    Oh hypno, commiserations re the Barclaycard and matched betting frustrations. Sorry May is turning out to be a bad month for you. I hope you don't have to spend the whole bank holiday weekend mystery shopping but can console yourself by sitting in your newly beautiful garden and watching your courgettes grow.

    You are making such good progress in tackling your debts that I feel sure you will be on your way again soon.

    Four mystery shops done this evening and two others that were shut when I arrived, despite being in the times specified so I hope I still get paid for those.

    Out of the matched betting marathon today, only one has completed fully giving me a total of £7.44:rotfl: Hardly going to get rich on that one, but at least it is £7.44 in the pot.

    Another 4am start tomorrow morning as the children are ski racing again, so an early night for me tonight (once I have input the mystery shop results online).

    I hope everyone has a good weekend!

    I am about half way through the marathon mission that they have set me so still quite a lot to go, but I am getting there. The only problem is the expenses - I have to spend £6-8 on each visit which I will get back in due course, but there are 24 parts to this series so that is a lot of money being shelled out in advance!

    Back from a very long day. The children did as well as they expected to do, and skied well, but were never in the running for medals, but they have had a good day, and I am just absolutely knackered!!

    Budget wise I took £21 with me from the shopping budget, and came home with the grand sum of 1p!! At least I managed to stick to the budget without having to resort to using the credit card, and even managed to get home before the car screamed for more petrol so didn't have to top up either.

    Needless to say, I will be having an early night and hopefully a reasonable lay in tomorrow, before getting back to the matched betting and the mystery shopping :D
