    I've printed off some of the MB beginners link to read through, I figured if I was reading it off a print out then my boss won't suspect to much :rolleyes:

    Is it a little ambitious to think I might have my head round it by friday (payday??)

    PM me if thats any use to you :)
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind

    I need to cancel my lovefilm account (did it thru quidco for the £14.50 sign up), but you still have to phone them despite clicking the cancel link!

  • morning everyone!!

    Tsharp they are really easy going on the phone i think they are pretty used to it. Stick to a reason why ur closing say u werent watch the films and they will back off!!

    Yeh im going to attempt the matched betting and lynz i think its a good idea ill print it off in work today!! Just canceled my barclaycard it feels goooooooooooooooooooooooood!!! Let me know if u have that free fivers u have daily clicks on ther like kelkoo etc etc and a couple of quid for signing up for things like loopy love (where I found an ex!!!!!!! ha ha ha) If theres any websites u need me to sign up let me know im only with a few as listed before!!

    any fresh ideas this morning??

    ooh I think I might have just 'got' the whole MB thing!! I will be printing out the thread though (will go on a hunt in a min) and reading it. Then posting on the newbies thread. I have a bit of money in my debt fund that I can use and if I really go slow and follow everyone's advice AND check it out with the experts I think it'll be safe.

    Hmmm...could boost things for this challenge :)

    Hi Lynz, I think the hard drive has been eaten by a virus, I rung PC world but they don't fix laptops unless it was purchased from them. Laptop hard drives are apparently more expensive than normal towers, I wouldn't know bout this thou. Thanks for the offer, I'll PM you when I get some money to fix it!

    I think we should start looking into the MB thing, I'm going to try and 'get it' at lunchtime, then I think we should discuss which things we should be betting on and then mosey on over to the MB's newbie board to get advice. We will make a fortune!!!
