    im still here :o

    feeling bvery poorly and snivvelly. todays plan was a bit of MBing but my head isnt stacking up the figures as im not firing on my cylinders so im about to take the dog back to bed and read some free mags.

    Ive got 200s worth of free bets now, so shall i add them to the total or not - or only once Ive withdrawn them?

    i have loads of ebaying to do as well, I suspect all this rainy weather might be busy busy?

    :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
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    I've been counting the MB profits as soon as they're withdrawable from the bookies. I've currently got balances at sporting odds, sporting bets and betfair, but could withdraw them at any time.

    Hi everyone

    Looking for a bit of creative inspiration here ;) .

    I've won 24 bottles of wine and haven't got a clue what to do with it (I know I could drink it but I'm not a big fan of wine!! :beer: ). I want to get something for it but know it's difficult to sell alcohol and stay on the right side of the law. Has anyone got any ideas as to what I can do with it?

    Thanks

    Emily x

    Emily,

    Could you sell it to someone you know? Anyone having a party- wedding, anniversary? Even for Xmas?

    your right, its not like you can put it in the paper or ebay it is it?

    Hiya Emily, well done on the win ......... what about asking around and seeing if anyone wants to buy them off you. I've been getting wine for the tesco points and at Christmas I am going to make up a few drinks hampers with mine and give them as Christmas presents. If you cannot sell them maybe thats an idea.

    I havent done much today but I did get a phone call asking me to do 2 ms jobs so I asked if I can have an enhancement (extra payment more money) and the chap agreed.

    Emily, have you not got a little corner shop that would be happy to buy them off you (behind the counter of course ;))

    Well I've been really bad.....like really bad. I've had a complete s*** week with money. First of all my car died and I had to pay £776 yesterday to get it back after it being fixed, I then felt sorry for myself cos I've been off work ill and took the kids into town and spent a fortune, how do you manage to justify 4 soaker guns, a pair of crocs for ds, 3 dollys (babies) for dd, half a dozen tops for me, pair of converse for dd, magazines galore for me and ds, jigsaws, puzzles, football, 2 pairs of sunglasses (me and ds), tennis set....umm and I've forgotten the rest, to husband after sitting him down last night and explaining that he really does waste money and he really needs to sort that out :eek:

    I need to make some serious money fast, after paying out the repairs on my car yesterday. That was my entire spending money for my holiday next month.

    So help me, I know ebay, amazon etc.. and don't have time for car boots... but please does anyone have any idea how I can earn a couple of hundred quid in the next 3 weeks :confused:

    Please help..

    Bless you, I'm sorry I haven't got any ideas how to get money quick but I just wanted to say most people on here have days like you have just had so don't beat yourself up too much. Can you take any of your stuff back ( not the kids) and if you can't oh well,just write down how poo you feel now and read it the next time you want to splurge.

    Ps You could make £100 or so from Quidco but probably not paid til Sept.
