    If you can get to grips with your accounts, you can get to grips with matched betting!! Read the intro guide, read again, and then read once more. Before you give it a go, read it again. and once more for luck. Only then give it a shot - if you ask questions on the newbies thread on the gambling board they will help you through.

    Thick has nothing to do with it. Anyway, did we say you are thick :confused:

    Now get off and read that thread - you could make £1000 before Christmas, easily if you can get to grips with it - surely that is a bit of a motivator!!

    I can't do it as it says you have to have a good understanding of spreadsheets!!!...I will have to go to the library to get a book on them and if I don't understand that I'll see if I can get a course...

    Afternoon all...
    I've been and paid the taxi insurance this morning(on my cashback card)..so that will get paid the 16th september...lol...
    It ended up costing me an extra £100 as there was an option to protect my no claims bonus...so took it as I didn't on house insurance..I had 5 years no claim on house ins but had to make a claim...doh....so will have to really try to cut the bill for october on renewal!!!
    Luckily I have now nearly finished all the massive bills for the business...I only have my badges £90 to do in October!!!
    So this means I can concentrate on clearing the debt and getting no more.Also if i didn't make it clear my cashback card is paid in full every month so isn't listed as it isn't a debt..it's just transferring money about!!!
    My MA called me this morning and it looks like BOS won't owe me anything as they charged what they said they would on the original papers...why does nobody ever owe me money under these schemes?
    Just done the usual stuff today...bank etc...so nothing much happening her.
    Yesterday i managed to hoover all of downstairs and clean the bathroom!!!...Today I bought a potty for JJ grand total 50p...bargain!!!...I'm having him this weekend as his mum is moving...so no car boot for me again!!!

    I didn't get anything back from my old mortgage either, as I wasn't charged anything, and I was very organised a few years ago so didn't get any tax credits back like some people did either. Oh well!

    I hope you are able to have a relaxing week - looks like you will be having a busy weekend!

    Hi Hypno and all...
    I start as I mean to go on all my weekly budget is in it's right pots..so hope that I don't run out of money before the end of the month!!!..it's really scary doing budget pots...but they needed to be done I guess to show the true picture...will just have to keep a close eye on things...
    I am going to try and chill out this week but you never know what's around the corner...I'll need loads of energy for little man...thats for sure!!!!
