"Aren't we all" you might say!!!!

Just thinking about it this lunch time as I filled in my application and test for AQA, checked my ebay listings, my matched betting balances and email offers.

I work full time and do the above in my spare time (okay okay, some of it in work time too like checking ebay...shhhh dont tell).

My hubby isn't working at the moment but I have no problem with that and I don't pressure him re work etc as I know he is a difficult position to be able to find something before we go to Oz in five weeks.

As my signature says, just really like trying to increase the bank balance.

sorry if this post might seem irrelevant, just a thought I had

    I think you are quite right to make a profitable use of your time online.

    (I missed the call for AQA people, but will keep an eye open in future.)

    Pop yourself over to the Gambling Introductory Offer Loopholes board on this site.

    It is NOT about gambling. There is heaps of stuff to read and read and read again so that you know what you are doing. It is about maximising 'free' bets. NOT gambling your own money as that is not the MSE way.

    Have you been on any kind of course like A level, GCSE, degree where you still have your coursework? If so you can type your essays out and put them on a disc and sell them as revision guides on ebay. Make sure you copywrite it first (by just writing copywright and your name) on the disc and at the end of each essay.

    hoping for the AQA results to come through and my ebay stuff to finish well today.
