    Dezzi-83 - I can relate to the hen night thing - had to miss my mate's last night as it was too far, but I told her over a month ago. Regards to the dress- you do pigsback, yes? Start really clicking like crazy, refer a few friends who you know will click a lot too and you'll be able to get a high street voucher to spend on a dress. Then if really desperate (whispering now) if you aired it out, didn't remove the tags and was careful, you could always return it if things are that bad. :o

    Kbarty - you know, I never even noticed your sig but that's FAB! ould love to hear more too.

    Need to add up what I've achieved on this challenge so far - not much but a bit! Not sure how to overlap this challenge and the olympic challenge 2 - any ideas?

    Hi Dezzi :hello:

    Looks like you've got the idea, just make sure you post on the gambling newbies thread with your exact figure/odds at the bookies & betfair before actually placing the bet & they'll confirm that you've got the lay stake etc right.

    At the bookies, when you back brazil to win you're essentially saying "bet ya brazil will win!"
    At betfair, when you lay on brazil to win you're saying "bet ya brazil won't win!"

    Helped me to think of it that way anyway.

    Good luck! (although do it right & you shouldn't need any :D)

    Ok, I've been following this thred for a bit now, and have decided - I'm in (if thats ok with you guys). I'm always in and out of debt, which gets in the way of all the things I want to do so I'm going to come up with a budget and a plan. Hopefully it can be sorted out fairly quickly, and I can cut up all the cards!

    Ok, I've worked out all my amounts, I'm cheating a little bit by counting things I've done last week, but since the challenge has already started i think thats ok!
