    Glad you feel better Pania, and you are more than welcome to run through matched betting at any time. It's a shame BAUK isn't local otherwise we could all sit together armed with laptops and I would be able to talk it through with you "live"!

    I think by the end of the weekend I will have come out of it ok as one of the free bets is £100 but by the time I get it, I will have earned it well and truly as my laptop keeps crashing and online banking has given up on me!

    No plans this evening other than plenty of coffee (decaf of course) and MSE/DFW - the children have planned an evening of telly and the OH is off doing volunteer work - he helps out on the big "bendy-bus" (the SOS project) in Norwich, picking up drunken teenagers and sobering them up when they have had an argument with their boyfriends and have no money for taxi home etc (gosh, have just read that and it sounds a bit dodgy, but honestly, it is proper volunteer work, not pervs!!!). Goodness only knows why he does it - he doesn't get home until about 4.30 in the morning, and could get vomitted over, and certainly they get their fair share of abuse, but he has been doing this for a couple of years and obviously enjoys it so who am I to question why?

    Hmmm, blackangel fancy a weekend in norwich!! call it an investment! ;-) that would've been excellent hypno, nothing quite like seeing it in practice to understand it.
    Sounds like a great evening you've got planned ahead, a cuppa, DFW and telly. Not even going to look at whats on else the housework will never be done and the wall will never get painted! will post aaw i get a spare moment/get bored/think stuff it i'm DFW'ing! Great news re the £100 free bet, can you withdraw the amount you accidentally deposited yet or still waiting for it back? Let us know the results when you get them!
    Not heard of a scheme such as the bus but sounds like a great idea. gets vulnerable people off the streets and into safety. He sounds like a very good man putting himself at risk and giving up his time voluntarily.
    Have got laptop on work surface while pretending to wash up right now, poss not the safest combination going!!
    right, onwards!

    LOL at laptop and washing up scenario. Could very well be :eek: so be careful Miss P!

    Hi El, I have got your DVD but missed the post office today. Will send it first class Monday and you should get it on Tuesday. Did mean to get it out today but was longer doing mystery shopping than anticipated.

    The laptop is temperamental I think today - maybe it needs a rest :o

    Think laptop is going on strike, It's not paid enough for the long hours/no breaks/overheating keyboard keys!

    I see laptops all across the country downing wireless cards and marching with placards in protest of all the DFW work being done (or not done as the case may be!).

    Anyway, my laptop has nothing to complain about - it had a rest last Thursday between 9pm and Friday morning 7am :rotfl:

    Hmmm, have realised there are somethings you can train men to do with time. Put the loo seat down, offer you a drink when they're making themselves one, but housework? not even sure freud could work out a way to make them do that!!! ie OH in bath, me? ironing and getting spare room ready for decorating, Hypno, home looking after the kids, OH out. Blackangel.... actually lets not talk about what blackangel may be up to right now!! te he te he te he!!
