    Wooohoooo......:T

    Another £146 from matched betting.......tra-la-la-la-la :j

    If I could do that every day, I'd give up working....although doing this challenge means I'm rather deglecting work!

    *Deglecting????? Looks like I'm doing that to my spelling too!*

    I can only advise you to take your time......it is rather like wading through quicksand, but once the details click into place....it's sooopah!

    Although my Mum is worried I'm going to develop a "gambling" habit. Have given up trying to explain.

    Good news is that OH is so impressed by my growing MB pot that he asked me last night if I'd do it for him as well if he gave me his card. I'll build him a lovely big pot and then tell him that my commission is a holiday!

    OOOohhh......there's a thought......this would be a way to pay for the wedding!!!!!:T

    Sea78 - see how things work out for the best - you thought you were down but you are not!

    I have yet to add Paypal money and Quidco money to my total - that will be a nice little amount tomorrow.

  • Evening all!!

    WOA, everyones said it all but wanted to add my 2p as well. I thin kyou've done enough already, DO NOT feel guilty about wanting to have more time for you. Thanks for everything.

    My challenge has taken a dramatic turn...well it will soon hopefully!!!
    I had a meeting yesterday with my advisor at the jobcentre who sorts out all my income and stuff being a single non working mummy. I'm going to go back to work :eek: I'm gonna try and get a part time job locally and put wee man into childcare. They will give me £250 just because and then if I can earn £100 a week, even after paying for childcare costs I'll be around £60 a week better off!! :j If I can start before end of april that alone will have cleared my target!!

    I dont do things by halves me!!! :D

    Plus I've worked out a way of being able to sell my car without that horrible man wanting half of it so can do that now too!!! Even if I buy a cheap(er) little run around for a grand I'll still be £2k up :j

    Who needs amazon and ebay!! :rotfl: (which by the way have been a bit pants for me for this challenge!!! Ho hum!!)

    Oh and I got an email the other day from a research company I dont even remember registering with so just for filling in some personal details have gained another £3.50!

    And I'm not giving up on the matched betting lark..gonna read it again tonight, gotta make the most of the print outs as it took over half an hour to print 20 pages...blummin printer out of paper warnings...there was a wad of paper in there, it just obviously didn't like the colour!!!!! :rolleyes:

    I am so gonna be debt free by the end of this year!!!! :money:

    Well done to everyone and expecially to jmf, good on ya!! :beer:
  • I am so pleased for you monstersmummy! :T
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!
