    For all you MB'ing wannabees, go to the gambling board and look up my thread from last week, in fact hold on I'll go get the link

    :whistle:

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=486080

    Read through this thread, I got some great help from a couple of the MB'ers on there who talked me through it. I then posted a possible match on the newbie thread and got a lot of help on there too.

    Do not jump in with 2 feet, always read the instructions over and over (and over) again and get someone to look at your first bet before you place it.

    Good luck, just waiting for my freebie bets with sporting bet and betfair to be credited and I'll be placing a completely risk free bet!! Guaranteed profit :D

    Ive just been and posted some books. We have another one to do but I had to buy some more jiffy bags from 99p stores .

    Sigh.

    I need to make money! I cant find anywhere to take these blasted toners :wall:

    I am now thinking make money 24-7 and as I wondered around my office at 7.15am this morning I chatted to the postroom who have agreed to save all boxes and jiffy bags for me so I don't have to buy any when I am posting my sold ebay items.

    Talking of ebay items, posted off 3 pairs of shoes today and realised that the postage did not cover the costs - arghhhhhhh.

    However, I did manage to go to lunch with a friend who treated me and I got my boss to agree to me working overtime on Saturday. If I work from 6am until 12 that is 6 hours at double time, plus petrol plus travel time so that will help.

    I have just finished a monthly cycle of migraines so can sympathise with you lynz - I had my eyes tested and they are fine - apparently its hormonal.

    I think I will list some things on spoonfeeder tonight with them uploading on Sunday.

    I am interested in the matched betting too but I am easily confused but will take a look later thanks for posting the info

    they are HP toners - I did find somewhere that would give me 12.50 each but i needed 12 to sell them. Now I have 12- they seem to have gone bust! how annoying!

    Brill work there welshy- i can see you getting into DFW mode proper ;) I like it!!

    Im certain someone on here will know, Ill hunt down the answer.

    the great thing about these companies is that they come to your house to collect.

    To be honest, Im only 2 weeks into this challegne or whatever it is and im already sick of the sight of the interior of the post office :o

    :laugh: I know exactly what you mean! I'm beginning to forget what it's like to not spend my lunch break queuing - between ebaying, reclaiming bank charges & free dvd trials I seem to be posting something or other on a daily basis.
