Just redeemed for £3 Paypal off a survey site. When that hits the bank account, I will put it aside for my MBing fund.
Also cut my fringe to save a few quid.

Today has started off well. I've won £10 on Jackpot Joy's free game. I might use that to do the Chat bingo thing instead of putting it into the MBing fund, as the offer ends on 31st August, so want to get it done soon as.

Okay, I've done my first matched bet :eek:. I've only done a little one and I will only make £5.10 profit, but I am just trying to make sure I do know what I'm doing.
I'll let you know if it works out. If not, that money making venture was short lived.

Oh you are brave.
Hope it works out.

Phew, the matched bet worked :j. £5.10 profit is mine
. I found out that if I went for something with higher odds, I would have made a bit more, but at least I know I have the hang of it.
Going to go for another small deposit for the next one and build my way up to the bigger ones. I feel very good about this. I think there is a real chance that I can pay my mum back by December 16th using this method.

Placed another matched bet today. I stand to make £14.55 on this one.
To pay my mum back, I really need to be getting an extra £600 each month through September, October and November. I also still have half of August and will have half of December too, so I have a bit of leeway.
I am away for 5 days in September. OH wanted to go to Spain and I said the only way I will go is if he pays for it - and he has. So we are off on 5th September. It's pretty last minute as he knows I wouldn't have gone if my sister was still pregnant or if Kian was still in hospital.
After I've paid my mum back, I need to start saving for a MacBook. My laptop is so slow these days. I use it so much for work and stuff that I need a faster and more reliable one.
