    Well done Sampa :T you've just reminded me I was meant to bring my list of books I wanna Amazon to work with me but I forgot :mad:

    Just about to go out on a lunch time mystery shop mission, it's about a 2 mile walk there and back and I think it's gonna rain, is it worth it for 6 quid??!

    Dez, it wasn't a food one :( but still I got the bus there and walked back as the traffic was chokka over Tower Bridge and thought it'd be quicker to walk. Isn't it funny when you can see where you're going to end up you think it's closer :eek:

    I'm now exhausted and need to put my feet up

    Ah Dez, read it through again. It's not too confusing when it finally clicks in! Basically the principle is sign up with a bookie that gives a bonus for signing up, ie sportingbet and sportingodds...you deposit and place a bet with £25 then on the following Tuesday you get a free £25 to bet with. So the first week you'll take a small loss like £1 or so but then you're playing with your free bet the next time so even if you lose you're £25 up cos you've insured your bet at the exchange. Oh god sorry that sounds complicated, it really isn't though. I've got 2 free £25 bets today so stand to make profits of £48 today :j

    I got overcharged at my mystery shop today so had to trot back and get a refund. I may try that matched betting but I am very easily confused. Being a working mum, a mystery shopper and trying to get the house sorted I really do find it hard to get time on here. OH still doesn't really understand how much info/help is given on here. Thanks for all the advice so far
