    So, another day is upon us in the wonderful world of DFW-ness. Today it is the Royal Norfolk Show. I am supposed to be going with my Mum and the children, but I cannot really afford it, and I always spend too much when I am there. So I have made my excuses and Mum is just taking the Children. I have given them food money and spending money and it has still cost me £40!!! So think what it would have cost if I had gone too!!

    So, a day of peace and quiet to do some housework (perhaps), some real work (quite probably) and some dfw-surfing (definately without a doubt).

    3 things on ebay finished yesterday totalling £89 and another finishes today currently at £11.50 so that will be another amount in the pot, and I will be doing a matched bet or two today to use up some free bets that are about to expire which will hopefully net me another £50 or so.

    The children are sorting out wellies and waterproofs as we speak.........:D

    They will have fun, whatever the weather!

    I have just sent an e-mail off to apply for AQA. We will see if I get lucky.

    Hi hypno - you're doing so well, congratulations - I can understand not wanting to go to the show, and nice to have some time to yourself, you are *so* busy. Can I ask what market you were matched betting on yesterday with Pania? And what you'll be looking for today? I'd like to try to do a dry run..... (very very dry, no separate bank account set up yet, deffo not for money).

    Hi KC, we were using tennis - I like betting on the tennis but you do have to be careful because some bookies have different rules to betfair so make sure you check it any differences in the terms of the particular site you are hoping to use (more details on the gambling loophole board).

    I have been having a bit of a blitz in the house (it previously looked like it was in the blitz!) but things are not coming along as quickly as I had hoped!! I have made quite a difference, but a long way yet to go.....

    Feeling pretty good today - something ends on ebay in half an hour so that will help the challenge, but need to get more things on to have any chance of making any real in-roads over the next couple of months!

    Hi webby, I can't recall any that haven't asked for my ccv number. Try posting on the gambling introductory offers board on here - there is a fab thread at the top for newcomers and I am sure someone will be able to help.
