How about average weekly increase and % above/below average

- 6.5 mile run
- Money to pots
- Made HM sundried tomato houmous
- Made HM shepherdless pie
- Sold another DVD
- Matched bet settled for c. £21 profit
- Withdrew c. £700 from matched betting accounts, going to add some to savings
- Got to order some new gravel for my fish tank, redoing the current sand/gravel combo is the horrible bank holiday chore! While spending more money might not sound like a money saver, I'm hoping to save £60/year in chemicals by spending £30 changing to something a bit more low tech :rotfl:

I am thinking about trying to write up an idiots guide that's in a slightly improved format from what's currently available on the forum. It does the job, but it leaves a lot of questions unanswered and some of the participants on that particular board could be a little more friendly (although most are fine)
I think a middle ground between nothing and chapter and verse would work well for most intelligent people.0 -
