    I'm really enjoying reading how you are all getting on every day :). First thread I head to...

    One piece of news - I got the AQA job so thats something!! Dezzie, I thought my test was a gitfink but wow your questions seemed even MORE obscure and I didnt think that was possible!

    If we are all starting matched betting together, maybe we could set up a chat room or something so we can ask each other the dumb questions we dont wanna ask the regulars??

    Howdy all, not v productive for e today - and v quiet here as well! made £1.80 on AQA until my boyf insisted I play cards instead - not very profitable!!

    However dipped back into MB and made my first bet for a while - seems to have gone OK, now waiting for my free bet to credit so I can bet it again and then withdraw my profits - hopefully!!! Will happily offer any advice as queries arise, although can assume you the people on the MB NEWBIE thread are very very helpful and patient -although don't try asking qu in your own thread as you get very short shift!!!

    Anyway thats all from me, hope you got you prize Lynz and will def vote for your pic Emil asap!! Well done with all else & hope the AQA applications go well.

    Im stggered how obscure those AQA auestions are TBH. How much do you get paid per question :confused:

    Yeah not a lot of moneymaking went on for us yesterday neither :(

    Am I right in thinking we've been doing this now for about a week? I think we need to work out a cumulative total of how much we have made between us so far :D

    Todays plan is comping ands surveys at work, and also this evening Im off to habitat to pick up my free goodie bag. Im going to hopefully buy myself a dress using my pigs voucher -but thats nothing to do with the challenge is it!

    COME ON GANG, NO FLAGGING ( says me) LETS MAKE SOME MONEY :money:

    Thanks Dez, I rang them up on Monday to give them a shove and received an offer through the post for half of what I was claiming for yesterday, rang the number on the top of the letter and said I would like to negotiate for a higher amount as that's only half of what I was claiming for and he asked me how much I wanted, I said £2,600 (I was only claiming for £2,619 :rotfl:) and he went away, came back, and said yeah!!!!! Should be in my account in 14 days. Once the money's in there I'm gonna ring a garden landscaper and have my garden sorted cos the kids can't even play out there at the moment, I'm so chuffed!!

    Lynz, when are you going to pick up your parcels?? The suspense is killing me!!

    Not a lot of money making going on at the moment, boss is about and it's difficult here :(

    Never mind, at least I've done £105 in a week!!

    I'm going to do a big online grocery shop today or tomorrow and will see what bargains I can pick up on the BOGOFs etc.

    Oh and I'm gonna get my head round the MB spreadsheet and see if I can input some bets without actually betting to get an idea of what's what.

    Speak to you all later.

    Jo.

    Im going to get my parcels on Sat! I know its killing me too.

    The a**e of it is I have to trek all the way to Enfield to get the DHL one ( which isnt a prize it is the product from pinecone) and have to get there on public transport ( 2 buses, 2 trains SIGH) and then bomb back to the one in Leytonstone to get the other one by midday!

    I bet its something really rubbish LOL after all this effort :D
