gutted and felt that it was the end of the world each time and my landlord was selling the house I was living in and the council wouldn't give me anything - now looking back though it was all for the best despite my first grey hair that promptly arrived on the completion of my sale!!)
