    And by a strange quirk of fate........I have made two mistakes matched betting today (never made even one before today) and, can you believe it, I have somehow ended up in profit :j

    It could have gone horribly wrong though, and I could have lost about £25 which I would not have been happy with.

    Note to self........do not try matched betting when you are in a hurry.

    Hiya hypno! Bad luck on the matched betting, But cool that you ended up in profit!! is it likely to be all day on sunday? I'm around most of the day if you wanted me to keep an eye on kids for you, seems a shame to miss out on £100. No worries either way.Hope all going well in the hypno household and good luck with ebay!

    Thanks P for the offer - The problem really was that they are ski racing (again!) so they need someone to get up at the crack of dawn and take them etc. But, DD has said she is not bothered about racing this weekend as she has loads of homework to do, and I can hopefully arrange a lift with one of the other ski families for DS, which would mean that I can teach. Will know for def tonight at race training but fingers crossed. Thanks for the offer though.

    Are you ready for Matched Betting on Monday? It is like sex - first time you get all nervous and then afterwards you wonder what the heck you were getting worried about..........:o

    or is that just me :confused:

    Hi hypno! Just wanted to say hi and well done on the choccy thing.
    Sorry things didn't go completely to plan on matched betting (computers eh? :rolleyes:) but as you say - it could have been worse.

    Gosh - I hope the DHL thing works out so you are not out of pocket too.

    Right gotta dash - BF is servng up dinner (takeaway - he paid for it!!) - catch you soon.

    Ooh takeaway. Could just do with one of those right now. My family are starting to rebel against pasta!!

    Have managed to get DS sorted with a lift to the ski race on Sunday, so that means I can do my teaching! Yay :j - I feel a bit bad about not taking him racing myself, but £100 - can't turn that one down if at all possible!

    That's great that you can earn the extra teaching and DS is took care of....that's a bit more towards it...you amaze me the ingenious ways you have for earning money...keep it up
